Just out of pure curiosity, what sorts of products are advertised in
commercials on the *Rush Limbaugh radio?

i

First off, national radio advertisers often don't even know what programs
air their commercials. Radio time at that level is bought in packages that
guarantee demographics and numbers of listeners, not particular programs.

Hey, the listeners are there. Rush gots -earballs-! (40M ears/week )
He works hard for his $33 million annual pay.

But there is an anti-Limbaugh campaign targeting some big advertisers
whose
commercials appear on the show, and they've listed Darden Restaurants, Red
Lobster, Pfizer, and AutoZone among their targets.

What a twisted crock that is. Don't the ANTIs do any homework about
the companies they choose to (attempt to) ruin or the way radio
advertising works? *Maroons!

Before you Rush to judgment, here are two other facts: Several of those
advertisers were not happy that their participation in Limbaugh's show was
exposed to the public at large (one or two claimed they didn't know it -- I
find that unlikely), and promptly pulled out. They found the whole thing
pretty embarrassing.

The second thing is, the antis know perfectly well how it works. That's why
they publicized the advertisers' names.

The third is, with Limbaugh's audience size, nobody is getting hurt. Nobody
is trying to "ruin" anybody. The point they were making is that a lot of the
people the advertisers want to appeal to don't think very highly about
companies that support Limbaugh. And it proved to be correct.

Rush will still get his $400 million, so don't worry about him.

It just further proves how much a minority Rush's followers are.

But it just takes one Rush nut with a gun to have the Country have a
bad day.
