Thanks Rush For Showing The Way
I work for Town Square Media and a number of our company s 322 radio stations, like KIT, for years carried and enjoyed much success with the Rush Limbaugh Show.
What happens next now that Rush has died from complications of lung cancer is uncertain. The corporate response for now is “
Rush was one of the greats in radio. You may have loved him or you many have disagreed with him. But one thing everyone acknowledges: He made an indelible impact on radio and the political scene.”
No kidding. Show of hands from every talk show host in America who will admit that they owe their career to the path forged by America s Real Anchorman, the Truth Detector, with Talent On Loan From God.
