BREAKING: Rush Limbaugh Syndicator Suspends National Ads For Two Weeks


http://thinkprogress.org/media/2012/03/12/443195/breaking-rush-limbaugh-syndicator-suspends-national-ads-for-two-weeks/

By Judd Legum on Mar 12, 2012 at 9:24 pm

Radio-Info.com reports that Premiere Networks, which syndicates the Rush Limbaugh show, told its affiliate radio stations that they are suspending national advertising for two weeks. Rush Limbaugh is normally provided to affiliates in exchange for running several minutes of national advertisements provided by Premiere each hour. These ads are called “barter spots.” These spots are how Premiere makes its money off of Rush Limbaugh and other shows it syndicates.

But without explanation, Premiere has supended these national advertisements for two weeks. Radio-Info.com calls the move “unusual.” The development suggests that Rush Limbaugh’s incessant sexist attacks on Sandra Fluke have caused severe damage to the show.

From the memo:

Attention Traffic Managers of Premiere News/Talk Affiliates:

We are suspending the requirement to run barter spots for two weeks, March 12th and March 19th, for our News/Talk affiliates only.

Please replace/re-traffic any Premiere barter spots immediately. Contractual requirements to run barter spots are being suspended for these two weeks only. Replace them with Lifelock and Lear Financial or a local spot of your choice.

Earlier today, ThinkProgress exclusively reported that 140 advertisers, including dozens of major national corporations, had requested their ads no longer air on Rush Limbaugh. Lifelock and Lear Financial are among the only companies standing by Limbaugh.

Over the last several days much of the advertising time during the Rush Limbaugh show on his flagship station, WABC, has been filled with free public service announcements.
Update

In addition to the “barter spots,” many Limbaugh affiliates also pay a fee to run the program.

slutgate

or

broadcast bubble

Whether or not the drooling imbecile survives this ala Jimmy Swaggart, or goes down like Larry Craig in a Minneapolis Airport Bathroom.........

It is going to give alot of people some pause...regarding how and where adverts should be placed.

My vote is for "slutgate." It just has a nice ring to it. It sounds like a great place to enter an city in ancient times.

"That's the whoregate... they charge you to enter. Let's circle around to the other side... the slutgate is free."

Well the thing I DO know is that Huckabee's marketing people are working the phones hard to get him positioned as the lower cost alternative.

Any way you spin it... this thing COSTS

Last night’s “Saturday Night Live,” which featured guest host Jonah Hill and musical guest the Shins, kicked off with a skit making fun of Rush Limbaugh. The radio host has been in the news lately after a number of sponsors dropped his show after he called a female law student a “slut” and a “prostitute.” In the skit, Limbaugh gets some other sponsors to fill in, including “Sherman’s Imitation Mayonnaise–it might not be mayonnaise, but it is a bargain,” “The Syria Tourism Board,” and “Depends for Racists.” Watch the clip and some of the other segments from last night’s show.

Who's Advertising On Rush Limbaugh?

Media Matters has compiled the following list of companies advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Show as compiled from the program's WABC airing, as well as companies who have announced that they will no longer advertise on the show in the wake of his misogynistic attacks on Sandra Fluke. As many stations that carry the show air ads from local companies, this list should not be considered comprehensive.

I love this bit:

Rush is the second music group to demand that Limbaugh stop using their material without permission. They followed artist Peter Gabriel, whose music was also played during the inflammatory segment.

How about another?:

As an aside, I certainly understand CNN, but for the past couple of years at least I haven't found yahoo terribly timely
