News Flash: Rush Limbaugh's Ratings Collapse In Major Markets......Is The Advertiser Boycott Working ?
Rush Limbaugh's ratings have dropped sharply in several major markets following the firestorm over his comments about Sandra Fluke, Politico reports.
Limbaugh called Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" for her birth control advocacy, sparking condemnation from President Obama on down and causing many advertisers to flee his show. (One major radio CEO recently admitted that the controversy had cost him millions of dollars.)
Yet, a month into the controversy, Limbaugh crowed that he was doing better than ever. "The advertisers who hung in here are going gangbusters, yes," he said, adding, "On the range of all 600 radio stations, our ratings are up anywhere from 10% to 60%, depending on the station."
On Monday, though, Politico's Dylan Byers got an early look at the latest ratings report from Arbitron:
The conservative radio host's ratings fell 27 percent in the key 25-54 demo in New York City, 31 percent in Houston-Galveston, 40 percent in Seattle-Tacoma, and 35 percent in Jacksonville, according to a selection of the March 29-April 25 Arbitron ratings provided by an industry source.
Sources told Byers that it was possible that a bubble has burst: Limbaugh saw a spike in listeners due to the controversy, and now those people have stopped tuning in. Limbaugh's ratings were also up in other markets, such as San Francisco.

Bill G53 ~PWCM~JLA 2012/05/23 15:17:29NO, The Advertiser Boycott Is NOT Working+50Turns out you liberals are wrong..... AGAIN! LOL. What a bunch of dorks you guys are.
The internet was all abuzz Tureday when the numbers were leaked but as usual you guys had to distort and spin to mischaracterize the data. After the Fluke story came out, a lot of people tuned in to Limbaugh to hear what al the fuss was about. Since then, those people left and went back to watching American Idol I guess, accounting for the decline you idiot liberals are having a wet dream about. Limbaugh's ratings are pretty much where they were before any of this came up.
In the meantime, Fluke is still considered the slut she is ....





















"Major markets" are notoriously lib and not really his audience anyway. You should look into how many people who live in the major markets who now listen to him on XM or the computer....just like Beck's audience.
he's been at this radio game for over 20 years...and every year the libs and agitators tell their followers that he is on the way to oblivion....the only thing that has happened is that MSNBC is still a ratings loser, Olbermann is fired....again, Air America went bankrupt and out of business, The Dems lost in 2010 (and will lose more in 2012)
Will he run to the ACLU for help again as he did when he was busted for his major drug habit which I understand he still has !
Yeah I think the Advertiser Boycott is working.
With Beck taken off the air, O Ranter fading into the background it was only a matter of time this lard ass female hating pervert be taken off the air and a beating in his wallet.
