As Cumulus Media prepares to report its quarterly earnings on Tuesday, anonymous sources linked to “The Rush Limbaugh Program” have launched a pre-emptive attack on the radio station
group through stories in the New York Daily News and Politico, writes Lance Venta. Politico’s Dylan Byers reported on Sunday night that
Limbaugh is threatening to leave Cumulus stations in 36 markets at year’s end, while the Daily News’ David Hinckley focused on his possible departure from the Big Apple’s
Cumulus-owned WABC for rival WOR. Since Limbaugh’s controversial “slut” comments about Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke a year ago – and resulting advertiser boycotts
– Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey has been vocal about Limbaugh show’s performance causing revenue losses at the broadcast group. Don't blame Rush for your poor ad sales, say the sources.
