List of advertisers who have dropped Limbaugh (from mediamatters.org)

http://mediamatters.org/blog/201203050019

"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."

Their list also notes those ads still airing.

Most recent drops:

AOL

Tax Resolution Services

Heart & Body Extract

Bonobos

Sears

Allstate

Some of these may be local to the market that The Atlantic Wire is reporting. Links to the companies are in the article.

Lear Capital

Carbonite is a data backup business. On Saturday, CEO David Friend announced that his company "decided to withdraw our advertising from his show." We're giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming the order didn't make it to ad office in time for Monday's broadcast.

Polycom Federal

Snell Heating & Air Conditioning

Winning Our Future (the Newt Gingrich-backing superPAC.)

IncomeAtHome.com

Stamps.com

Goodwill

Geico "In 2004 when Rush Limbaugh’s program also carried remarks that were inappropriate, we ceased all advertising on his show. We don’t advertise there to this day. On occasion, a local station may mistakenly run a GEICO ad in the wrong time slot. We are directing our ad buyers to make sure that doesn’t happen."

Lame excuse and I told them so.

I have faithfully used your products for almost a decade. I cannot in
clear conscience support a company that helps to keep the filth that is
the Rush Limbaugh show on the air. In light of his recent misogynistic
attack on a young woman exercising her right to free speech, I am
appalled that a company that sells products largely geared toward
women, would continue to support this.

It is not acceptable to claim that you have no control over when your
advertisements air ... You clearly have a say in what you pay for. As
do I, I will gladly walk away from your products if I believe you
support cultural misogyny.

Please do the right thing.

"We take your feedback to heart and can assure you that we did not authorize the airing of our radio ads during The Rush Limbaugh Show. We have taken steps to ensure that our radio ads do not air on this program and are investigating how our company was included on the list of advertisers who were said to have aired on the show. We exist to make a positive difference in women's lives, and thank you for your understanding."
