YOUNGSTOWN — Robert C. Roach, president of Youngstown-based PageOne Advertising, LLC, today sent a letter to all agency clients explaining his decision to no longer purchase or place advertisements on behalf of clients to air during The Rush Limbaugh Show, which airs locally on 570 WKBN-AM.

PageOne represents clients in the Cleveland, Akron/Canton, Youngstown/Warren, and Pittsburgh media markets.

In a letter to agency clients, Roach said “No woman, including Ms. [Sandra] Fluke, should ever be subject to the type of insults and vitriol broadcast during 'The Rush Limbaugh Show' last week, and no individual or business should wish to be associated with this type of irresponsible behavior.”

It is not known the value of PageOne ads that are heard on Limbaugh’s show. Roach was not immediately available for comment.

5. Does anyone have an accurate list of advertisers who have not dropped him yet?

I know I could try to listen and write down the names of the advertisers I hear, but listening to that blowhard is just too painful.

10. Very good news for this WKBN listener.

I will not listen between noon and 3, and rarely can get through 9 AM to noon, but this is great. The morning host and the after Rush host are both liberals, and I love having them to listen to!

Now, more pressure on Rush and this station. We are trying to get the station to drop Rush altogether, and this can really help.
