http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/08/limbaugh-broadcasts-dead-air-during-commercial-breaks/The exodus of advertisers fleeing from Rush Limbaugh may finally be taking a toll on his radio show.
Liberal watchdog group Media Matters noticed that on at least two occasions on Thursday, Limbaughs flagship station in New York, WABC, broadcast several minutes of dead air during commercial breaks.

Birds, bats, flying insects drop dead from the sky.

(28,498 posts)9. I wondered about this
Does his contract require a certain number of minutes per hour for the pathetic s.o.b. to rant? So if there are no advertisers, there will be dead air as he refuses to "work" longer than the required minutes?
Makes one wonder...

That about sums it up.

I've downloaded the first bit, if you listen carefully one can hear the sound of no money pouring in, and softly, in the ever growing distant background, the whimper of a fat spoiled prick.
