The American broadcast industry is rocked, realigned and blasted into a new orbit, yet again, by Rush Limbaugh, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

In what is being described as an unprecedented radio contract, Limbaugh will keep his syndicated show on-the-air and e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e through 2016 with CLEAR CHANNEL and PREMIERE RADIO.

Already host of the most lucrative hours since radio's inception, Limbaugh's total package is valued north of $400 million, according to media insiders.

The NEW YORK TIMES will claim this weekend that Limbaugh, marking 20 years this summer as a national host, has secured a 9-figure signing bonus for the new deal, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.

In its controversial profile, the TIMES reports that Limbaugh is buying a new G550 jet and is making an estimated $38 million a year.

Yes, clearly Talk Radio is dead......

Now he will have plenty of money to defend against the anti free speech assault coming soon, the "Fairness Doctrine". I am thrilled for "elRushbo", and know full well this validates to me, that conservatism is not dead, but very much alive.

McLame should take notice. It is is we the conservative (evangelical, and fiscal) that support his advertisers to the degree that has made Clear Channels, and Premiere Radio hugely wealthy to afford to pay Rush this sum. Somehow this will elude him as expected.

This is free market forces on display that show the Americans get what they want.

Go Rush.

Good for him. Maybe I'll start listening to him here and there.

Last time I heard him, Rush Limbaugh was much more listenable than he was two years ago. Conversely, Randi Rhodes was more listenable two years ago than today.

Political shock jocks have something to say until the pendulum drops power into their laps. Then it's like they don't know what to do with it, and they become unbearably irritating propagandists.

Like Rhodes, Limbaugh's sharp, but it use to be I couldn't stand him. His crowd and the Rhodes crowd have traded places among the unlistenable untouchables.

II stopped listening to him when he saw fucking high on Oxy cotton (or what ever it is called) he lost is hearing and it was irratting to me to hear him. I thought he was dead years ago. But if some one is willing to pay more power to them.

Rush? Does anyone really care? Nope.....

Don't kid yourself. The libs really care, and it eats at them. They can't touch him, and this is why they want to attempt the "fairness Doctrine". And if you were an honest person you'd admit you care.
