In a major shakeup for the radio industry, Cumulus Media, the second-biggest broadcaster in the country, is planning to drop both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from its stations at the end of the year, an industry source told POLITICO on Sunday. Cumulus has decided that it will not renew its contracts with either host, the source said, a move that would remove the two most highly rated conservative talk personalities from more than 40 Cumulus channels in major markets. The decision comes after negotiations between Cumulus and Premiere Networks, the division of Clear Channel that distributes Limbaugh and Hannity's shows, broke down due to disagreements over the cost of the distribution rights, the source said. Cumulus is known to drive a hard bargain on costs, and Clear Channel is known to seek top dollar for big names. As industry insiders caution, Cumulus and Clear Channel have come to the brink before during contract negotiations only to resume talks. But the source told POLITICO that Clear Channel was unlikely to reduce the cost for distribution rights to a level that would satisfy Cumulus. Cumulus declined to comment for this story: "Cumulus is not in a position to comment about negotiations with talent under contract, no matter what the rumor of the day might be," a spokesperson told POLITICO. But in recent weeks, Cumulus has been quietly reaching out to radio talent agents and political insiders about new local and regional station hosts to fill some of the airtime that will be left vacant by Limbaugh and Hannity, industry sources said. Cumulus is also expected to move some of its existing talent -- which includes Mike Huckabee, Mark Levin, and Michael Savage -- into one of the slots. Premiere, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sunday night, is expected to carry Limbaugh and Hannity on stations in many of the markets where they are currently signed with Cumulus, should the negotiations not go through. A spokesperson for Limbaugh was not immediately available for comment; Hannity did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Back in May, a source close to Limbaugh told POLITICO that the host was considering ending his affiliation agreement with Cumulus because CEO Lew Dickey was blaming the company's advertising losses on Limbaugh's controversial remarks about Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student. On an earnings call two days later, Dickey reported a $2.4 million first-quarter decline in revenue related to talk programming, which he attributed, indirectly, to Limbaugh's remarks about Fluke. Dickey is expected to hold another earnings call this week, though it is unclear if he will address the contract negotiations.

I think Rush, Lord Haw Haw, Limpaw, and Sean Vannity should be dropped as well - on a Bungee Jump from a high bridge tied to each other - with a Bungee Cord 6 feet too long.
"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha No mention of Jones ??? It appears that Levin gave up the bagels and lox. He has been outing rinos and getting pretty loud about it. I don't care for anyone that supports the State of Israel and associated genocide. (All of these talk mutts support Israel). Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehood’s school. And the one man who dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool. – Plato (429-347 BC)
Fantastic. It's the best thing the Zio Media could ever do.
I think you are wrong about Jones. He discusses zionist aggression without obsessing on Jews.

Jews in political power have been obsessing on the destruction of Americans and Whites for some time now. ...Recently, the Jew Mark Hetfield, president and CEO of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), said that “it’s in our strategic interest” to make Americans of European descent a minority..... http://forward.com/articles/181217/latino-jewish-caucus-backs-path-to-citizenship-for/
I couldn't agree more. He is no lickspittle Republican flack like the tag team of H & L. The dumping of their shows is long overdue, and could actually be a good thing in the long run.
Hannity can go to hell but Limbaugh sometimes make sense.

Sometimes being the operative adverb here. Or is adjective? “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Free your mind and your tail will follow. I definitely believe that Jews disproportionately affect our society in a negative way, but not all Jews are participants. There are people from every ethnicity involved in the globalist takeover. The international banksters are leading the attack against freedom using fiat fake monetary monopolies that create money out of thin air that are ultimately backed by taxpayers enslaved by the FEDERAL RESERVE. In the end, everyone that utilizes their debt based / fiat / credit system monopoly is the true enemy. Taxpayers that are willing to submit theirselves to these ghoulish-baby murdering scumbags are guilty. Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehood’s school.

There ! That's the correct answer and you knew it all of the time. Are all banksters Jews ? (Nope). Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehood’s school. And the one man who dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool. – Plato (429-347 BC)
The rothschilds are. In addition to central banks, israel and zionism are some of the tools they utilize. The bulk of those who buy advertising time on jones' program are supporters of zionism. Support for that statement can be found here. jones is a zionist cocksucker. Only the kool aid drinkers and the extremely naive will not accept that fact. Place faith in him at your own peril. Please post some information that is not correct. Thanks. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Place faith in him at your own peril. I am not naive, nor am I a rabid Jones fan. That being said I think there are some amongst us that would be critical of someone Jewish that actually served the cause of freedom. Not me. If Jews advertise with Jones to support the message against vaccines, fake wars, fake money, fake left/right paradigm, chem- trails, police state, etc., ad nauseum, then I'm all for them. [I held the same anti-ALL Jews opinion for quite awhile myself but it's inaccurate.] Jones doesn't PROMOTE ZIONISM and even occasionally reports abuses by the Israelis. No one in America has awakened more people than Alex Jones. Actually, he has probably awakened more people than all of the other so-called patriot radio hosts put together. Some people get a little pissy because he makes money at it. That shouldn't have anything to do with it in a liberty minded forum. Radio programs that obsess on Jews usually "FAIL" ... They usually have a very small audience of people that have done some research but not quite enough. Frankly, Jones exposes too much of the critical elements of the NWO agenda to be one of "them."

I think Brother Nathaniel is great. Additionally, I regularly read (and occasionally post) Henry Makow's articles here on 4um. Ever heard the term controlled opposition? OK I'll try. But allow me to preface that by stating, To the best of my discernment, unlike everything else I post here, the following is not correct. 2+2=3 : ) But allow me to preface that by stating, To the best of my discernment, unlike everything else I post here, the following is not correct. 2+2=3 Embarrassing response lacking ingenuity.

As stated previously in my response to you, jones is controlled opposition for the zionist international bankers and you are carrying water on his behalf. That's the take away message from this thread. Period. You're certainly entitled to your opinion ... but when you were asked to provide evidence that Jones promotes zionism your response just didn't add up. Lod asked you to: Please post some information that is not correct. You responded: OK I'll try. But allow me to preface that by stating, To the best of my discernment, unlike everything else I post here, the following is not correct. 2+2=3 So, we don't agree.
