Limbaugh has faded into irrelevance and is now in the same category as those 2 am radio talk show hosts who take calls from listeners about alien sightings. That is not to say he still doesn't have some worshippers. I have a couple of friends who think that everything Limbaugh says is holy writ.
Rush who???? LOL. Even my husband, once a fan, walked away years ago.
"Oldies"...I hoped the thread was about old movies or golden oldies tunes, topics of which I can weigh in on until doomsday. Alas...
Rush Limbaugh leads all radio shows in the United States with 15.5 million viewers. That's who.

Boilerman Libs do not look at the numbers, just what they believe to be true.
Hell, at one time I thought I had two husbands, my own and Rush Limbaugh. I guess the bloviation got to be too much. I didn't even notice when our household became strangely peaceful, and some other conservative(s) took Rush's place on the car radio. Thankfully now we've moved on--country or 70s rock music fills the air instead of hate vs hate.
Yeah, Rush still does well with the 60+ male crowd, but he certainly isn't pulling in any younger conservatives. Eventually, all the old ones will die off. The younger conservatives don't listen to Rush because he is too tame for them. They hang out at 4chan, 8chan or some other online cesspool. If they listen to conservative talk, it is on YouTube, not the radio.
Mainstream advertisers don't want anything to do with conservative talk anymore regardless if it is on the radio or cable TV. It seems companies don't want their brand associated with white nationalism. Rush's syndicator just emerged from bankruptcy, Glenn Beck's media empire is largely gone, Bill O'Reilly has been disgraced, Alex Jones has been de-platformed, nobody knows when Tucker Carlson is going to go on his next "vacation" and Fox New's primetime lineup ends up running public service ads because they can't sell their ad inventory despite their ratings.
I'm guessing that Rush has the most or second most radio advertising revenue in the United States. If he's second, he's second to Hannity. Would any of the Libs on this site like to do the research?

How come his syndicator went broke? The 60+ market isn't a prime demographic for advertisers and as I outlined above advertisers no longer want to advertise on politically inflammatory shows. It doesn't matter how many listeners you have if the only ads you can sell are free public service messages and low rent stuff like life lock and scammy gold investments.

I am certain that you're right, that of all the people who sit, staring at their radios ("viewers"), with drool dribbling down their chins, Limbaugh has the most devotees by far.
For people who LISTEN to the radio, not so much.
