Well, it seems that Cumulus Radio is dropping both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity like spit off a tall building.

The right is spinning it as contract negotiation problems and not that Rush and Sean are getting on everybody’s nerves.  That’s kinda true, but the contract negotiations include the fact that Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey reported “a $2.4 million first-quarter decline in revenue related to talk programming, which he attributed, indirectly, to Limbaugh’s remarks about [Sandra] Fluke.”

Here’s the deal.  When you lean on advertisers and they feel the pinch and withdraw their advertising, that means Cumulus loses money with advertisers withdrawing.  They try to find out what’s causing them to lose money and they hack it off.  In this case, it was Rush Limbaugh.

So the sweet irony of it all is that Rush Limbaugh got killed by free enterprise.

That is very cool.
