Radio industry convulsing: more Clear Channel layoffs; Cumulus sharpens axe; more Limbaugh damage

"Sometimes the biggest threat an industry can face
is from within." —Sean Hannity, referring to the
advertising backlash against Limbaugh.

"The radio industry today is filled with too many
sharks and dinosaurs." —General Manager of KVON,
after announcing his resignation.

Most astonishing radio industry secret that you are not allowed to know:
MSNBC now indexes higher than Fox News Channel with Talk Radio listeners.

Breaking intrigue: conservative talk radio host, a former Rush Limbaugh producer, uses a ploy to try to interview Sandra Fluke in spite of her stance against such interviews. The blogger who uncovered this wonders, "when was the last time you heard of talk show hosts using competitive bidding to win time with their guests?" And adopting the tactics of a James O'Keefe associate, oh my!

Liz tweets: @OsborneInk This story just makes me want to shower. With bleach. Also glad it wasn't an hour in PERSON with Sandra Fluke. @Talk2Rusty

More Rush, radio industry, and salacious conservative talk radio scheming at the link.
