Seattle Radio Ratings For Spring 2007, Rush Limbaugh

NUMERO UNO

El Rushbo Again Leads Seattle Talk Ratings







In a city known for extreme- left politics, including blind support for Saddam loyalist Rep "Baghdad" Jim McDermott (D-WA) and batty Senator Patty Murray, Rush Limbaugh has again clobbered every talk host and news program in Seattle between the key hours of 5am to midnight.

Given the highly- competitive nature of the Puget Sound talk radio scene, coming out on top is no easy feat. There are four major stations running talk programming, in addition to one all- news outlet that carries Seattle Mariners games.

But for at least the second time in the last year, El Rushbo has beaten the entire group, with a 4.1 share among listeners between 25 and 54. That figure represents a 32% increase over the last ratings book.

Now heard on Bonneville's KTTH- AM, his move from KVI- AM a few years ago has virtually wiped that station off the map, with the latter turning in yet another weak performance.

Rush's primary timeslot competitors are fading libtalker Dave Ross, (who turned in a 3.5 share) and a left- right tag team at KVI known as "The Commentators", which pulled a 1.2, down 45%.

  • I never said it was up... simply adding the 2 lib talk shows mentioned in Maloney's post, both of those 2 shows combined have a slightly higher number than Rush.

  • MOP has an interesting spin on counting audience numbers. Just keep adding up multiple radio station numbers until the grand total is larger than Rush.

    Sorry, that method of calculating audience numbers belongs to the math-impaired left. It does not reflect reality.

    Whooooopssssssssss!

  • Benson,
    it's simple
    Brian was boasting how Rush is so popular in a liberal city, yet the 2 liberal talk shows he listed, havbe a slightly larger audience than Rush (when you combine them)

    Go ahead Benson, add up the 2 shows Brian refrenced in this article...

    wooopppps!! The liberal shows combined have a higher audience.

    The point, the librals are split between 2 shows and Brian is brown nosing to the pig man. Why do you freaks lick this idiots asshole anyway? He is an embarassment to conservatives.......

    Hearing Rush when I was 17 for a month straight, turned me into a LIBERAL, forever! Why would you want a guy that turns people off to your party to represent you? I do not get it.

    Keep licking his smelly asshole, he would walk right by you on his way to the bank..... He shows contempt for his listeners, all the time

    OK, let's use MOP's idiotic math skills (courtesy of Brooklyn College) and his amazing total audience calculation system to disprove him once again.

    The total audience numbers of the two liberal radio stations are far less than the total audience numbers for the Rush, Hannity, Beck and O'Reilly radio shows.

    Oooh! I can hear him now. It's just not fair to compare 4 stations to 2 stations.

    Well... two can play your dumb-ass number game MOPPY!

  • The commentators is a mix. Not a Lib Talk show. A mix. John Carlson is as conservative as you can get, and Ken Schram is as liberal as one can be while staying sane.

    From Blatherwatch, which is not republican-friendly:

    ~ Liberal talk KPTK is tanking across the board- down 66% overall.

    MOP, your spin failed. Not to mention that KIRO is now starting to move center-right since it is now owned by Bonneville Communications.

    Another reason for me to like Rush. You were obviously a time bomb waiting to explode. He did the conservative movement a favor.

  • MOP,

    So you read this:

    Rush's primary timeslot competitors are fading libtalker Dave Ross, (who turned in a 3.5 share) and a left- right tag team at KVI known as "The Commentators", which pulled a 1.2, down 45%

    and consider a "left-right tag team" as "liberal"?

  • MOP,

    Then we also get to add in Dennis Prager over at KKOL to the Right side of the equation...

    Face it, Liberal Talk is dying, even in Seattle. Conservative talk is still going fairly well. Denying the fact makes as much sense as denying that the sun rises in the East...
