Limbaugh advertiser backlash DIRECTLY responsible for radio industry downturn: –radio network execRush Limbaugh once likened an advertiser boycott to "losing a couple of french fries in the container when it’s delivered to you in the drive thru. You don’t even notice it."
The radio networks might choose to disagree. Financially distressed radio corporation Dial Global "started to experience the slow down the day after" Limbaugh attacked law student Sandra Fluke.

OTOH, I was picking up my nephew at his high school the other day, and spent the time waiting for him to emerge by scanning the AM frequencies on my car's radio. Between the right-wing talk stations, the country music stations, the classic rock stations (I like these), several Spanish-language stations, and the Christian stations, I did discover one station of interest. It was playing, of all things, polka music, much of it from old-time polka bands from the 1940s-50s. I added it to my presets, and it was playing when the 15-year-old nephew got in the car.
"What the hell is that music?" he inquired after fastening his seat belt.
I replied, "It is the music of your ancestors."
He returned to his usual taciturn grunting. I left the radio tuned to the Polka station. Perhaps I'll push that preset daily when picking him up from school.
