She hasn’t, especially at stations like WYRD in Greenville which as a station has collapsed in listenership. Last I did see was Loesch was a quote a bit behind in third place in the 12-3 slot.

I know Audacy doesn’t seem to want to carry it as a whole, but in WYRD’s case (it’s my local market) I feel like Travis and Sexton would have done the best for them in that slot. Not that I would listen or they’d do great, but a better fit than Loesch.
I listen sometimes on IH app. I wish they would drop the "My City was Gone" (AKA, Rush's theme) opening
Agree! "Rush is Gone" - time to move on.
That said, I don't think anything will help Travis and Sexton. That's just one dull show.
Agree on My City Was Gone.
I know news talkers had to do something to fill the Rush void somewhat quickly, but you’re not going to find a Rush-level program anywhere to replace it with. 12-3 outside of larger markets that can support it is going to become a dead zone, just like late mornings and after PM drive on news talkers. There may be people listening, but they’re more outside the demo than drive times most likely. There isn’t going to be a dominant program middays like there is in afternoons with Hannity and evenings with Levin.
Travis and Sexton, Bongino, and Loesch are weak. Loesch is probably the best, but I don’t see her show being a smash from 12-3pm. A lot of the Rush audience is just gone forever.

Or they could, you know, try some other form of talk than conservative politics. I know, radical idea.
One of the topics I was researching earlier this week led me to the debut of "nice guy" talk show host Henry Boggan on WBT, which is now one of the former Rush stations.
There's no iHeart News-Talker in that market?
Dana Loesch won't be a smash hit simply because she has so few major affiliates. Although I can't confirm that because there doesn't even seem to be a web site with a station finder.

Interesting that some of the Audacy stations don't run her in the noon slot. WPHT Philadelphia and WBEN Buffalo run her at night.
Both stations have local hosts in the mid-day slot.
So does WTIC Hartford.
