One of my clients runs a news/talk with no other station in a 70 mile radius carrying Limbaugh. He was asking me how much I thought it would cost to air the show and who to call about it. Does anyone on here have an idea on what it costs to carry the show?

It costs the station it’s reputation!
...at least to any listener with a functioning brain...
Just more sour grapes at Limbaugh's success.
Sounds like you're right.
...sounds like you fools don't even know what "sour grapes" means. Limbaugh has made a career out of it...

I guess if you say that again, it will be solid truth, just because it's on the internet in two places!
Realistically, you are coming across as far more bitter than insightful.
Is it a "screed" if the author can only manage to blurt out a phrase before he's out of ideas? I wonder...

Maybe you could describe what about Rush would cost a station their reputation [despite the fact that many stations are successful with him on, some even have branded their stations with his name] instead of wildly flailing about with sparks directed at other people? "Functioning brain?" "Fools?" Come on man. Are we juveniles? Why the names? Should we all identify that much with the dislike of someone on the radio that it would lead us to transfer that dislike to other people? I guess Rush really does have the power that a lot of people say he has? You're feeling it, without realizing it.

I'm inferring you are in the "functioning brain" segment of the population, since that's the implication of how you demarcated your territory. What's so bad about Rush, or what does he do that's any different from what other successful talk show hosts do? Us "fools" want to know some insight, but we're a tough lot: it will take more than "he's bad bad bad and people who listen to him are fools" to convince us.
