In recent books, WCBM has had share numbers roughly one-half to one-third WBAL's. WCBM's numbers have mostly held steady, while WBAL's numbers have declined. WBAL said this was a factor in their decision to drop Rush and emphasize local programming. Rush replaces convicted Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy insuring the time slot will continue to be occupied by a host with a criminal record.
