His audience has been slipping since 2005 when it peeked at 20 million. Of course Premier Radio networks still boasts the 20 million number as if it wee fact and Lush himself places the number at above 30 million so who knows how many actual dedicated listeners he has in a weeks time.

Many who work in the radio industry suggest the actual number of dedicated listeners is closer to around 2 million (which sounds about right), since the secret patented mathematical equation used to measure the size of his audience is the same equation used in the early 60’s when AM radio dominated the airwaves.

Today you would be hard pressed to find people who fit the target audience for Lush, who can find the AM dial on their car radio, but why dwell on the facts, when there are advertisers with money to fraud!
You're leaving out internet radio, which Arbitron fails to tally. I wouldn't doubt that quite a few million log onto his website, to hear his stream.

How about some links, Buck? I can only get those kinds of numbers for Oprah if I multiply her daily by 5. What I'd like to know is the average number of listeners/watchers for a given 15 minute segment. Do you know any way to find out?

Arbitron doesn't give the numbers out, you have to buy them. That's why most of the numbers you can find come directly from the programming themselves. The numbers I gave are supposedly based on weekly listeners (5 day week).

I do not believe the numbers myself (that's why I didn't post a link) because the manner in which they achieve these numbers seems padded to me.

If you ever find a legitimate link that can provide those numbers I would like to see them myself!

Whats your source for those figures for Rush?

Um...who are these "many"? I've never heard anyone in the industry challenge Rush's numbers...nevermind provide the 2 million figure.

Are you sure you arent just pull these figures out of your asѕ?


Quote:
Oprah has a diverse audience that changes every week. Rush has the same people listening everyday.
um...how did you determine that?

Oprah has the same audience she has always had. How did you determine that it changes week to week?

The numbers you have could be completely made up for all I know, since you havnt provided any sources yet.

Here's a thought; why not wait until you find numbers that YOU believe are legitimate before posting numbers you DONT feel are legitimate and projecting them as fact?

Okay I got corrected and Oprah is something better than a radio talk show host, she is a media and national television talk show host. I looked up in my dictionary and it said that imbeciles are people who listen to Rush Limbaugh.

If you're trying to insult me, thinking that I listen to Limbaugh, then I'm happy to (once again) dissapoint you. I don't listen to Limbaugh.

Default well whatever

Well Boogie I don't make it a point to listen to Oprah all the time either. But I (*)(*)(*)(*) sure don't listen to Limbaugh on the radio while he has his xanax and oxycontin rushes. What an appropriate name for a big time drug addict, Rush.

So, Mr. RINO, if Hillary asked you to jump off a bridge, would you?

SS is right...so what? Hundreds of millions watch Survivor, so do you think everyone wants to be dropped off on a deserted island and do stupid human tricks for prizes?
Crestwood33 is obviously a democrat shill.

I'm a Republican. I occassionally listen to Limbaugh. But his opinions don't influence my opinions OR my vote. Sometimes we agree; sometimes we don't. I think you're placing too much power on one person.

A good percentage of his listeners are Liberals or Democrats...people who disagree with him on almost everything.
