I don't understand why clear channel would want to broadcast on
shortwave. Shortwave is just a medium, and not many people have the
equipment to receive on that medium in the US. There is a reason that
shortwave is dominated by government and privately owned stations that
are subsidized by non-advertising money. The reason is small audience
and no advertisers equates to no profit.

Broadcast FM & MW and satellite FM have a much much bigger base of
listeners and clear channel will go where the advertising and
subscription money is. I have to admit that it would indeed be
humurous to have Rush Limbaugh holding forth next to bible pounders,
survivalists, denizens of the Montana forest and those who are still
sure the commies are still poised to invade the U.S. via Mexico. Rush
has a loyal group of followers now so why risk losing some by switching
to a relatively unkown medium like shortwave. It would make as much
sense to broadcast on LW.

I'm still completely confused by: "Substitute the Name "Rush
Limbaugh" for any of the Top 25 AM/FM
Talk Radio Talents. Put each of them on Three Hours a Day which
equals Eight Regular Hosts Around-the-Clock Monday thru Friday
with several other Hosts representing 'different voices' featured
during the Week-End."

Switching? who mentioned switching? Rush was on WRNO years ago because the owner
liked his program and decided to air it.

If Rush were to air the ENTIRE program (it is on AFN currently for one hour), it
would be in 'conjunction with' his current line-up of over 600 stations and not
a 'switch' to shortwave.

Some of you out there need to learn how to think things through.

Yes, I know you're 'confused', but give thinking a tryout, you might like it!

The owner of WRNO also liked to fondle Boy Scouts. What's that say
about Limbaugh's minions?

You're a 'tard. Does that necessarily mean the rest of your family are 'tards?

The key phrase is that he WAS on shortwave. One not well run station
that closed and he was periodically rebroadcast on AFN. There would be
no benefit to using shortwave shortwave - he would not gain any new
audience. And some of his broadcast advertisers might think twice
about doing business with him if he got the reputation of keeping
company with programs like "The End is Coming" and "Modern Survivalism
in the U.S." His somewhat condescending comment to the caller was more
appeasement to keep him listening.

It would be humorous to hear Rush ruminating over the
Clinton-years-now-long-gone alongside the usual talent on 5mhz.

Unless WRNO was resurrected AFN feeds are the only ones I'm aware of.

Let's rehash: You said "The key phrase is that he WAS on shortwave".

My rebuttal was "he STILL is on shortwave".

What don't you understand?

Damn, are you dense, or just off your meds today. Try and get a freaking clue,
'tard.

From the Limbaugh site is a listing of all stations carrying his
program including one WRNO for 2 hours. To the best of my knowlege
WRNO shortwave is silent. On which stations is the windy-one carried.
