"What's the Rush" Radio


Well, Rush Limbaugh is moving from WPTF Radio and a country FM is going conservative talk. Just yesterday, I heard a senior gentleman say "they've ruined that station" referring to WPTF. The station is changing from "News/Talk WPTF" to "NewsRadio WPTF."
"Vee shall see," as far as how successful that will be.
News outlets tend to be slanted toward the left and if WPTF relies on them and their alliance in having two News and Observer employees running the news department, it is doubtful that it will be anything resembling fair or balanced, but will be more liberal pablum that I call the dinosaur media and Limbaugh refers to as "State-run" or "Drive by" media.
WRDU 106.1 will have Glen Beck from nine to noon, Limbaugh from noon the three and Sean Hannity from three until six.
No doubt, the new format will be beneficial to WRDU. Whether WPTF can attract the NPR, liberal listener remains to be seen. NPR is known for its anti-American, BBC, socialist programming. That's quite a tilt to the left compared to the last thirty years.
Of course, WPTF's new programming will probably have the blessing of the trinity of OPR, (Obama, Pelosi and Reid.)
Amazing I couldn't find a characature-ization of them similar to the one above of Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh. As Gomer would say, "Sur-PRIZE, sur-PRIZE, sur-PRIZE!?
