Clear Channel Yanks Rush In New Orleans

[David Tomm]

Limbaugh is being moved to Clear Channel news-talker WRNO-FM.  WWL-AM  
also simulcasts on an FM frequency most of the time, which was an  
arrangement set up after Katrina.  However,  Rush only ran on the AM  
while local hosts were on the FM.  Premiere may have yanked Rush to  
get him on FM.
WRNO is a full market signal and fans will easily find his program.   
The same cannot be said for the situation here in Boston.  Even at  
full juice, WKOX will not have nearly as good of a signal as WRKO.  I  
can't see Premiere putting him on an inferior stick in a top 10  
market, even if it is a CC station.   Jumping ship to WTKK I could  
see happening, but not to WKOX.
