 Rush's problems aren't due to boycotts or even signal

 out of any attractive demographic. 
 
 Limbaugh is done, much like Mr. Carr who had to eat his
 words because there
 just isn't much of a market for his routine any longer.

Is there room for ANY "routines" anymore on AM radio?

It's not just Howie, Rush or anyone in particular...it's AM radio in general.  

Remember, WRKO fliiped into THE Talk Station over 30 years ago, and it was an already a format for older demos.

Add 33 years...and there are few desirable demos as Karen stated, and there is no one, no "acts", no routines, that seem to get traction anymore.

When was the last sucessful launch on AM radio?

Last one I remember is when Sportsradio hit the AM dial all over America.  

Can't think of anything since then....and the AM talk format is starting to sunset...and taking with it, those that rode the crest.
