Great story from the Washington Examiner:
WMAL, home to Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, takes No. 1 in liberal DC market
The liberal Washington area has a new king of radio: conservative talk radio station WMAL, home to Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Larry O'Connor, and other popular voices.
For the first time in 34 years, the Cumulus Media station held the top spot in the ratings, taking down the other kings of the D.C. airwaves, WAMU and WTOP.
Mark Levin told Secrets that the long-coming ratings win was due to a “tremendous combination of national and local hosts, compelling and consistent format from early morning to late at night, outstanding and knowledgeable station management led by [Cumulus News/talk Vice President and Program Director] Bill Hess, and most of all, deep respect for the intelligence and interests of our wonderful audience!”
And looking at the numbers, they were not that far behind, gaining steadily and they blew past the other stations in April with a significant margin. The people are tired of the liberal narrative - they see that it does not track reality and are looking for alternatives.
