Conservative political commentator Rush Limbaugh struck a mighty rich renewal deal with Clear Channel!
The radio giants are paying the Right’s top media man $400 million to host his conservative talk show ’til 2016.
Limbaugh reaches an audience of nearly 20 million listeners. His program is syndicated on about 600 radio stations nationwide.
In a recent magazine interview, Limbaugh shows off his biz acumen. He says, “First and foremost I’m a businessman. My first goal is to attract the largest possible audience so I can charge confiscatory ad rates. I happen to have great entertainment skills, but that enables me to sell airtime.”
So he just riles people up for the money?
Looks like it’s working!
