Happy Anniversaries
August 1 began the 19th year of the Excellence In Broadcasting network - Rush Limbaugh. It also is the start of Dennis Prager's 25th year in radio. By coincidence, they are competitors in the 11 am - 2 pm slot, and they're both very good at what they do.
As Prager noted, you have to be interesting to make it this far in radio, and that usually requires a bit of intellect, too. TV is a different story, as shows like Jerry Springer demonstrate.
I'll go further to note Bill O'Reilly's radio show also starts at 11 am (for two hours only). That's quite a choice, between Rush (KTLK-FM), Dennis (Patriot I), and Bill (Patriot II). Poor KSTP-AM has to sit this one out.
