After being dropped from Cox Media Group’s 104.5 WOKV-FM Jacksonville in favor of local host Mark Kaye, The Rush Limbaugh Show has found a new home in the market.
Chesapeake-Portsmouth Broadcasting’s Conservative Talk 600 WBOB Jacksonville/101.1 W266CX Fruit Cove added Limbaugh’s show starting today. The move sets up a potential affiliate for the eventual successor program when the time comes.
Chesapeake-Portsmouth Broadcasting Corporation’s WBOB AM 600/FM 101.1 announced today the addition of “The Rush Limbaugh Show,” effective immediately. The station now airs the program in the live noon to 3 p.m. ET timeslot.
“Rush Limbaugh is a pioneering force in broadcasting,” said Jonathan McClellan, General Manager, WBOB AM 600/FM 101.1 “He redefined talk radio and shaped the conservative political message for our country. WBOB is excited to add Rush’s program to our lineup. We value the future of his legacy, and we believe his talented team will drive the momentum of the movement far into the future. We welcome this monumental voice.”
Rush Limbaugh launched his phenomenally successful radio broadcast into national syndication on August 1, 1988, with 56 radio stations. More than 30 years later, it’s heard on more than 600 stations by millions of people each week and is the highest rated national radio talk show in America.
