Rush Limbaugh's Advertisers, March 8
March 08, 2012 2:19 pm ET by Media Matters staff
At least 50 advertisers have reportedly dropped their ads from Rush Limbaugh's radio show in the wake of his misogynistic attacks on Sandra Fluke.
Here are his March 8 advertisers, in the order they appeared on WABC, the flagship station for Limbaugh's show. Audio clips of the ads have been provided to help make advertisers aware of the placement of their ads on the program. According to our coverage:
* A total of 86 ads aired during WABC's broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show today
* 77 of those ads were public service announcements donated free of charge by the Ad Council
* Of the nine paid spots that ran, seven were from companies that have said they have taken steps to ensure their ads no longer air during the program
* WABC's online feed included about 5:33 of dead air when ads would normally have run.
Advertisers with links on their names have already stated that they have asked to have their ads excluded from Limbaugh's show.
