Update, Clarification and Correction: August 8, 2013

I wrote last week that Cumulus Radio was dumping Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from its stations.  Those early reports turned out to be premature (i.e., dead wrong); no final decision has apparently been made been made about either show, yet, but the chances of Cumulus dropping them are excellent.

I also said that Limbaugh was still going to be on the air due to a syndication contract. That contract began in in 1988 with EFM Media Management , a company that, through an acquisition and a merger, is now part of Clear Channel Communications.  And, whatever happens with Cumulus, his syndication contract with Clear Channel  actually expires in 2016, not 2017 as previously stated.

Unlike Rush, I regret my errors.
