Rush Limbaugh

America's Most Popular Radio Show

Monday - Friday:  12:00 PM - 3:00 PM

As the man who fused conservatism with humor, Rush Limbaugh remains the most listened-to talk host in America. Funny, upbeat, and innovative, he changed a nation's view of the right-winged stereotype. With wit, creativity, and dazzling rhetoric, he took the art of talk show hosting to new heights.

Recognized by the country's political leaders, Rush has received the President of the United States and other top officials in his WABC (770 AM) New York based studio. He's the topic of discussion in The Oval Office and the corner drugstore. When a major political news story breaks, everyone wants to know Rush Limbaugh's take; from the print media to TV journalists, a quote from Rush Limbaugh is a major coup.

A devoted audience of millions and the media have made Rush Limbaugh an American broadcast legend whose alluring oratorical wizardry continues to captivate. When Stages Magazine asked, “Who do you trust?” readers chose Rush Limbaugh second only to Oprah Winfrey. Rush listeners are generally persons looking for information from someone they have come to know and trust on the airwaves.

Rush began his broadcast career early. It started at age 10, when he used to do “broadcasts” to his family from a walkie-talkie in his room. Years later, he dropped out of college to pursue a career as a DJ in Kansas City. Although he was not immediately successful, his passion to succeed in radio has never let him give up. Over the years he has propelled himself to where he is today: the most listened-to talk show host in America. Rush started his "professional" radio career in his hometown of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, then moved to Pittsburgh. He tired of being a "radio DJ" and left radio to work for the Kansas City Royals as director of group sales. He missed radio, and in 1983 became a political commentator for a Kansas City station, then moved to KFBK in Sacramento for his first talk show.

Today, Rush Limbaugh has taken the political world by storm. He began hosting his nationally syndicated program on August 1, 1988 with 56 stations. Currently he is carried by more than 645 radio stations and is listened to by more than 20 million people weekly. Rush talks about all the hot topics – politics, family, health, education, and global issues. He tells his listeners how he feels and – how they should feel – about these items, and they love it. Boasting that he has, “the toughest call-screeners in radio,” calls to The Rush Limbaugh Show provide sheer entertainment for his audience, whether the caller agrees with him or not. His policy is to learn the facts before he reaches conclusions and, ultimately, takes a position on an issue.
