I have been waiting ever since Rush died to see who would fill his time slot on conservative talk radio. Apparently it won’t be anyone on the EIB because they apparently intend to continue Rush’s show by having a guest host talk about something in the news and then find an old clip of Rush which they claim shows he was prescient. After more than thirty years on air you can always find something that is on the same subject but what it leaves is listeners being short changed. At least half the program is Rush’s golden oldies and not real time discourse which is all I’m interested in. Hell you could probably go back over my five years of rants and pull up something that would appear prescient on about anything going on. I predict that the format they are following will end up degrading the franchise to the point of irrelevance.

The reason for this rant is that today I saw that Dan Bongino is going to have a program on Westwood One filing the 12 to 3 time slot and I will guarantee you I will listen to it and forget about the EIB.

I am sure others will follow with programs in his old time slot that they didn’t dare invade before because of his dominance.

Hooray! The EIB has to find a suitable replacement or fall by the wayside. You can’t surf on Rush’s oldies forever. It just won’t work and they will find that out when new programs fill the void.
