Who's Advertising On Rush Limbaugh?
March 05, 2012 5:14 pm ET by Media Matters staff
Media Matters has compiled the following list of companies advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Show as compiled from the program's WABC airing, as well as companies who have announced that they will no longer advertise on the show in the wake of his misogynistic attacks on Sandra Fluke. As many stations that carry the show air ads from local companies, this list should not be considered comprehensive.
AS OF TODAY, 45 ADVERTISERS HAVE CANCELED THEIR ADS RUNNING DURING THE RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOW.
