Rush Extended At iHeartMedia
• iHeartMedia makes it official and announces it has renewed and extended its partnership with Rush Limbaugh. Specific terms of the long-term, multi-platform agreement were not announced.
“There’s no one quite like Rush,” said Rich Bressler, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of iHeartMedia. “His ability to entertain, engage and inform millions of listeners, along with his unwavering commitment to radio, has set a standard for broadcast excellence for more than 30 years. We couldn’t be happier to extend our partnership and look forward to many years of continued growth and success.”
Limbaugh said, “Growing up, dreaming of and pondering success, I never actually envisioned it to the degree I have experienced it. And it would not have happened without a huge audience of Americans, people who make the country work; hundreds of great radio stations who took a great risk 31 years ago; and the wonderful people at iHeartMedia, who know radio almost as well as I do. Now, four more years! There is nothing I would rather do!”
The Rush Limbaugh Show, which celebrated its 31st year in national syndication in August 2019, will continue to air weekdays from noon-3pm ET on more than 650 affiliates.
