Talk Radio
Up until last week the biggest difference in format between the "Rush Limbaugh Show" and the "Savage Nation Show" was the number of phone calls taken. Rush takes "none" though he leads you to believe he talks many. Mike Savage is basically only a call-in radio show, completely different from Rush.
Last week we learned that Mike Savage, having moved to early afternoon, following Rush, taking Sean Hannity's former spot, is killing Rush in the ratings. Again, "Savage Nation" is killing Rush in ratings.
This past week I've noted a huge format change in the "Rush Limbaugh Show." He is now taking lots and lots of calls, and taking them earlier in his show.
