Dial Global: Rush Limbaugh's Sandra Fluke Rants Hurt Our Radio Business

Another Radio Company Says Limbaugh Hurt Business

Another radio company has said that Rush Limbaugh's comments about Sandra Fluke wound up hurting its bottom line.

Dial Global, a radio programming company, said on Thursday that it will remove itself from the NASDAQ stock exchange — a sure sign of financial trouble. In addition, it had multimillion dollar losses in its latest quarter.

Dial listed a whole host of factors for its financial straits. But one of them was "advertisers' response to controversial statements by a certain nationally syndicated talk radio personality in March 2012."

That personality was, of course, Limbaugh, who called Fluke a "slut" for her birth control advocacy, prompting an advertiser exodus.

Other companies have cited Limbaugh as a partial reason for their weaker earnings. Cumulus, another radio company, said that his anti-Fluke rants had cost it millions of dollars.
