Who owns excellence in broadcasting




















Realizing there was a real void for non-political, accurate, patriotic American history, Limbaugh and his wife Kathryn co-wrote four 1 New York Times Bestselling time-travel adventures geared toward 8 to year-olds. The Adventures of Rush Revere Series uses the magic of time travel to take the reader back in time to experience key events and meet Exceptional Americans, such as Ben Franklin and George Washington.

Students, teachers, and parents worldwide, from all backgrounds, ages, and demographics, send in thousands of emails and photos praising the series and how their children have a newfound love for American history and reading. The books have received five stars across the board in many mainstream reviews and are approved on the Accelerated Reader List. Legal Form Limited Liability Company.

Sexton came in at No. Of the two men, Travis, 42, seems most likely to say things to provoke national outrage, as Limbaugh did in years past. Sexton, 39, already had a three-hour show with Premiere that aired on more than stations.

He once worked for TheBlaze. On Friday, the new show had just followers on Facebook, about 4, on Twitter. Those are the initials of his beloved wife, Patricia. It's been a long time since I've explained how this program began and how it made it, and there are many new people listening here who have not heard the story. For those of you who have, that's why I'm asking and begging your indulgence, and I must pay tribute to Ed. Ed didn't intend any of this; don't misunderstand. He was one of us.

But we were running a business. We were not engaging in politics when we started this program. But it wouldn't have happened without him, in more ways than one. And I would just like to tell you a little bit about him and how all this happened so that you who haven't heard can understand it, because to me, of course, it's a big thing.

I was driving to play golf Saturday morning -- in fact, played golf with Ron DeSantis, congressman from Florida, who is running for governor, and this happens to me sometimes. I'm on the way up there and the route to this particular place takes you through, shall we say, less-than-affluent places. And each time I notice it, but today, Saturday, it really hit me how damn lucky I am and have been. I try to never, ever forget it. I'm not being falsely humble here by saying "lucky.

We do. But there's this sometimes intangible characteristic of good fortune or luck. Some people can't deal with it. They have success fear. They think it's undeserved and therefore they sabotage their own success.

Fortunately, I've never been that, but I understand it. You look around and think, "My gosh, I'm not special. I don't deserve any of this. There are people that do that. I've never had that problem, but I also am constantly aware of just how lucky I have been. And that's why I never forget it. And any time it's relevant, I give as much thanks to all of you in this audience as I can, because you are as much responsible for what happens here, the success of it, as anybody.

Without you, it's an academic exercise and doesn't exist. But without Ed McLaughlin, it doesn't, either. He was born in He built it into a decades-long era of leadership, being No. He staffed it with the best on-air talent that he could find.

There were many networks, and he was the head honcho of all of them. He was at ABC in its heyday, in its period of greatest accomplishment and achievement. He was right there making that a reality on the radio side for ABC. This emerge resulted in many of the ABC executives being, quote-unquote, "retired" so that Capital City executives could assume their positions 'cause Cap Cities was the purchasing entity.

Ed McLaughlin, as his retirement package, was given whatever compensation but more importantly he was given two hours of satellite time from 12 noon to 2 Eastern. Now, he was already syndicating Dr. Dean Edell. But he was given two additional hours as part of his retirement package, and he was free to do with those two hours whatever he wanted to do.

The time he assumed control of those two hours they were running a show. I forget who the host was, but they were on 56 radio stations, and the largest one was probably in a market not even in the top Daytime syndication of talk radio programming had simply not succeeded. That's why Ed took one of the biggest risks anybody ever took in radio.

You have a giant in the radio business, Ed McLaughlin, who retires from ABC, and is given two hours of satellite time to fill as he wishes. That was part of his retirement package. He could have picked anybody. He could have chosen to do anything with these two hours. He could have played music.

He could have done, you know, polka. He could have done Chinese opera. But he believed in the power of spoken-word radio. He believed it could win. Now, I mentioned the fact that I've been very lucky in life. There are any number of people Ed McLaughlin could have chosen, any number of people Ed McLaughlin could have invested in.
