SAVAGE BEATS HANNITY ON A SAME-MARKET BASIS

Hannity's decision to cut ties with Cumulus has cost him dearly in 4 major markets and I suspect the same is true for Limbaugh.

BRAGGIN’ RIGHTS: WestwoodOne is touting early ratings success for the network’s syndicated Savage Nation since host Michael Savage moved to afternoon drive. WWOne reports that Nielsen PPM ratings for February 2014 show Savage’s numbers besting fellow syndicated host Sean Hannity in Adults 25-54 on Savage’s new Cumulus Media-owned affiliates in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Dallas. The Sean Hannity Show moved to new affiliates in all of those markets in January 2014, after opting out of negotiations with Cumulus to continue carrying his Premiere Networks syndicated show on the company’s owned-and-operated stations
