To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Talkers Magazine, there’s an all-time list of the “Heaviest Hundred.” Calling him “The most important innovator in modern news/talk,” Rush Limbaugh took the top spot on the list. At #2, the talker called “the standard by which younger-demo talk is judged,” Sirius XM’s Howard Stern.
Following Limbaugh and Stern to round out the top-10, in order, is Larry King, Sean Hannity, Don Imus, Arthur Godfrey (called the “pioneer of unscripted talk radio”), Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Sally Jessy Raphael, Barry Gray (called the “father of the call-in show”) and Bruce Williams. Talkers Magazine Editor & Publisher Michael Harrison tells Radio-Info, “Rush is a part of a movement that he has influenced and defines as a whole an historic genre of radio. Stern might have been #1 for the greatest shock-jocks or DJ’s or greatest entertainers.”

It's about time Rush got the recognition he deserves,I'll bet the liberal media is fuming.All those Obummer ass kissers got their shorts and panties in wad and that is great.God Bless Rush the only one to take on Blue Lips and the Dems.
I Like Rush and wish he was head of the RNC. If it were so I believe we would stand a much better chance of getting true conservatives in both houses in November. This man tells it like it is, if it is the purple lips and blue gums muslim communist illegal alien or the total scum bags in both houses of congress.
