Besieged by StopRush, Philly Radio Station Sells at Loss of Millions



Just over a year after adding the Rush Limbaugh Show to their lineup, a Philadelphia radio station has succumbed to relentless pressure by online activists and sold for a loss of nearly 2 million dollars.
Talk radio WWIQ launched in early 2012, shortly after Rush Limbaugh's infamous 3 day attack on Sandra Fluke. Limbaugh moved to the station from WPHT in June, 2012.

From the first day the Rush Limbaugh Show began on WWIQ, a legendary StopRush monitor stuck to it like glue, and activists reached out to advertisers to let them know their brands were being associated with racism and misogyny on the air. Advertisers immediately began to stream for the exits.
