For all his positive qualities, Bongino was not the host that could keep millions of listeners every week for years on end.
Cumulus will be taking a gamble. But then again, you're not going to top Limbaugh no matter what. That's why you have all the splintering: Cumulus is trying Bongino, iHeart is going with Sexton and Travis (which I think is a safer bet because both have experience in the format, though Travis is better known for sports), and Audacy is going local on most of its stations.
