Limbaugh syndicator to continue airing archival footage, guest hosts
By John Bowden - 03/23/21 02:56 PM EDT
Rush Limbaugh's syndicated radio talk show will go on with a series of guest hosts airing archived episodes following the conservative host's death earlier this year.
Premiere Radio Networks told USA Today on Tuesday that it would continue a practice that began during Limbaugh's absences for cancer treatments, in which guest hosts introduce listeners to various clips of Limbaugh opining on the issues of the day.
“No one can replace Rush Limbaugh, and Premiere Networks will continue to provide millions of loyal listeners with the voice of Rush for the long term,†said a spokeswoman.
The show has reportedly seen little change in audience size following Limbaugh's death in February, with many loyal listeners eager to hear the conservative icon's views, even if new content was no longer available.
