I said it once and I’ll stand by it again. I’d really love to see something really great happen for the AM 1400 frequency in Erie. I really think JET 14 should return to it’s roots and get music back on the air. Of course, I lean torwards and Oldies format, but the music they had on JET FM would be suitable. The phrase “Retro JET” had a neat ring to it.

Jazz it up with some old jingles, some LIVE personailities, and hey, we’ve got a product that would give Rush some competition. I always thought JET Radio was too good for the likes of a Mr. Rush Limbaugh, anyways.

I’ll go on record saying that if I can’t see Rush behind the center window, then he doesn’t belong here.

You can also get Rush on 570 WKBN (Youngstown) or WTAM 1100 (Cleveland) or even down the road in Meadville on WMGW 1490. If the show is too expensive for Erie, I wonder if ‘MGW and the “Allegheny News Talk Sports Network” of stations will also drop Rush. My guess is not likely, but you never know.

In the mid 90′s, Flagship 1330 was trying hard to get Limbaugh to jump ship from WLKK. Limbaugh stayed loyal to 1400.
Loyalty to his affiliates is why he isn’t on satellite (yet) and why he doesn’t offer free streaming on his website.
Too bad his loyalty wasn’t rewarded.
It may stun some people, but I don’t believe (oh no!) the excuse offered by Connie management.
If you can’t make a profit selling the highest rated syndicated talk show in America, then you’re in the wrong line of work.
In my opinion,this decision wasn’t about profit, it was about politics.
Limbaugh won’t notice the loss of this lemonade stand of a radio station and neither will anybody else.

Mixed feelings.
I liked to listen to Rush but then I’m also a fan of Miller. I think talk radio is all going to be on satellite or internet radio anyways once the fairness doctrine is back in place. They can demand radio stations carry both view points, but they can’t make you listen to them. And I thought putting Jimmy on in the mornings with that liberal **edit** Stein- what’s his name was a bad idea. I do not listen to wjet 1400 in the morning at that time, at all.

Dennis Miller’s cutesy hip approach is just too over the top for me. I like his politics and viewpoint, but Rush is much more straightforward and enjoyable than Miller’s schtick.

I’ll be joining the rest of the blog posters down south on the AM band to stay with the loveable little fuzzball.

I’m gonna tune to 760 or 930 (depending on atmospherics) for my daily “Rush” fix! Bad move, Connie! REAL Bad, Stupid, Dumba** move!!!!!

With all due respect to David Berchtold this is the death knell for this AM station!
