But that's Rush Limbaugh who like Howard Stern remains a bit of an entertainment phenomenon unto themselves. Buying a radio station doesn't get you their ratings.

In Los Angeles, to speak of the relevant market, Stern was reaching 277,000 listeners at any time, while his successor David Lee Roth was getting only 32,000.

So owning the media doesn't automatically deliver listeners.
