Quote HistoryQuoted:
IIRC correctly, his last radio contract through ABC (?) was 5 years at $5M a year, so that was a big deal back then. Perhaps too big of a deal? Chris Clear Channel did not want to pay the going price for Hannity and Limbaugh to stay on their stations, so both shows are moving/have moved effective January 2. In some locations the old and new stations are simulcasting the two shows for one month and in others it's was a cold turkey swap today. In most locations around the country, nothing changed. IIRC there were only about 30-40 stations affected. Here's a link to Hannity's website with a state by state map of stations carrying the show. http://www.hannity.com/stations |

I tried listening to him back in 2007 and he did nothing but toe the Republican line. He's not quite as bad about that now, but I just think he's fake and I still can't stand listening to him. He never lets anyone talk, just cuts them off and talks over them. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
He is too much of a republican party cheerleader. Although lately less so. He used to be local here before he hit the big time. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Mark Levine ( who is one of my favorites ) talks over caller also. LEt the caller speak then show where he is wrong. |

Savage believes in "reasonable restrictions" on firearms and he questions the need for high cap mags.
I heard him say that after either the Colorado theater incident or Newtown in his typical ranting manner. I have never heard Hannity say anything of the sort, he is if nothing else a vocal 2A supporter. |

I enjoyed Hannity and Colmes much more than Hannity. Hannity is better when he has a liberal opposite him on the same set and Colmes was perfect in that role as all he was able to do is read the latest liberal talking points. Unlike Colmes, Hannity can think on his feet. |

Berry may be more conservative. . . I never said that Hannity was the MOST conservative talk host. However, Berry does not reach over 13 million listeners every week on radio and millions more on television. Hannity is second only to Rush in listeners and stations. I believe Hannity is on over 500 radio stations. . . is Michael Berry on more than one? Gun owners need to remember those that support us and, in turn, support them! |

He was extremely pro 2nd, always and during that time and knew the proper terminology for all firearms related stuff. ETA: should have said "you must not have got Boortz, when he was on the air" Boortz retired one month after Newtown. At his peak, he reached less than one-fourth of Hannity's audience. Again, Hannity ain't perfect but Boortz does not - and did not - have the same reach/audience Hannity has. BTW, I have heard Hannity say clip instead of magazine. . . I forgive him!  Judging by some of his comments on radio/TV, I bet he reads Arfcom.
Reading some of Boortz's comments about the 2A leads me to believe he is strongly pro- 2nd Amendment. I applaud him for that. His pro-abortion stance, and stand on some other social issues, vary significantly from my views but I will not condemn him for that. I simply will state I appreciate his STRONG support for the 2nd Amendment. That is all I am saying about Hannity . . . he should be supported by the members of Arfcom because of his tireless support of the 2nd Amendment. We need more people/voices like Hannity on the air, not fewer. edit: botched quote tree. . . tired. . . going to bed so I get my rest and can listen to Hannity tomorrow! |
