It seems that all is well for Rush. I'm listening to his show even as I type and I can attest to the fact that ads are as prolific as ever. Some are sponsors I am unfamiliar with, so they must be new. Don Imus was actually booted after his "nappy headed 'hoes" coment, but 7 months later was back full force. Why? Because his sponsors wouldn't place ads with anyone else.
I don't know what you heard. Judging by the time, you must have only heard the first commercial break. Looks like it was all promos for the station's own programs. The rest of the day wasn't much different. I only see three outside paid commercials. Two appear to be for local car dealers.

Advertisers with links on their names have already stated that they have asked to have their ads excluded from Limbaugh's show.
