The Rush Limbaugh Show

In 1984 Rush Limbaugh started as a regular talk show host on AM radio station KFBK in Sacramento, California, after several years in the music radio business. His success at KFBK led him to WABC in New York City during the late 1980s. Limbaugh became syndicated on August 1, 1988 through the company Premiere Broadcasting, and his success in the radio talk show industry has grown ever since.

The political views espoused on the show have been known to help boost voter turnouts for candidates affiliated with the Republican Party, and Limbaugh's influence has been the subject of much political controversy as a result. Ranking Democrat leaders in Congress, such as former Senator Tom Daschle from South Dakota, have on occasion blamed the Rush Limbaugh show for the political climate in the United States, and some have called for a left-wing/progressive talk show on AM radio to counter Limbaugh's influence.
