SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine — WGAN-AM is sticking with “The Rush Limbaugh Show” despite a local protest over the radio show host’s harsh words for a Georgetown University law student who supports health care coverage for contraception.

Limbaugh called the student a “slut” and “prostitute” last week, but later issued an apology.

On Thursday, Annie Finch of Falmouth led about a dozen women and a couple of men into the South Portland offices of the Portland Radio Group to deliver 5,700 signatures from people demanding that the company drop Limbaugh from WGAN.

Cary Pahigian, president and general manager, tells the Portland Press Herald that some advertisers have opted out of Limbaugh’s time slot but he says there’s has no intention of pulling the show.

  1. HBO still carries Bill Maher, MSNBC still carries
    Ed Schultz, Libber radio still carries Randi Rhodes,
    TV still carries David Letterman, Congress still
    carries Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters and Barney Frank,
    so what if this station still carries Big Mouth.

  2. BDN, any curiousity about who Annie Finch is?? Or how her effort is connected to a nationwide scheme?? Any curiousity at all?? AP?? BDN?? Hello? Hello??
    Oh, well. We have Google. We don’t need you  lol
