25 Dave Ramsey 0.5

Editor’s note: Rush is #1, followed by Savage, Beck, Laura and Mark Levin moves up to fifth place. TSL listenership increased in the Fourth Quarter primarily due to the major topics discussed on talk radio: The Presidential Election, Hurricane Sandy, the Mayan end of the world, fiscal cliff and Newtown CT – the most horrific and senseless slaughter of our time. Impacting the talk radio landscape further was Michael Savage and Laura Ingraham, two top talk shows that were on hiatus while changing networks, to some degree offsetting their 4th Q ranking.
Survey Period: ( 10/01/2012 – 12/31/2012 )
Sample Size: 851,212 sessons

Only 2 days after Michael Savage wins law suit against TRN and leaves the air to shop new network the news breaks he is #1 on the Internet!

Editors' Note:
The Savage Nation has become the #1 talk show on the internet for the 3rd quarter 2012. We have watched Michael consistently grow his audience over the last several quarters. All of his numbers are way up especially via Mobile and Social Radio.
Congratulations to Michael Savage and the Savage Nation!
