24 Mike Gallagher  0.5
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 being 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.

Notes:
Beyond the reach of the boycotts #1 Rush Limbaugh continues to rule supreme on the internet and on the mobile internet. Now anointed as the “Queen of Mobile,” #2 Laura Ingraham’s impressive mobile performance account for her slightly edging out Michael Savage. Savage continues to grow his online audience and seems unstoppable as he leaves the rest of the talk radio field in his wake. The Dana Show emerges for the first time gracing the top 25 list and Rusty Humphries reemerges. Sample size for this report has enormously expanded. This reflects other current studies, reveling a massive shift upwards in listening to streaming radio on mobile devices.
