Sean Hannity is now the most popular talk radio host in America, beating out the former long-time title holder Rush Limbaugh, according to a site that ranks radio hosts.

Rush not gonna be happy. He's been #1, for what? 20 years? (Also, not sure if this ratings service is definitive or not).

LOL.

No.

It's still Rush.

And all the rest owe him for paving the way.

Rush has been the king since 1989, and will always be the king...as long as Rush wants to be.

Rush is still the man. And he's able to do it and virtually never have a guest. The only reason anyone will listen to Hannity is because of his guests. Outside of that, he is perhaps the worst out there. Even with guests I've given up. He interrupts them non-stop. He's just terrible.

All of this is correct but I still defend him against leftists.

He does have on people who wouldn't get airtime anywhere else, like Sara Carter and John Solomon.

I've seen Sara on some other shows. I'd like to see her on Tucker more often. He'll let her speak. I'd really like to see Rush interview her.
Solomon will get on other shows with time. I think he was off the net recently for some health issues.

Rush interviewed Bret Baier recently for his new book.

Seemed to be some mutual admiration there.

I can't stand seeing Hannity on tv. I actually enjoy his radio show. Weird.

Hannity can’t carry Rush’s jock! SH’s only saving grace is his conservatism (which I agree with).

His delivery, his ability to go off the cuff, etc. can’t hold a candle to RL. From what I’ve heard recently the man is still reverts to material he beat into the ground during the Obama administration.

I must be missing his brilliance these days, but I heard plenty of him in the last ~10 years to know he’s pretty shitty relative to Limbaugh.

I have never heard Hannity make an original comment.

I will congratulate him for grabbing hold of the collusion delusion and not letting up on it. He brought Sara Carter and Jon Solomon to our attention.

But damn he is impossible to listen to - constant interruptions - constant recitations of the same shite - refusing to allow guest to make their points in a cohesive manner.

Stikes me as a dumbass with a loud mouth who just happens to be shouting the stuff I agree with in an extremely inarticulate manner.

eta - i doubt he is challenging Rush on talk radio - but I never listen to Hannity on radio.

I like that Hannity is a bulldog, but I can only take him in small doses. I don't like watching the same movie over and over again. I get it. I get it...

Rush is, by far, the more insightful of the two. He lets you draw your own conclusions as opposed to being force-fed.

I listen to both, but I’ve kind of tapered off from Hannity in the past couple of months. I like the guy, but even I can admit his shilling can get overwhelming.

Mark Steyn is by far the best undocumented anchor host when Rush is away

Note this is not based solely on ratings. I bet if you look at ratings, Rush is still #1. This list has a lot of subjective factors involved.

Just putting that out there.

Levin is the smartest of the bunch.

He treats his callers like shite though.

Rush is Right™ but if you aren't listening to Savage you are really missing out!

Sean Handjobbity is impossible to listen to on the radio. If you have to dainbraid to listen to him.

Levin comes from a different angle and you can learn a lot but I can take all the b*tching.

Dan Bongino is another great one.
