KNST Pulls This Board Promoting Rush

Rush Limbaugh's affiliate in Tucson wasted no time Monday in having this Rush board pulled down by Clear Channel Outdoor.

According to co-owned Premiere Radio Networks, KNST had been using the board to promote Limbaugh's nationally syndicate show. 

According to Rachel Nelson PR manager of Premiere,  "This particular ad -- which uses the common expression “straight shooter” to describe Mr. Limbaugh’s candid and direct style -- was designed and contracted by the local station’s promotion department. In the wake of the tragic events that have unfolded in Tucson, the station elected to take down this ad on Monday, January 10 – believing that discussion of its interpretation would not contribute to the desire for healing in the Tucson community."
