The Huffington Post is reporting that Laura Ingraham is not renewing her contract with the Talk Radio Network, and therefore will be off the air. According to the report, Ingraham announced on today’s show that she will not be renewing her contract even though she has been with TRN for nine years.
Here is my take on this: Ingraham wants more than they are willing to give her. I think that is pretty clear. Four years ago, as we have documented on this site, there were reports that Ingraham was having trouble reaching an agreement because she wanted too much money per year.
What is also pretty clear is that Ingraham’s numbers have really gone down. She barely has more listeners now than she did nine years ago. Other talk radio hosts, hosts that started with far less listeners, have outperformed her and are now beating her in ratings.
