That must be why he mentions WABC as the "flagship station" of the EIB Network on the
air.
He is a drug-addled gas-bag. He doesn't even work for Citadel (who owns
WABC), he works for Clear Channel (who owns WJNO). If he sobers up, he
may realize that Disney shed all its radio stations a couple years ago.


WABC is Limbaugh's flagship station. Steve Lare is right, for a change.

How can it be his "flagship" if he doesn't work for the owners or live in the same city?

"Broadcast stations

A flagship station is the "home" station of a broadcast network (radio or TV). It can be the station that produces the largest amount of material for the network, or the station in the parent company's home city or both. The term dates back to the mid twentieth century years of broadcasting when local stations produced programs for their networks, as remains the practice for public broadcasting's PBS and NPR."
