Rush Limbaugh Dead at 70. Talk radio legend
Rush Limbaugh passed away Wednesday (2/17) at his home in Florida at the age of 70 after a battle with lung cancer. First diagnosed in February of 2020, Limbaugh told his national radio audience in October that his cancer was terminal. Limbaugh’s impact on not only the issues-oriented talk radio business but on media in general was profound. At the height of its popularity, The Rush Limbaugh Show laid claim to 20 million weekly listeners according to longtime syndicator
Premiere Networks. His influence on other forms of conservative media – especially cable news/talk television – can’t be underestimated. Greater than any other single talent, Limbaugh was widely credited for not only reinvigorating the politically geared talk show, but also for prolonging AM radio’s very existence. The aggregate amount of revenue he generated for operators of AM facilities carrying his daily talk show is nothing short of astonishing

Scott Ruffin was trying to make
Amazon.com Inc. a shipping powerhouse. He spent five years building out home-delivery operations for the e-commerce giant, reducing its dependence on services such as
FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc. Now Ruffin wants to do it on his own. Introduced in stealth mode in September with $5 million in seed funding, his startup Pandion aims to help major retailers offer affordable one- and two-day deliveries and compete with his former employer.
The shipping business is hot right now, but it’s also a mess. FedEx and UPS responded to increased demand during the pandemic by raising rates.
