Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh’s appearances on Fox News programs have significantly increased in 2019 compared to past years. Media Matters analyzed Nexis transcripts from January 1, 2013, to August 1, 2019, and found a dramatic increase: While he rarely appeared on the network in prior years, this year Limbaugh has made eight appearances on various Fox news and opinion shows, including a scheduled August 1 appearance on Sean Hannity’s show. By contrast, Limbaugh appeared on Fox a total of three times in all of 2018 and only two times in 2017, including one interview with Hannity that aired over two nights.
