Yes, Jeff Christie is Rush Limbaugh
!

 |
| Jeff Christie was at KQV
twice in the early seventies. Jeff originally came to Pittsburgh to work
at WIXZ. He came to KQV to do nights in 1972. A number of the phrases
we still hear on his Rush Limbaugh show today on more than 600 stations
"all across the fruited plain" were heard when he was on KQV. You can hear
a sample of Jeff's work during the 14K days at the Reel
Top 40 Radio Archives. He returned for a short time during KQV's final
days of top 40 filling in middays before moving on to Kansas City. Rush
Limbaugh's EIB network came from a term he used here in Pittsburgh in the
early seventies. EIB = Excellence In Broadcasting |

Before making it to the big
time behind the golden EIB microphone, Rush Limbaugh worked in Pittsburgh.
As Jeff Christie, Rush was first at WIXZ 1360, then in 1972 joining KQV
when Jim Quinn left for Buffalo. Today Rush is on more than 600 radio stations.
Thanks to Dee and
Craig Kirschner for the WIXZ studio pidture.
