“Starting on December 12th, we’re going to be supporting video iPods with a daily one-minute video podcast of the next day’s morning update. What happens after this program each day, I record the morning update, the morning commentary that runs on our 600-plus affiliate radio stations. We’re going to Dittocam the recording of the updates and make those available free of charge, just another complimentary service to current subscribers of RushLimbaugh.com [$6.95/mo. or $49.95/yr.]. Rush 24/7 members will receive the Morning Update the afternoon it is recorded,” Rush Limbaugh announced on his radio show and in a transcript available on RushLimbaugh.com.

“Every Morning Update is going to be a video file, it will be viewable on a video iPod and certain other portable video devices — or you can watch it right from your computer. It will work just like any other QuickTime file works. So every afternoon when subscribers get the audio podcast of that day’s program, they will also get an extra file which will be the video podcast of the next day’s morning update,” Limbaugh explained. “This is an exclusive feature, an exclusive new feature of Rush 24/7 for members. It will be included as part of every subscription without any extra charge. The quality will be superb — well, the content is flawless; you don’t need to worry about the content because I’m in charge of that. Now, we’ve been testing this for the past two weeks, and I got a video iPod from my buds at CompUSA. I went out there, and I’ve been testing, looking at some of the video that we have prepared for the testing here, and it looks awesome. It’s just awesome on a video iPod.”
