Talkers Magazine has released its annual list of ‘The Heavy Hundred’ talk radio presenters in the United States, with former number one Howard Stern plummeting from top spot down to twelfth.

The top dozen are listed below.

1. Rush Limbaugh

2. Sean Hannity
3. Michael Savage
4. Dr. Laura Schlessinger

5. Ed Schultz
6. Opie & Anthony

7. Laura Ingraham
8. Mike Gallagher
9. Neal Boortz
10. Glenn Beck
11. ‘Mancow’
