Bloomberg:

Big Brothers Big Sisters of America is working with the [Ad] council to pull its spots from stations that carry the Limbaugh show, Jill Godsey, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia-based organization, said in an e-mail.

“We made this decision at the request of national and local donors, some of whom made their concerns known via Facebook and Twitter posts,” Godsey said.
