Earlier this month, the 69-year-old Limbaugh renewed his contract which was set to expire later in the year, for a reported four years.

PRN did not say exactly how long Limbaugh’s new contract is but noted it is a "long-term agreement." President Trump, however, broke the news of the agreement and said it was just a four-year deal during his Miami, Florida, rally on Friday. "We have great people. Rush just signed another four-year contract," Trump said to the crowd. "He just wants four more years, okay. Rush, Sean Hannity, Laura — a lot of great people — Tucker’s been great, Fox & Friends, right?" -Washington Examiner

Limbaugh has hosted his show for 31 years.
