Levin's show has been rated number one in its time slot in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas and Washington, D.C.[1]

Some of his nicknames include: Hillary Clinton-"Hillary Rotten Clinton" or "Her Thighness", Bill Clinton-"B.J. Bill Jefferson Clinton", Barack Obama-"Barack "Milhous" Obama, Harry Reid -"Harry 'The Body' Reid", Nancy Pelosi-"Nancy 'Stretch' Pelosi", Charles Schumer-"Chuckie Schmucky Schumer", Ted Kennedy-"Cape Cod Orca", Dianne Feinstein-"Dianne Frankenfeinstein", Michael Bloomberg-"Michael Bloomturd", Keith Olbermann-"Keith Overbite", Countdown with Keith Olbermann-"Countdown to no ratings" and Michael Savage-"Weiner Nation".

Levin is supportive of the military and civilian first responders, and ends nearly every radio show saying "We salute the men and women of the armed forces, policemen, firefighters, and emergency personnel." He regularly plays the themes for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marines. He plays "America the Beautiful" as performed by Ray Charles every Friday. Levin has also participated in several benefit concerts to aid the families of fallen soldiers, and uses his show to promote them.[5][6]
Please remember one thing when you first hear Levin speak you will think he is doing a bad Joe Peshi impersonation, but after you listen for a minute he will reel you in like Limbaugh or Hannity.
