>>> after a written apology over the weekend, rush limbaugh apologized again today on the radio to the young woman he verbally abused over contraceptives and insurance. but the story goes on. we hear tonight from nbc's anne thompson .
>> reporter: today, on the air, rush limbaugh said he's sorry.
>> i again sincerely apologize to ms. fluke for using those two words to describe her.
>> reporter: not once, not twice --
>> i genuinely apologize for using those words.
>> reporter: but three times in the first hour of his radio show . apologizing to sandra fluke, the georgetown law student who spoke out in favor of government-mandated contraception coverage.
>> i should not have used the language i did about sandra fluke.
>> reporter: this is what he said about fluke last week.
>> it means your a slut, right. it means you're a prostitute.
>> reporter: it followed a paper apology over the weekend, but neither stopped advertisers from abandoning the radio host . today, aol joined the growing list of companies suspending advertising on the show. aol's statement echoing what some of the others said, that mr. limbaugh's comments are not in line with our values. republicans aren't rallying around the conservative icon either.
>> the big myth about rush limbaugh is he can't deliver a pizza, let alone a vote, a lot of noise.
>> reporter: what some call noise makes limbaugh a lot of money. he's paid more than $56 million a year. premier in a statement today said it respects limbaugh's right to express his opinions but adds, he did the right thing by apologizing. on "the view" today, fluke dismissed limbaugh's apology on his website.
>> i don't think that a statement like this issued saying that his choice of words was not the best changes anything.
>> reporter: an apology he says is heartfelt, she says is the result of pressure from sponsors. anne thompson , nbc news, new
