Air America to 'Relaunch' With Focus on 2008

NEW YORK (AP) -- Air America today announced a high-profile lineup of presidential candidates, political players and celebrities for next week as part of the liberal talk network's "relaunch.''

Democratic candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards, along with notables like Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Gloria Steinem, are among the more than 30 guests scheduled.

New shows are also being added to the schedule, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Arianna Huffington and Bob Kerrey. The network also redesigned its Web site, where hosts will regularly blog along with a newly-hired blogger.

Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the subject of persistent presidential speculation, was scheduled to tape his interview today, facing questions from a former political foe, Mark Green.

Green, who lost to Bloomberg on his first run for City Hall in 2001, is now running Air America with his brother, Stephen Green. They took it over this year in an attempt to revive the network, which had been losing money.

Air America is broadcast on 64 stations nationwide and on XM satellite.

And the crowd ( both of their listeners ) goes wild. Since their bankruptcy bailout there have been few articles about AAR. Notice that there are no new stations announced with this "rebirth".

Ok, so it will be 24/7 campaign commercials for Democrats. Will this count as campaign contributions?

More money down the toilet.

On second thought, the more they waste on this, the better. Leaves them less money to spend on their candidates. ;-)

It’s like watching the Titanic re-ram the iceburg over and over and over again.

I am guessing they have a different business model this time, ‘cause it won’t be funded by commercials.

They must have cornered the market on bong water recyclers as advertisers.

Considering their audience must be made up of welfare cheats, I’m sure they’ll do just fine advertising back braces, tarot cards, 7-in-1 Kitchen Tools and all that other crap Jerry Springer types love.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! <-——points and laughs at pitiful suckers

I can’t believe that they are crazy enough to think that Americans want to listen to their completely unfunny, typical hate America screed. Didn’t they learn after the first dismal failure?

Arianna Huffington by herself should be able to get rid of 30% of whatever listeners they have left. Even if a person agrees with her, her voice is so annoying that people will seek out alternative programming like Culture Club marathons.

Huffington’s accent will also work against her, and them. No matter how far to the left a person might be, it strikes a chord deep when a foreigner trashes your own country. Stock tip: Don’t buy.

Once the "Fairness Doctrine" is passed, then every station that wants to legally broadcast 3 hours of Rush Limbaugh will have to broadcast 3 hours of opposing views. And the New Air America will be there waiting for the calls.
