Yup has been posted but that’s ok
In a 2005 interview with the Boston Globe Jon Sinton of Air America predicted ‘in five yrs we’ll be on 600 stations’.
No, in five yrs they are gone.
Sweet: They had been on Clear Channel’s AM 1200 in Boston for 2 yrs but switched to Spanish. Someone had to buy time to put prog talk on in Boston (it’s on, but no ratings). As for AM
1200 the power increase/tower move they’d waited for back then finally happened, and by April talk will be back:
BECK...RUSH...HANNITY...
CC realizes they need to make money. Sorry libtalk fans

You always do things the hard way. I hear that Voice of America has not advanced pro-American views on foreign shores for some time. Might as well add the Air Americants to the staff of VOA.

“It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.”

Since the Dems no longer benefit from Frankens 60th vote, maybe they could take him snipe hunting or sumthin and just leave him in the woods somewhere.
I’ve little doubt he’s despised by the elites in the Senate beyond his dutiful votes.

"The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business. This past year has seen a `perfect storm' in the media industry generally," the company said in a statement on its Web site.Yeah, right, that's why Limbaugh, Hannity, Tom Sullivan, Laura Ingram, and all of Fox are closing. Oh, wait. . . .

Sorry, the tears just won’t come. They should have listened to the dogs a long time ago...if they don’t eat it, they don’t like it.

I’ve always wondered that. If America was so “progressive, liberal”, etc., then why are so many talk show hosts conservative?
They failed in the radio marketplace of ideas.
I don’t know if anybody agrees 100% with Rush, Hannity, etc. , but they take liberal callers and talk about issues in depth.
The few times I heard Air America, they screeched about Bush “WORST — PRESIDENT — EVER” and were spouting bumper sticker slogans like that. I think Air America had a lack of intellectual depth to their programs and hosts. They didn’t discuss the issues in a good way. It was mostly bumper sticker pablum.

If you look up that tail number, it was a four person fatality. Very Very sad.

I listened to Air America just once. Some caller dialed in and said he wished someone would frag George Bush (then president) with a white phosphorus grenade such that he would die a slow and painful death. The host of the show laughed heartily (the caller was not kidding) and went to the next caller. It was the sickest thing I ever heard on the radio, and the host was supportive.
