I had an opportunity to listen to Air America once when on a trip. The stupidity of the callers was incredible. They basically wanted to turn all terrorists held in gitmo or elsewhere loose. After all, one said "McCain was released and didn't go back to bombing people. " The hosts tried to pretend the callers weren't as kooky as they were - Franken, Springer, and some others.

As I wrote, they are not afraid of this failure. AS was lying...again. Air America Appears To Lose Flagship Station Instapundit ^ \| 3/3/06 \| Brian Maloney While Air America Radio's loss of two affiliates in Phoenix and Missoula, Montana is generating news this week, the company itself probably hasn't been able to give either city a second thought. Why? In a development sure to rip the heart right out of the liberal radio network's already ailing body, it appears extremely likely their leased New York City flagship station WLIB-AM will soon abandon Air America programming. Even worse, litigation looks probable over the station's lease. While the network's last day on WLIB isn't known for certain, an internal source providing backing documentation points to the end of March. At this time, Air America parent Piquant LLC has no firm back-up plan for where in the nation's largest radio market its programming will now air. Some inside the firm are already referring to WLIB in the past tense. Without WLIB, Air America faces an immediate, crushing blow. Worth perhaps 100 small markets combined, an on-air presence in New York City is absolutely vital to the company's survival. If an immediate and suitable replacement isn't found, the consequences would be dire. What percentage of Air America's audience would disappear overnight, the Radio Equalizer can't say for sure. Could it be 40%? Fifty percent? Taking control of Inner City Broadcasting Corporation (ICBC)- owned WLIB is said to be a consortium of industry heavyweights, including former Clear Channel executive Randy Michaels and Boston-based broadcast investment firm Alta Communications, in partnership with ICBC.
