Air America Sinking Further! No Surprise

2005-01-12

Hmmm... Soros should give them more money. That'd fix it, I'm sure...

'AIR AMERICA' RATINGS TURBULENCE IN NY CITY: Surprising many observers who expected it to shine during election season, all-liberal upstart WLIB (1190 AM) -- base station for Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo -- actually headed south, shedding 15% of its summer audience to finish fall at 24th place in just-released ARBITRONS...
Gee you mean people can't listen to hate radio for a long period of time? Anyone who knows anything about radio knew this was going to fail. Look for an Air America 'fire dale' soon. Afterwards they will claim they were robbed by them 'evil neocons' that hate everyone.

#11 These days I refuse to even watch comedy and talk shows that they appear on--they're simply not worth the trouble.

Good riddance!

#10 I could listen to them occasionally if they were funny or surprising, but Franken and Co commit the worst radio sin of all: they're boring. That nasal high-pitched Brooklyn bitch is the worst of the lot. No amount of cash infusions can save these losers.

#9 No wonder Al Franknbeans was donning a garbage can lid while "entertaining" the troops in Iraq.

#6 Never really listened to franken much--couldn't stand it. Listened long enough to realize he is dingy-one of the self-annoited arbiters of American values.

I wouldn't mind replacing franken with Pink Floyd music.

#2 *snicker* I wonder if ol' Al is still going without pay.

#1 Well it's lasted about 6 months longer than I had thought when they went on the air. I've tried to listen to Air America, but about 5 minutes is all I can handle at one time.
