#1 Air America also said it had new commitments of $13 million from investors.

Man, I'd like to get my hands on that sucker list. I've know of some great deals on ~~swamps~~ lake front property in FL. Wonder how long it will take, after they collect the money, to declare bankruptcy.

#2 *ghastly grinding noise*
Air America investor: What's that sound?
Air America ex-listeners: That's your money going down the garbage disposal.
AAI: Then I'll just sue the rethuglicans for their sabotage.
AAeL: Suing because the audience wasn't there?
AAI: *goes off into a long moonbat rant with all the buzzwords and very little coherence*

#3 You don't need more investors if you sell commercial time, but that requires a real listening audience to offer the advertisers. The problem they face is that radio is not print. There are far more stations than newspapers in any general area, so radio is really subject to supply and demand particulars that print is not. It's harder for radio to cooking the books on the number of listeners/readers than print.
