I find it shocking that there isn't an audience who wants to listen to the far left, non-funny, monotone complaining of Franken!
If the Dems ever take over again, watch out for an attempt to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.
...for Air Ameriscam.

Gosh, what a victory for conservatism that liberally-minded talking heads relegated to obscure radio frequencies not owned by Clear Channel and other such broadcasting behemoths and only available in a handful of cities hasn't been able to turn profits.
I'm sure this has won hearts and minds.
Randi Rhodes and Garofalo represented such a broad spectrum of the radio-listening public! And they used only the best left-wing principles out there on how to run a start-up business! I'm befuddled as to how the venture failed. Seems like it was a can't-miss.
The Right is having similar problems keeping their "Skate Park Hip-Hop Jam Festivals" afloat.
I personally think this is a bad development precisely because of what jochhejaam said.
If the Liberals had a successful formula for broadcasting their nonsense, a return to the First Amendment breach known as the Fairness Doctrine would be less likely.
I wonder if Air Ameriscam is still taking donations.
Air America blows. Just like Ann Coulter. Who accepts this meaningless babble from either.
We need change. Congress and the House must rebuild.
It's not the death of progressive radio though.
But I do think the extreme left views cost it big time.
doesn't hurt me none either.
Doesn't hurt Progressive talk radio much either, except thanks to wing-nut-backed broadcasting bohemous, like CCC, everyone will get even less variety of opinion on local talk-radio. I still think that the Stephanie Miller show is one of the most informative and entertaining 3-hours of Progressive, or any type of political talk-radio for that matter, on the air, but CCC won't broadcaster her, no matter the ratings and cash she would bring in for local stations. Kinda blows the 'broadcasters are only worried about profits' argument to justify 24-7 wing-nut radio out of the water.
If there were a huge pent-up demand for progressive talk radio, Air America would have succeeded.
Wishful thinking does not deliver a good return on investment.
Stephanie who?
Seriously, if it brought in revenue, they'd broadcast it. Even radio conglomerates have stockholders.
Hey Dan, do you know what else sells? Black Helicopter radio. Alex Jones and the silly Coast to Coast nonsense have a guaranteed block on AM radio. Why? Because people like you listen to get the truth and people like me listen to be entertained.
Liberal Air Ameriscam sucked. It was all about hating the administration. That doesn't sell.
Well, there are a variety of Progressive talk-radio shows that are quite successful, but they just don't get any play on SA talk-radio. Air America's problem is they tried to be the whole jalepeno all at once, kinda like if CCC put out it's own talk-show hosts whether they had a successful track record in radio or not. It's gotta be the other way around. The talent, like Stepahie Miller, Lionel and others gotta drive the station, and it can if Progressive Radio would get a station in SA where you didn't have to hook up your radio to your blender to get decent reception.
What are they and where do they get play?
No, Air Ameriscam's problem was that they couldn't get advertisers to buy time during their hate-a-thon and were forced into paying stations to air them.
Trust me, if it sold, it'd get air time.
The reason they don't get any play in San Antonio is because San Antonio doesn't have a lot of hard-core progressives. Austin does.
Maybe if San Antonio had a Mexican-American leftie-populist kind of host, that could get play.
Everywhere else but bum- Texas.What are they and where do they get play?
Give me a break. San Antonio popular is almost 50% liberal. Your telling me that half the population in SA couldn't support one Progressive Radio station in SA? I call bull .
Shows like Drudge and Bill O'Lielly still pay stations to air them, so what?No, Air Ameriscam's problem was that they couldn't get advertisers to buy time during their hate-a-thon and were forced into paying stations to air them.
Not as long as CCC and Cox radio dominate local AM stations. We need more diversification, but the thugs just want to consolidate their hold even more on radio by letting conglomerates like CCC buy more stations.Trust me, if it sold, it'd get air time
And, I don't listen to either show.
I guess it's okay so long as they have the money and stations are willing to put them on the air. Who cares if it comes from advertisers or from the program.
The problem with Air Ameriscam is they didn't have the money and they stole from children in order to extend their sorry-ass excuse for radio broadcasting.
Well, CCC and Cox don't dominate the Austin market and, guess what, Air Ameriscam didn't do well here either...in the only blue county in Texas.
GOP talking points never make logical arguments.The problem with Air Ameriscam is they didn't have the money and they stole from children in order to extend their sorry-ass excuse for radio broadcasting.
Not when you have Alex Jones. o?!?
What's he got to do with it?
Guess you missed the whole Boy's Club episode, did ya?
Of course, I'm sure blue-collar Hispanics have tons of interest in listening to a white, dog-walking, wine-sipping, plastic-surgery-having, lady with a theater degree from Los Angeles. They have so much in common with somebody like that. I'm sure the VRWC is all that is keeping her from top-shelf ratings in San Antonio.
