This is a great article folks. My personal fave:

"...in New York City, AA's ratings are even lower than that station's previous format, which was Caribbean music."

I'll keep you updated on all the implosions!

I would be interested in knowing what people think is the reason for sagging ratings and lackluster sales.

The shrill voice of Randi Rhodes?

The banality of 98% of Al Frankens words?

The shrieking arrogance of Janine Garofalo?

I guess America doesn't want to hear on the radio a bunch of sefl-righteous windbags, blowing anti-americanism through their air waves.

Do you really want to sit through that henious woman Randi Rhodes bash America and Americans?

I sure I don't. And to the look of the ratings of the miserable network the majority of Americans don't want to either.

Having been a truck driver on the road for most of my adult life I have listened to alot of talk radio local and National.

It is my opinion most people listening to talk radio are in their cars and trucks etc. , Which means these are working folks. Which I believe are mostly moderate to conservatives.
Liberals stay home alot which is why I believe the Television is directed at them.

Bullsquat!

Most of the liberals are in the service..... fighting "terra" in Iraq.

The cowardly conservitives are blowing smoke up each other's skirts about how "we" should ivade Iran next.

Have a nice day.

By and large....talk radio is very bad for your soul. Listen to a great piece of music....a book on tape...anything but talk radio..................

I do get tired of talk radio...all of it.

I listen to SIRIUS satellite in the Truck .....not really much on there either.

I kinda like Rusty Humphries, Savage and Allen Colmes. Allen Colmes speaks alot about the tuckdrivers and high fuel prices and damn near sounds like a righty at times....an independant thinker anyway.

Rusty Humphries is an easy guy to listen to....family man with a sense of humor and pretty darn smart.

Savage I think has great stories of growing up in NewYork ....he is a great story teller. Speaks about simpler times in stunning detail.

I truly miss Art Bell and Tom Snyder.

Yeah, I have an idea: It's always easier to sell honey than vinegar!

Vinegar, by the way, cleans things up in the body (-politic), too!

Metaphors are necessary at times.

How about you act your age and keep your name calling in the "politics".

What?

Savage's real name IS "Weiner".

You make no sense.

THE SAVAGE WEINER! He strikes fear in the hearts of the embedded enemies of the U.S. . LIBERALS!!!!!:p

No. Not fear. Far from it.

Disgust. Loathing. Nausea. Revulsion.

But NOT fear.

It's laughable that you would even think that, let alone post it.

And "Savage Weiner" isn't the only one who earns that sort of reaction, BTW.

of course what Palidum dosen't tell you it that comes from an OPINION PIECE from MISSISSIPPI..

really objective isn't it??

by the way.. the opinion is a LIE. Flat out LIE.

the latest book for AAR in New York was a 1.3, when it was a "Caribbean music" it was a 0.3

that's a 450% increase.

yet they still lie...

Byron York wrote on NationalReview.com, "The latest radio ratings are in and they show continued bad news for Air America." But York cited only New York ratings where Air America's share held firm at a 1.2 rating, at a time that nearly all political talk in New York (and indeed the whole country) showed a decline in the first quarter of 2005. (Rush Limbaugh's ratings tanked by 25% in New York.)

AAR just blew O'Lilely off the air in Denver.

here's a few more

Air America Radio Up 140% in LA, Eating Up Rush Limbaugh's Audience

Air America Radio Making Huge Gains In Colorado

Air America Radio overtaking Rush Limbaugh in Florida

Air America Radio Buries Sean Hannity in Portland, Poised To Take Over Top Spot

Lies, Damn Lies, and Limbaugh’s Press Release About Progressive Radio

so spew all you want... AAR is here to stay and the Reich is going DOWN.

Libs always get so angry when they're wrong. Or is it because they're always wrong. Whatever.
