Apparently, the New York Air America station replaced a station that had been playing Caribbean music. The Caribbean music station had gotten better ratings "IN NEW YORK!!!!" than Air America. If Air America can't garner any better ratings in a state as left as New York maybe they need to consider the possibility that their brand of culture is not even close to the center of mainstream US thought.

Sorry, neocon sheep, nothing will stop Air America or the Americans they represent.



From http://www.targetmarketnews.com/storyid08040601.htm

< (August 2, 2006) Air America, the liberal talk network best known for its commentator Al Franken, is moving its flagship operation from one New York City, black-owned radio station to another New York City black-owned radio station.



Starting September 1, WWRL-AM will be the new home for the two-year old network. Since it went on the air, Air America’s operations were based at WLIB, the black talk station owned by Inner City Broadcasting Corp. WWRL, which is owned by Access.1 Communications, currently features an urban talk format with commentators such as Armstrong Williams and Larry Elder.



“We are excited about our new affiliation and the platform this move will establish for Air America in the years ahead,” said Jim Wiggett, acting CEO of Air America, which airs on more than 80 stations plus XM Satellite Radio.



WLIB is reported to be making plans for a new progressive talk line-up that will be more locally oriented.



Access.1 Communications Corp. also owns and operates 7 stations in Shreveport, LA., 7 in Tyler-Longview-Marshall, Texas; 6 in stations in Atlantic City, NJ, and an NBC TV affiliate(WMGM-TV 40) in Atlantic City. The company also owns and operates SupeRadio; a syndication company that distributes over forty programs broadcasting to an estimated 100 million people combined, and is one of the two founding partners of American Urban Radio Networks.>

on the grounds that they had an fool like like Al Franken working the tutor, Limbaugh, Hannity and the others, all have help and sponsors who purchase airtime to have their categorized commercials heard on their classes via fact they understand they have a huge listening aim marketplace. the genuine opposite of what Franken had, the only ingredient Franken sees is the Senate seat, the place he can start to roll interior the greenbacks with greed and corruption. With Franken, Reid, Pelosi, and Burris, that is going to likely be a miracle of any paintings is carried out interior the Senate as they push their puppy initiatives for his or her District Pelosi their Capo is already interior the lead with 30 million she shanghaied, interior the stimulus kit for a uncommon mouse in her district. Franken knew he might get greater as a Senator then he ever might at Air united statesa.. that's a frightening theory with Franken via take a Senate seat any day, the Democratic Mafia is heavily staring on the courtroom to work out what they are going to confirm on the Cole Franken lawsuit. Franken desperate to decide for the Senate after it regarded unlikely that he might get a stimulus examine to pay his earnings at Air united statesa., the place interior the Senate, he ought to get beef barrel money for his very own very own use, after he identifies a pick in his district.

Just like Howard Stern, they are on satellite radio, both XM and Sirius.



Yeah, their brand of culture only garnered 50+ million votes last election, so they have no backing in the society.
