Air America Continues Ratings Slide Even In Most Popular Markets
2006-07-28
After being plugged relentlessly by the New York Times and other "objective" media outlets, the ratings for Air America continue to drop. Brian Maloney has the details:

Like an ice cream cone left in the hot July sun, Air America Radio's ratings are melting in some key (read: liberal) regions of the country.

Based on fresh ratings data released Thursday evening, the "progressive" radio network has lost strength in three cities where it had previously found the most listener support: Portland, Seattle and Denver.

Representing the spring 2006 Arbitron reporting period, these results provide one of the two most important report cards for the entire year.

#5  AirUnamerican is testing thier strength in the markeplace of ideas...opps, they have certain hurdles to overcome thier record , Pol potty, mao , lenin, castro, hitler, saddam, lil kim and a burgeoning group of new but nothing different folks like hubobo and achtungminijad.

access to easy money is the essence of the cliche, more money than brains to them that sponsors this group of functioning miscreants.

#4  They've got NPR. Why do they need another network?

#3  This is working out really well. It's sucking up lefty cash and energy, while reaching zero audience. Having their own radio presence has become a status thing. So they don't care that it's counterproductive and a waste of resources. What's not to like?

#2  When I hear Air America, I think of the play, The Producers. Dim-witted but rich liberals, send us a check! Send big money help NOW to fight the evil George Bush!! They hire people with zero talent and then they gather tons and tons of money to "keep them on the air". It goes off the air, but not before lots of its organizers pad their bank accounts with money from Barbara S. and Sean Penn and any other liberal fool with money but no sense.

#1  In AA's case, I think it's imperative to define "popular."

I don't think it means what "popular" usually means.
