#2 Found a new ~~sucker~~ investor. How can a liberal radio network not sell even one ad in Santa Cruz CA?

#3 It's good when they find worthy projects upon which to throw away their money. So much less is available for mischief making later.

Nothing in Santa Cruz? I'll have to remember to ask my sister about that -- she's there studying for her PhD. Quite possibly in that market Air America is competing with the local independent and university stations.

#4 Green is the brother of Mark Green, a longtime New York politician who has also appeared frequently as a guest on Air America Radio.

Mark Green is a fricking crypto-commie. Even The Economist describes him as 'leftish.'
I'd sooner vote for Castro to head a human rights commission.

#5 two out of three listeners

Hate to be nitpicky, but shouldn't that read as "two out of the three listeners"?

#6 Yes, when I want someone to run a radio network, the first people I call is a real estate company.
Sounds like someone sucked their brother in bigtime...

#9 Laura Ingraham mentioned that buying Air America is akin to people with more money than sense buying up the last of the 8-Track producers.

I don't recall that, but then I avoided the 8-Track and stuck with the vinyl.

#10 I get the feeling that Green is Buying Air Amerika to save some of its investors and not to make money per se. He buys Air Amerika and after some careful contemplation he sells off all the assets in a fire sale or there is an actual fire and everything is lost. The investors get a fat check and Green gets either a tax deduction or nice check from the insurance company. Either way I dont see Air America gaining any markets or continuing on the air. In Sacramento (a fairly Liberal market) KSAC (0.4) came in dead last behind KGO (0.7) and KNCO (0.5). That would not be unique except that KGO is from San Francisco and KNCO is from Reno NV.

#11 I'd like to help out by donating a working FM transmitter. I got a new one for my MP3 player so they're welcome to my old one. They'll need to supply two AAA batteries.
