Jon Sinton, then with Air America, predicted in 2004 that
“in five years we’ll be on 600 stations” in an interview with
Mark Jurkowitz of the possibly-soon-out-of-print Boston Globe. Probably 60-65 stations at the most do libtalk and it’s failed in markets like Boston. Miami’s station just flipped to sports...

Clear Channel’s WHJJ 920, Prov. RI, dumped libtalk for
conservative talk including Rush Limbaugh. The program
director came out and said “The Air America experiment is
over.”

And oh yes, Obama 1260 in Washington DC—an area not exactly

make...”Money”

If only Obama could fade away as fast.

Thanks for this update. This is a local station that I have avoided like the plague, especially after one morning I had the misfortune of hearing the contrived, fawning reviews of Obama's "race speech" last year (when he was trying to shake off the Wright controversy). IIRC I think the revered, hushed tones and sounds of Kleenex being passed around were coming from this Stephanie Whoever's show.

The link also indicates that demented harpy Randi Rhodes lost syndication too. Sweet schadenfreude, you gotta love it!

"it’s failed in markets like Boston"

I've often wondered if the reason behind the constant reelection of nutbag Lefties, like Kennedy, Kerry, etc., in Massachusetts, was due to massive vote fraud, as opposed to the state's residents simply being Bolsheviks.

Your comment makes me even more suspicious.
