May as well, they patterned their business model after NPR....
Why am I not surprised? They sure don't behave like they think they should have to make money to stay in the broadcasting business.
Howie Carr (syndicated conservative host in New England)
yesterday: "We want to welcome the 2 or 3 listeners that
Air America had to our show...Why would anyone want to
hear crappy liberal talk shows on weak AM signals...when
they can just turn to NPR and get crappy liberal talk
on powerful signals? That's the thing: why do they need
another 'liberal network', when they already have one,
and it's taxpayer funded. It's called N-P-R!"
