According to DU "experts" George Bush's friends took them off the air. BTW, one poster said they have enough funding to run 2 years, without any advertising revenue.

Maybe, but the people underwriting this venture do so based on the premise the Airbag will build audience and become self sufficient through ad revenue. If advertisers started pulling their support this early, that is like hanging an albatross around your neck. If they see a losing proposition, they will yank their money and put it somewhere else where it can do some good.

They might be talking about money to pay the "talent" salaries to keep talking, and to put *out* the signal, but I doubt if that's the same as being able to afford *broadcast outlets* all around the country to send their signal across the airwaves. That costs a pretty penny, and the local stations are probably starting to bail because while they hoped that being part of the "liberal talk radio" franchise would bring in a good audience (for local ads or whatever), they're probably starting to realize that it's a dud and the sooner they get out and put on better programming, the better off they'll be.

That may well be, but no station owner in his/her right mind is going to bank his future on some whacko leftist nutcases, even if the owner is a democrat, money talks etc.
