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.

Air America never had any commercial advertisers, ever.
I saw an article early on which stated that the only advertising they had was from Liberal Non-Profits and Foundations. Nothing you can build on for the future.
This thing was dead from birth. Without commercial time being sold this thing can never make it. It's not like it is NPR or something government sponsored.
I predicted June 30 but like another Freeper said I may have been overly generous.

Maybe if they were running it as a real business -- but the underwriters don't care if they lose money, it is political advertising, not a profit center.

That means NPR is welfare for liberals!
