"WHJJ's share between noon and 3 p.m. fell from 4.4 in fall 2003 to 2.5 in fall 2004; WPRO's rose from 4.5 to 6.9." - Mega-Franken Fraud-dittoes!!!

"David Bernstein, program director for rival WPRO-AM (630), agrees that it's too soon to judge the success of Air America. He even says he admires WHJJ for rolling the dice with a new format."

Translation- "If these dip$hits want to piss away their rating's we will gladly adjust our advertising fees accordingly"

I thought the most telling remark was that they are having no trouble getting people to look, but getting them to stay is tough.

That doesn't bode well for the product at all.

"I listened to Al Franken, just to see what they're doing. I thought it was painful. He's slow, he's not funny ....

And there you have it.

Sure, establish a liberal network that isn't supported by taxpayer dollars, and let the free market decide.

But the first radio ratings to come out since WHJJ switched to Air America show the station has lost listeners.
WHJJ's share, which measures the percentage of people who listening to the radio from 6 a.m. to midnight, went from 3.1 in the fall of 2003 to 2.6 in the fall of 2004, a decline of 16 percent.
And if you look at the heavyweight duel between Al Franken and Rush Limbaugh between noon and 3, Limbaugh is whipping Franken. Put another way, in an average 15 minutes in that time slot, WHJJ dropped from 13,600 listeners in fall 2003 to 8,000 in fall 2004. On WPRO, Limbaugh's audience rose from 13,800 to 22,200.

Buried at paragraph #30.

Is this station the AM counterpart to FM WHJY? HJY has some liberal DJ's, one of whom blasted the President at the memorial service for the Station Nightclub victims.

Liberal ratings math: one liberal listener is equal to two conservative listeners.

[AmishDude]

Note that their ratings fell during the huge election season. It's just going downhill from there.

He's slow, he's not funny?

Quite the contrary, I find him to be a total laughing stock. What could be funnier than the left commenting without a clue. I wonder how many liberals this failure will drive into bankruptcy.

>>DePetro dubbed himself "The Independent Man," but when it came to national politics, he was a consistently faithful Bush Republican

The name "Independent Man" comes from the statue of a man on top of the Rhode Island state house. You can be an
"Independent Man" and be conservative too; here in Mass.
I'm registered as Unenrolled or Independent but usually
vote Republican. I, too, am an Independent Man.
