The new radio ratings book is in, and in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., Air America has no measurable audience. It hasn't been this bad since Phil Donohue's show on MSNBC was beaten in the ratings by a test pattern on Channel 371.
Liberal radio's inability to find an audience in D.C. is like a fox going into the henhouse and still coming out hungry. In New York City, the fox emerges with an appetizer, but not the full course meal you'd expect from a city as liberal as the Big Apple.
Pretty sad.
Are taxpayers subsidizing this crap too?

Are taxpayers subsidizing this crap too? No, but I'm sure the left will give that a try.
Their celebrations about one demographic "victory" in one market sure doesn't fool the advertisers. They're staying away in droves. I read where at trade shows where the advertisers meet the people selling the airtime, AA is a joke. But worse than that for them, a bad investment with no return in the near or far future.

Sorry. My mistake. The answer to the question "Are taxpayers subsidizing this crap too?" is sort of. The money stolen from the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Clubs was given to the club from federal grant dollars. The Club lent AA the money, possibly violating some laws loaning out the money to anybody. So the taxpayers did indirectly subsidize AA.

Maybe liberal radio doesn't play even in liberal bastions is because it's not original. Everything said is straight out of the lib playbook, spouted endlessly from every talking head in the MSM. They're a victim of friendly fire --- overexposure and competition from their own troops.
