AA will never thrive. If I were an advertiser, I would not touch them, or their listener base, even if the advertising was free.

Or 700 could charge the stage and tear him to shreds.

Considering the fact that Al Franken denied Air America was not stealing funds from that youth club (which of courser they were) I would be skeptical of anything this clown says. Therefore this is the puffiest of puff pieces.

"Air America has increased its share... by 40 percent"

If you have one listener and you increase to two that would be a 100 percent increase!

Al should thank his mom for listening.

"But they also note that Air America could slowly build its base. "

Pigs "could" fly, too.

I think we're doing better than people thought. We're on the air over two-thirds of the country," Franken noted

Another example of how liberals measure success. Not how many people want to listen, or how many advertisers, but simply how many places you have bribed or cajoled into providing welfare for your cause.

Red Rock will find out after the February Arbitron radio ratings are released whether Franken and his Air America cohorts are drawing an audience here.

They have done miserably in every arbitron they have gone through so far. It is unlikely this will be different.

Each time the get a new radio station to pick them up, they get loads of great press about how great they are doing.

Duluth freezes your brain.

"I know a woman, came from Duluth
bit by a dog with a rabid tooth, went to the grave
a little too soon, see her again with the moonbat moon..."

Suuure. If Air America were a horse, you'd shoot it.

Any slower & they'll be going backwards!

Probably has her on the payroll with the stolen funds.

There are two kinds of liberals. The pseudointellectual moneyed ones, and the lower class. Neither of them listen to AM radio. The lower class are too busy listening to rap music, the upper class have never even heard of "AM" radio.

Industry followers say Air America still trails conservative programming - including Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly - in nearly all major markets. But they also note that Air America could slowly build its base.

If they were writing about a conservative show, they would state how there is near zero market and it is doomed to utter failure. All in the perspective.

I would bet that this ratings includes AFR since Franken was forced on our troops.
I'm sure talk radio is in fear of Franken catching up. What a joke. (Kind of like calling Kerry a war hero)

All they have to do is keep pumping money into it and it will eventually catch on with enough mind-numbed libs to stay in the water (not really afloat, but in the water). The Average Joe won't stay with it - they might tune in - but to hold their attention, you have to be entertaining. But the kool-aid drinkers might.

"Maryland-based Talkers Magazine figures that Limbaugh reached an average of 13.75 million people each day in fall 2005; Franken only 1.25 million..."

First, I doubt the numbers. Every time I read the stats, Rush is about 20 million, and franked with 1.25 million, maybe.

But, Rush is totally supported by the free market and franken and crew can't even pay the bills without donations and theft. It won't be too long before they head to the gummint trough.

Snort.

Twice nothing is still nothing.

Leave it to the libs to celebrate that fact.
