Does anyone know what the financial state is of Air America?
Unless Soros is sending them a big check each month, where are they getting the money to pay these salaries?
Are their ratings any better than they were before? Do they even have a presence outside NYC these days?
I heard they got booted off the air in a few markets last year.

What the hey. If Stern can get $200 mil, I think they should pay Franken that much. Boys and Girls club are good for it, right?

I'd like to buy Al for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth.

Occasionally I'll get into my car between 1500-1900 and the radio will automatically come on to WJNO/1290AM from West Palm Beach. Rush is on before Randi. She will screech and make my earwax run before I can change the station. When she's on, I call her show Radio Hanoi/Havana/Teheran

Nope, but I looked up their website, airamericaradio.com, and found out that they moved to a more local station near me,
WVAA. It used to carry Rush pre-Premier/CC, and had Howie Dean as a silent partner at the time. It changed its call
letters and went to mostly C&W, and carried NASCAR races, as least on Sundays.
I saw it mentioned in Usenet's rec.radio.shortwave in that somebody in NJ caught the 5Kw station one night, a distance
of at least 250mi.

They could have had Lewis Black for half that.

In SF they replaced the "Morning Sedition" show with Will Durst (commie comic) and former SF mayor Willie Brown. Typically replacing nationally-syndicated stuff with local stuff is a cost measure, but I sure wouldn't dare to assume that that financial angle is something that is even relevant to AA prrogrammers. Dunno if that means anything nationwide either.

I thought bupkis was yiddish for 'nothing'. I guess I stand corrected on the definition, but somehow it all seems to fit Franken anyway.

I thought bupkis was yiddish for 'nothing'. I guess I stand corrected on the definition It depends on the context. Saying that someone gets paid in "farts" is just a more colorful way of saying that he gets paid nothing.

Air America and the Charles Rosen connection is interesting, if not a case of like-kind flocking together. I understand he is the one that diverted the funds two years ago to Air Enron while with the Gloria Wise club.
He is associated with the Communist Progressive Labor Party in NYC, is known as the Lenin of the North Bronx, and made contributions to John Kerry.

I know local untapped talent making more money than Franken makes.

Would that be the Jack Russel that burned down that nightclub and a good many of his fans in the process?He's not charged with any murder charges, his tour manager and roadie are though.

Once heard her show - she was making jokes at AA's expense.. lead me to believe that all is not harmonious over there.. she claims she's on Clear Channel stations? Hadn't heard that before..Absolutely. Two that I know of. One in the Denver market (Boulder actually) and one in Seattle. There's probably more.
The station in Boulder, CO isn't exactly a 1-watt college campus radio station. It's got a pretty good day and night time coverage area. I've heard it up here in NE Montana at night.

I bet Randi Rhodes will be PISSED OFF to find out how much Al Franken is scamming from Err America. I doubt if she is even getting 10% of his salary.I think she really doesn't give a rip. I think she's happy she's got a national show where she can spew forth her garbage to a wider audience beyond the borders of Florida.
