"Most big corporations and big organizations do, unless they are specifically partisan"

True. Didn't catch the program on Jan 25, but did catch the email segment a day or 2 later on BOR in which people were commenting on his segment on Air America and how Glaser (Real Networks' CEO) was pouring millions into Air America. One said they were going to immediately remove Real Player from their PC.

The left-wing radio network Air America has been plagued with low ratings and financial troubles. Radio observer Brian Maloney reported that host Al Franken is one reason Air America may be headed for a crash landing. "Franken's salary has gone up and up - his base salary is $2 million a year. Other guys with the same audience are making one-tenth of that." Maloney claimed the network is being propped up by wealthy entrepreneur Rob Glaser. "He's writing big fat checks to keep Air America on the air. I don't see how they can keep this going - in 2008 Franken's salary goes up to $3 million." The Factor added that Franken's latest ratings show a definite southerly trend. "In Los Angeles Franken's program is down 33% in the key demographic segment of 25 to 54. In San Francisco he's down 24%, in Boston 42%, and in San Antonio they dropped the entire network. But we have one far left guy, Rob Glaser, keeping this network on the air by just kicking money in and paying all the bills."

Don't forget they are actually paying some stations to carry the show instead of vis-versa... something unheard of in radio.
