Just plain wild. The thought that AA is just a bad business model with a poor product never even comes near the lefties minds.

"Sounds like censorship to me..."

Sounds like there was a lack of a boys and girls club to siphon money from in order to stay afloat to me.

When best-selling author and Air America Radio host Franken heard the news about KKNS, he said: “It's a shock. It doesn't make any sense to me. Our ratings were great. We were beating Rush Limbaugh. I was wiping the floor with Rush.”

Is this true?

Michael Savage airs after Barberry. Savage is “one of the most obnoxious conservatives that you can find on the dial. I'd rather listen to Al Franken than Mike Savage,” Simmons said.

LOL! I wouldn't want to listen to Franken under any circumstance, but given the choice between him and Savage? Ehhh, I guess I would choose Savage and either get some earplugs or turn the volume down.

They beat Rush in a few select demographics, but not enough to interest ( fool ) advertisers. They're back to their old thing where they compare ratings for a five hour period, two of which Rush isn't even on.

“I'm bummed. It sounds like censorship to me,” said Stanley North of Hamilton.

And, Stan, you sound like a jackass to me.

That's what lieburrals always whine when nobody buys what they're selling.

I guess when the target audience only rides bikes, the G***o Insurance ads don't get much response. What do you sell to a liberal? Pot?

I was in Missoula las summer. I look around and found three liberals in the whole city. 7 in all of Montana.
Hell this reject of a radio show chan't pull down an audience in uber liberal N.Y. city, how do they expect to do well in flyover country?

AA may lose their Atlanta station next month. I mentioned before that they should try softcore porn like Salon.com did to stay alive, but I don't know how that would work on radio.

Even them to start whining for federal intervention to keep their drivel on the air any time soon.

Mr Franken is delusional

Sorry I meant "I expect them to start whining for federal intervention to keep their drivel on the air at some time soon."

Is this true?

Missoula, as I remember it, is a very liberal city and area. (University of Montana) So, it might be true that AA was beating Rush in the ratings. Hard to believe, though.
