Air America Continues Ratings Slide
News Busters ^ | July 28, 2006 | Matthew Sheffield

Posted on 07/28/2006 1:19:40 PM PDT by new yorker 77

After being plugged relentlessly by the New York Times and other "objective" media outlets, the ratings for Air America continue to drop. Brian Maloney has the details:

Like an ice cream cone left in the hot July sun, Air America Radio's ratings are melting in some key (read: liberal) regions of the country.

Based on fresh ratings data released Thursday evening, the "progressive" radio network has lost strength in three cities where it had previously found the most listener support: Portland, Seattle and Denver.

Representing the spring 2006 Arbitron reporting period, these results provide one of the two most important report cards for the entire year.

I like playing my Randi Rhodes game.

You could have a Randi Rhodes party and take a drink every time she rips on Bush.

Air America is the clandestine contract airline of the CIA

Air America is said to be one of the few government entities that made a profit.

Every aircraft and pilot was an independant and the 2 that I have known personally collected their pay that was deposited in a bank of their choice and had they been caught doing their job they were on their own.

Today, Al Franken was doing a live broadcast from the Clinton Liebrary, in my town.. He was going to have all the ususal Little Rock Clinton cronies on..Max Brummet, Gene Lyons, etc.

Two minutes into his insane rant..I couldn't take it any longer and had to change the station. Thank God Rush was on.

Air America deserves to fold.

Isn't a continued slide a mathematical impossiblity? How do you go below zero listeners?

What's amazing to me is that they keep finding money to finance this loser. How many Boys' Clubs can they rob? Doesn't Soros ever tire of dumping money down these rat holes?

>They have advertisers? When I used to try to listen to them all they had was PSAs.

What were their PSAs for; Hezbollah, Heroin and Leukemia?

A certain Rush Limbaugh also lives there. He seems pretty conservative.
