Air America no longer a 'LIB-eral network (Booted from flagship NYC station today!)
NY Daily News ^ | 8/31/06 | DAVID HINCKLEY

Posted on 09/01/2006 2:37:12 PM PDT by jimbo123

The progressive network Air America tonight scoops up the slings and arrows it aims at President Bush and moves them to its new home a few blocks downtown.

Starting tomorrow, Air America will be heard on WWRL (1600 AM), ending a 29-month run at WLIB (1190 AM).

-snip-

The move to WWRL will reduce Air America's coverage in some parts of the metropolitan area, since WWRL's signal isn't quite as strong as WLIB's and there are areas where it is hard to pick up.

Questions continue to circulate about the financial health of the network, which has experienced cash crises and relatively high turnover of executives.

The new station won't carry the AA morning show either. The death spiral of Air America continues...

Pretty soon they're going to be broadcasting from one of those 1 watt FM microphones that RadioShack used to sell as kids' toys.

Is it true they are putting Michael Savage in AA's old time slot?

Since they'd never take it on the chin and realize no one was interested in their BS, I'll be the first to say it.

Bush's fault.

I never understood why they would need Liberal talk radio when liberals are all over the MSM! How can Air America compete with the NY Times, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, Washington Post, Reuters, Associated Press, NPR etc. etc.? There's only so much venom and disinformation a person can take!

What makes me happiest is thinking of all the rich liberal money being thrown down the drain.

Ahhh...

I expect we'll see renewed efforts to push through that abomination called the "Fairness Doctrine". What the liberal idiots can't achieve in the forum of public opinion they will try to push through legislation and the courts.

That's why they were doomed to start with. Of course they are in denial that all the MSM outlets really are leftists, but that's the fact of the matter. There's not enough oxygen on the Left for even the MSM outlets to survive (we've been witnessing the slow-motion death of the MSM, in progress), so there was no way in hell that Air Stupid was going to make it.

And a cool million (illicitly) from the Boys & Girls Club, which I don't recall ever being returned.

The times I hear Air America in NYC is in taxi cabs driven by angry muslims. I guess they're going to be even angrier now that they've moved it to a weak station.

I got a mental image of Franken with an afro leaning out of a convertable yelling at teenage girls. "Hey gorgeous, how about a date?!"
