AP: Air America Radio Files Chapter 11 Friday October 13, 10:37 am ET Liberal Talk Radio Network Air America Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
NEW YORK (AP) -- Air America Radio, a liberal talk and news radio network, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a network official told the AP. The network had denied rumors just a month ago that it would file for bankruptcy, but on Friday Air America said negotiations with a creditor from the company's early days had broken down.
The network will stay on the air while it resolves issues with its creditors, spokeswoman Jaime Horn told the Associated Press. A formal announcement was expected to be made later Friday.
You piqued my interest.
I'm not a 24/7 member so I can't get Rush's link, but here is a left wing site that has his comment and the Pew (2004)document he quoted. (You have to scroll through the BS to get to the transcipt.)

There is a pdf of the complete study on that page.
Here's another couple of links about talk radio in general that might help.

From what I see, he does have an above average audience. 50% over 50 years old and 38% college graduates. I really enjoy refuting moonbats!
Boy scouts beware...
Why in the heck would I listen to a bunch of Sixties throwbacks telling me that thrift, industry, character and honesty are "racist"? Good riddance.
Thank You!!!!!!!!
thats why it failed...why tune in all day to one news source when you can get the main stream media dog and pony show on all stations? That's why conservative talk radio is so popular...no where else to go.....
You're welcome.
