Broadcasting on Air America. The pathway to oblivion.

[andy58-in-nh]

They don’t have a prayer.

[fella]

Conservative talk shows haul in great ratings. Air America filed Chapter 11. The market speaks.

And that's with all that Sorus money backing thier startup.

[ClearCase_guy]

By spending an hour bashing and attacking those who DO believe in God.

And that's why I have a hard time with these people. On the one hand, Christians are called upon to spread the gospel -- so Christians often approach people and say, "Let me share my beliefs with you. Let me tell you how wonderful Jesus has made my life."

Now, on the other hand, I suppose atheists can be evangelical too, and tell people about their beliefs. Nothing wrong with that. But can they say that atheism has made their lives wonderful? I don't think so. All they can really do is insult the foolish people believe in God.

Evangelical atheists are rude and boorish.

[AppyPappy]

What do they talk about? Oh yeah, the evil Christians.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

No surprise that the atheists are on a leftist station. (Communism is atheistic)

[Graybeard58]

Sorta like Illinois Nazis.

I hate Illinois nazis.

[sportutegrl]

The show will air Sundays from 9 to 10 a.m. on AM 950 . . .

Can't wait to see the Arbitron ratings for this one.

[mkjessup]

Maybe they can channel Madalyn Murray O’Hair and she can tell them just how hot it REALLY is down there?

[yankeedame]

"They don’t have a prayer."

Wakka...wakkaa..wakka..

From their home page....

“Air America Minnesota was born of the inspiration and perspiration of our founders, Minnesota attorney Janet Robert, and former Minnesota Congressman Bill Luther, who were concerned that the public airwaves had become overtaken by a right-wing agenda.”

[VOA]

“The show will air Sundays from 9 to 10 a.m. on AM 950 starting
Jan. 13 when Oxford professor, evolutionary biologist and renowned
atheist Richard Dawkins will be the featured guest.”

Well, now Dawkins can get a microphone to rail about his other missionary
work: letting us know that Jews run everything.

(and yes, I’m posting this to let folks get “the rest of the story”
about Prof. Dawkins)

[Fresh Wind]

Isn’t that the station that uses a squirrel-powered transmitter?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

And squirrel by-products......

[RayChuang88]

And meanwhile, conservative-leaning WWTC (1280 AM) in the same area is doing well. Unless you have a really good host, liberal-leaning talk radio doesn’t do well.

[JWinNC]

"How many times can you actually listen to the “No Hope Hour” ?"

LOL

Atheists are the only folk I know who spend a huge chunk of their time talking about something they don't believe in. How inspiring.

jw

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Yes, 1280 does well in this market. But AAR gets all the press when something “earth shattering” like this happens.....

[USS Alaska]

I’d listen, but I don’t believe in atheism.

[KarlInOhio]

Considering Air America's using charities as "creative" funding methods in the past, how did they get the money for this show? Knocking over Salvation Army buckets?

[Ranger Warrior]

Are there sponsors? Radio’s bottom line is sponsors, and I see this going absolutely no where, not to mention the listening audience must be so obscure, there are no ratings possible.
