The Air America success story in New England, one of the
blue-est areas of the country:

VERMONT:
WVAA 1070/1390 Burlington—GONE (now women’s talk radio)
WKVT 1490 Brattleboro—still on the air

NH: Never had an AAR station

MASS:
WKOX 1200/WXKS 1430 Boston—GONE (now La Nueva Rumba)
A couple small stations in Western MA (1240,1600)—still on

RI:
WHJJ 920 Providence—GONE (now conservative talk.
After ratings plummeted, the prog. director declared
“The Air America experiment is over.”)

CT:
WVAZ 1300 New Haven—GONE (now sports)

MAINE:
WLVP 870 Portland—GONE (now sports)

If liberal talk were done well, it would succeed. But maybe
the real reason it has failed is that liberals already
have their own network, and it’s taxpayer funded.
National PROGRESSIVE Radio.

Air America was given a chance to succeed in the free
marketplace but it failed. (And now they want a “fairness
doctrine” to force it on us—but it’s already on! NPR!)

Pam Meister says that if you want a Fairness Doctrine, be prepared for a LOT more conservative voices on
NPR and she opines that while liberals claim to be tolerant they don’t want to actually have to listen to another
viewpoint.

Jay Leno: ““They say the purpose of Air America will be to balance out all the conservatives in the media, except, of course for NPR, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the New York Times. Other than that.” (He forgot Boston Globe, MSNBC,
Michael Moore, AlGore, Rolling Stone...)
