This is amazing...as a former broadcaster, I had an idea that the Libs were paying for the time slots (they call it brokered time in the business), but the price they're paying must be outrageous. You may recall that Westwood One reportedly paid WOR in New York and KABC in Los Angeles 3-400,000 a YEAR to carry Bill O'Reilly's show. If LibRadio already owes the station owner $1 million for time in Chicago and LA, then they're paying a premium price--for stations that barely register in the local ratings.
Typical liberals--pay an arm and a leg for stations that can't deliver an audience. I originally predicted that LibRadio might last six months. I'm changing my prediction to two months. One more thing--didn't Drudge report that LibRadio had upwards of $20 million in start-up money? How in the hell do you run through that kind of cash in less than a year? Ooops, I forgot, we're talking about liberals. Wasting other people's money is something they're quite good at...
A very well respected radio station owner mentioned today that the money AA is payying the stations is outrageous, way out of line. It may be that AA is trying to have the courts rewrite the contract to be representative of the local market conditions (court of equity).
It is also possible that the investors in AA have become very nervous about the lack of advertising and are pulling out before they dump a real pantload of cash into this turkey. It is possible that the investors are from the same group that pulled out of GoreCable.
