Air America...yet again has failed trying to gain as many listeners as Howard Dean gains shrinks!

[manwiththehands]

Bu-Bye! It's not looking good for the AirAmerica PoorKidsMoney-for-Airtime program.

[meema]

Boo-hoo. Poor babies.

Who wouldn't trade Al Frankenstein for Frank Sinatra?

[reagan_fanatic]

But..but..liberal talk radio was gonna take over the airwaves and drive right-wing hate-mongers like Rush Limbaugh out of business!

Once by accident. Once because all the other talk stations had ball games on.

Randi's a real piece of work. My guess is that she can't handle reality in her own little make-believe world.

I just happened to tune her in during the Rice confirmation hearings. Some arrogant Dem senator is trying to jam words
into Rice's mouth as the answer to a question he asked, and Rhode's is complaining that Rice won't answer the question.

Yeah, like anybody can get a word in edge-wise when a microphone (or two) separates a Dem senator from
anybody else.

...where's the POLKA Music?...>earworms<

its' still much better than Err Amerika. :D

My local station does Music of Your Life. They do old-time radio drama and comedy on Sat. and Sun. nights, too. Takes me back to my kidhood.

Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy border on sedition, if not actually committing it. The hatred of President Bush is non-stop and has been ever since Airhead Amercia signed on last year. Their stated goal is the start of impeachment hearings and they have the usual suspects on their shows over and over - Maxine Waters, John Conyers, Waxman, and Sheila Jackson Lee. I will never listen to AAR again after this week when encouraging the looting in NO. That goes way over the line.

Hopefully that will happen at WCKY (wacky) radio in Cincinnati soon. 24 hour Art Bell/Coast to Coast reruns would get higher ratings.

Even algore refused to get involved in this train wreck.

Hopefully that will happen with WXKS in Boston. My parents were very upset when they went to hear Glenn Miller but got Schultz instead.

I used to listen to AM 1430 myself.I was heartbroken to hear that that Maoist claptrap had found its way there.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Say Bye, schmuck!

[moose2004]

That's just too damn bad.

"I will never listen to AAR again after this week when encouraging the looting in NO. That goes way over the line."

I hadn't heard that. Do you have any details? That's pretty low but wouldn't surprise me in the least with that gang.

Rather thinks that Kenneth knows the frequency...as Danny Boy...

A couple weeks back, listeners to the _other_ AAR station in Boston, WKOX 1200 (Framingham) heard Spanish-language religious stuff--the format 'KOX had BEFORE the format switch last October--on a Fri afternoon at 3 pm, instead of Ed Schulz. Boston's radio-info.com board was buzzing: FORMAT CHANGE! AAR DUMPED! Not surprising, as they were getting a
0.2 rating (two tenths of one per cent of listeners were
tuned to them).

It was not to be. An error accidentally sent programming
intended for _another_ station to AM 1200. So both are
still AAR, but for how long? the ratings stink!

When WXKS 1430 dumped standards they dropped like a stone in the ratings. And what a surprise, a station out of Cambridge (WJIB AM 740) which had similar music, suddenly zoomed in the ratings. Big bands and "the music of your life" work
in Boston. Liberal talk radio doesn't!!
