Bad content? Bad business model? No, those reasons aren't why Air America is no longer with us. Air America, a radio network advertised as the next talk radio juggernaut in 2004, was supposed to revolutionize the format and provide a "counterweight" for those left-of-center politically.
But there's another reason according to HLN host and "The View" panelist Joy Behar. In the usual fashion of citing no statistics and making sweeping generalizations, Behar blamed the collapse of liberal talk radio outlet Air America on a gender gap in listeners on her Jan. 25 HLN broadcast.
"Ok, but can I say that men listen to talk radio more than women and men are more conservative, generally speaking," Behar said, proposing a reason for Air America's bankruptcy.

Well, Joy Behar certainly is.
And probably one man in particular - that's right, ole GWB!
What an effing moron she is.
“Ok, but can I say that men listen to talk radio more than women and men are more conservative, generally speaking”
So tell me, Ms B......who’s responsible for the dying of the soaps?
Cows know enough to come in out of the rain
REASONS #2 through 100: See Reason #1.
So like a typical "progressive" she is projecting her idiocy onto others...sounds about par for the liberal course.
Hey, lighten up on cows, at least they know when to go home.
I'm not privileged to see Joy Behar often. But I run across her from time-to-time.
The lady never fails to amuse me. She can say the most stunningly dumb things -- with total sincerity and seriousness. She couldn't think her way out of a room with sliding doors.
I really wonder how she got the gig. And what's keeping her on the air? Are there no standards for on-camera "persoalities". Or does CNN management and Barbara Walters keep her around for comic relief?
And men in general are more conservative than women.
Then Air America should have been an outlet that address liberals, and primarily liberal women.
So who failed who? Liberal women or Air America?
All the conservatives in talk radio must compete against each other, for time slot or market.
Air America competed against NPR. NPR got tax payer $$$, Air America competed against no one for liberal advertising $$$, and yet still FAILED.
Liberals and their ideals cannot succeed in the open market.
There are no limits to the lengths Liberals will go to to maintain their altered reality.
Joy Behar is an expert at failing on radio. She’s done it several times.
Is Joy still yapping?
I was wondering what that strident, whiny sound was.
My guess would be Barbara Walters wants her there to make her look intelligent by comparison. Of course a mollusk would look intelligent by comparsion...at least it doesn't say stupid things.
Or is the country to racist, Befart?
You know, how we call it “Black Friday” and all, you moron.
Lying skank pig telling yet another bunch of lies. There are lots of women that lsten to radio, conservative radio, and are engaged enough to make up a large portion of the callers that make their opinions known, for and against every issue brought up.
Joy Behar is just proving once again, what an ignorant, prejudiced, bigoted, diarrhea mouth pig, that she is!
She’s so stupid it’s comical. Limbaugh, Hannity, even Howard Stern started local, built their formats and their audiences, and syndicated after years of work. Joy Behar was around for this. WABC tossed her at least twice, and another New York station gave her a spot until she also got rid of their audience.
Air America decided that rather than find a market and supply it, they would pretend there was a market and throw money at it. Fail.
Isn’t it amazing how well informed about talk radio Behar is, since she apparently has never listened to it long enough to know what she’s talking about?
Prejudiced, ignorant, big mouth pig.
