"Air America Radio welcomes ... http://radio.about.com/cs/latestradionews/a/aa050504a.htm About.com needs to do their homework. The hypoblurb states "these stations are carrying the Air America lineup" implying that all shows are being carried. I'm sure WJNO in West Palm hasn't dropped their regular schedule to carry the Air America lineup. All they're carrying is Randi Rhodes. Randi has been on WJNO for years. Long before Air America was a glimmer in an investor's eye. People need to understand that very few stations carry a network's complete lineup. They cherry pick the shows they want from a variety of networks or do their own local stuff. Most of what's on WJNO comes from their own company's network. They're owned by Clear Channel and the network is Premiere, also owned by Clear Channel. With the loss of Los Angeles and Chicago, I believe the only station carrying the complete lineup is WLIB, New York, for which Air America is paying a fortune. I would bet the Air America show most affiliated is Al Franken who plunged a wooden stake into the network's heart by announcing he's thinking about running for office. If he does, the show goes away. Rich |

On "All Things Considered" last night they claimed (without qualification) that the Air America network is currently being carried by 12 stations. |

Quoth Rich Wood in :
As it is, spots scheduled to air on WLIB, New York, were, apparrently, run on the network in a show that suggested the President be assassinated. No Air America show ever suggested the President be assassinated. But keep passing around the lies, Rich. The buzz is bringing in advertising bucks, and as a startup, they can use all the help they can get. -- "I am afeard there are few die well that die in a battle; for how can they charitably dispose of anything when blood is their argument? Now, if these men do not die well, it will be a black matter for the King that led them to it; who to disobey were against all proportion of subjection." - W.S. |

The buzz is bringing in advertising bucks, and as a startup, they can use all the help they can get. The "lies" have been all over the trade press. Randi Rhodes allegely suggested George Bush be taken out in a boat and shot. That's what prompted the advertisers to request their spots not air on the network. I'm sure she wasn't serious but mainstream advertisers shun controversy. I'm curious how you know the "buzz" is bringing in advertisers. Unless you're an employee of the network or ad agencies who are placing buys, how would you know? Many spots on a new network are there to avoid using PSAs in every break. With only one major market I doubt they're getting network buys. Even WLIB, New York, doesn't have the tonnage in the right demos to get bought. My guess is those were spots being run off from a buy aimed at the station's previous audience or as a combo buy with WBLS. I think the archive their shows on the net. It allegedly happened last week. Rich |

"Like Fredo, somebody ought to take him out fishing and phuw," she said, imitating the sound of gunfire." Mark Howell |
