Airamerica is being bankrolled--the buying of stations and/or air time without regard to market demand--by wealthy liberals" And Limbaugh's and Hannity's aren't being bankrolled by wealthy Republicans? I refrain from using the conservative word, as the majority of republicans are not conservative. Just wondering................. Les Limbaugh and Hannity (and lesser lights such as Savage) are advertiser supported. I have no idea whether those who support the programs with advertising dollars are Republicans or Democrats, but I suspect that there are at least some of the latter. It's not quite the same thing as what is going on at Air America, at least for the time being, where AFAIK stations have actually been purchased or segments of time bought for the express purpose of getting the hosts on the air without regard to receiving commercial advertising in return. To me, the latter is actually closer to the shortwave "model." You are 100% correct. Air America at the present time is not driven by advertiser revenue. That may indeed change, time will tell. But if history holds true, Air America will fail. |
