FD,

For what ever reason, somethings always do well in NYC.

So the Question becomes: How will it Play in Peoria ?

"For example, among listeners from 25 and 54, whom advertisers covet, the
network estimates it drew an average listener share (roughly a percentage of
listeners) of 3.4 on WLIB in April, from 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays,
according to the company's extrapolation of figures provided by Arbitron for
the three months ended in April. (Arbitron, which does not provide ratings
in monthly increments, said the network's methodology appeared sound,
although such figures were too raw to translate to numbers of listeners.) "

"By contrast, according to Air America's figures, WABC-AM drew an average
share of 3.2 during the same period in April for the same age group. That
time period includes the three hours in which Mr. Limbaugh was pitted head
to head against Mr. Franken"

Looks like I was wrong about Air America's ratings, at least at the start
up. I didn't much like most of the hosts(although I thought Franken was OK)
and I thought they would turn off listeners. Well, Air America says more
people in the New York area listened to Franken, rather than Limbaugh.

The article is mostly about Air America's rotten business start-up.

Ed Schultz beats Limbaugh in Fargo.

Randi Rhodes beats Limbaugh in Boca Raton.

Randi Rhodes could probably Beat Limbaugh in a Fist-Fight..

Undoubtedly. She got some hand-to-hand training in the military.

I'll disagree. Limbaugh, much like the great Kung-Fu masters, knows how to
make himself immune to pain.

RHF raises precisely the right question: "How will in play in
Peoria?"

No one has *the* answer to that yet but here's what the radio station
in Portland has to say so far. They are delighted. Read for
yourself:

BTW, on some other boards you'll run across people who claim Clear
Channel is prohibiting Air America from any of their stations. The
proof is in the pudding. KPOJ, the Portland affiliate of Air America
is a Clear Channel station.

And of course, Randi Rhodes remains on the West Palm Clear Channel station,
where she airs after Limbaugh.

FF,

Exactly, some programming that is specifically NYC (East Coast
Urban) just is not received well in the Heartland of America.
(Small Towns and Rural Areas)

If, Air America's Talk Show Hosts prove to be both Entertaining
and Informative; plus Personalities that their Audiences can
Identify with Politically. Then in a 50/50 Country they should
have a High Percentage "Market Share" of the Nation Wide
Radio Listeners.

Seems from the article that Air America is doing well in the
Metro Portland Area.
