Air America -- Good Ratings in NY!
"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" http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0531-08.htm 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. Frank Dresser |

"Diverd4777" wrote in message ... - Quite true; Frank, Air America is quite good.. Have a freind ( Veteran, Korean war) Listens to it regularly. Did they get better? I didn't think they were particularly good last time I heard them, but I did think Franken was OK. To be fair, I think they are about as good as the Limbaugh clones, who get tiresome pretty quickly. Limbaugh used to be better than he is now, but he started leaning hard on the Republican party line years ago. It will be interesting to see how many people are listening in a year. Of course, what I like ain't necessarily what makes a decent sized audience. I do think Alex Jones is the most entertaining talent in political talk radio.

Leaving the opposition stunned and bewildered. Air America's a very good station. I think the New York station is their only 50 kW station, although the 1 kW signal in Chicago had fair coverage. We'll see if the New York rating surprise will give them some momentum to expand into other big cities. And maybe they will get smart, and get onto shortwave radio.

"-=jd=-" wrote in message ... If anything left of center can't make it in NYC, then it's time to rethink things. However, it's been my observation that it takes some fairly appalling stuff to fail in NYC. I would guess that one of the main reasons they established a presence in NYC was also the same reason they did _not_ try to crank up a station in the south. Although, I think they would find a receptive audience (perhaps of justifiable size) in Atlanta... -=jd=- They say they're on in Chapel Hill, SC and Key West, FL, but I don't know how much of their programming is carried on these stations. It seems Tampa Bay is a hotbed of talk radio, and they might have some success there, if they can break in. Many of the bigger names in Liberal talk radio have been through the South, such as Tom Leykis, Bob Lassiter and Mike Malloy, although that's mostly Tampa Bay and Maimi for those guys.

FD, For what ever reason, somethings always do well in NYC. So the Question becomes: How will it Play in Peoria ? ~ RHF . . 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: http://www.portlandtribune.com/archview.cgi?id=24645 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. |

: Subject: Air America -- Good Ratings in NY! From: "Frank Dresser" Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave "Diverd4777" wrote in message ... - Quite true; Frank, Air America is quite good.. Have a freind ( Veteran, Korean war) Listens to it regularly. Did they get better? I didn't think they were particularly good last time I heard them, but I did think Franken was OK. Franken's quickly developing radio chops. His conversational interview style often gives me flashes of Arthur Godfrey's best qualities, and then there are the comedy bits, which are improving daily. I'm really enjoying listening to him. The torture segment opening today's show (Franken bound and shirtless, with Lanpher interrogating him using electrified nipple clamps) was just hysterical! All of AA's programming is tightening up since the management change. Morning Sedition remains as entertaining as any "Morning Zoo" show I've ever heard, but more clued-in. Unfiltered, not so much improvement, though Chuck D continues to impress. The best thing about Majority Report continues to be the guest list, second best is how well-informed Janeane Garofolo is, though she's taking longer to develop radio chops than Franken is. She really needs a more experienced radio hand as a co-host and OTJ trainer; Sam Seder just doesn't cut it, mostly he annoys the hell out of me. And Randi Rhodes blows the rest of them away. -- "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. |

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