Air America lands funding, reups Franken
 

This headline made it sound like Air Amerika had gotten some type of public
funding, but it was just more money being pumped in by its investors.

Hmmm.... I thought commercial radio was supposed to be funded by
commercials. Or maybe that's only when it produces a commercially viable
product.

"suposed to" ?

Huh ?

There's private companies and public companies. The owners of a
private companies get to keep all the profits and don't have to listen
to grumbling stockholders at the annual public meeting, or report lots
of stuff to the SEC. There are reasons why companes go public, but in
general they wish they didn't have to. (stock speculation is a whole
other discussion.)

It took several years for Fox Cable to need private funding.

They seem to be doing fine, about 40 stations, plus XM, Serius,
and internet streaming.

TB,

Your repeated posts with the same message that is unrelated to the
original posting is oh so boring.


You are a perfect example of the NEO-DEM Political Cadre; who are
'preachers' of Class Warfare, Hate Speech and Fear Mongering.


You apparently see anyone who does not feel and believe as you do
as an Enemy-of-the-People.

All startups are funded by investor.

It took several years for Fox Cable to [not] need private funding.

Several years, and much more than $100,000,000 of financing. For a
piddly million viewers at any given time, tops. Usually much less than
500,000.

In contrast, Air America Radio usually has more than a quarter million
listeners just on its web stream, probably 3 or 4 million on the radio at
any given time. And Air America just came out of the gate in April.

The AQH on AA on radio is less than 250,000.

DE,

To a Political Cadre like "TB": 250,000 has a "Propaganda Factor" of
Ten Times (10X) which means 2.5M; then you have to count the Doubling
Factor (2X) of those who would have listened; had they known that they
should be listening; which makes the 'new-reality-number' about 5M.

So when "TB" claims 3M to 4M divide by 10 to 20 and 300K to 200K is
a 'fair' estimate.

Really? That's very interesting information, thanks.

Sampled when? The most recent quarterly book?

October trend. And I gave benefit of the doubt for the non-rated markets
like Key West. The actual measured figure is probaby more like 175,000.

I'd also be very interested to know what the AQH is for the
individual programs.

Also, I have read elsewhere that Rush's AQH is about 3 million. Is
this correct?

That is the range. His cume is much higher.

How many if you include Sirius, XM and the WWW?

Mediocrity always attracts big numbers. What's #1 on the TV? Who
watches that ****?
