Just an observation: I'm from central Ma. and in my location there is one
Airamerica station within normal listening distance until sundown. Since
WLIB 1190 has switched from AA there is no Airamerica in central Ma at night
as the new 1600 station does not penetrate well here even with my set up,
and Massachusetts is supposed to be a "liberal" state. But I can find
conservative talk shows up and down the dial any time of the day here, Rush,
Savage, Reagan, Drudge, (the last three at night from NY) on and on. Most
people that I know who would probably be part of Airamerica's target
audience do not know of and have never heard of Airamerica. I just wonder if
lack of publicity (read: money) could have something to do with their
bankrupcy. I drove straight through NY city today on I-95 and could not
receive the 1600 station until I was almost on top of Manhatten and lost it
falrly quickly as I hit Connecticut. I am not going to offer any more
opinions of it's impending downfall as I think it had money problems right
from the beginning and some of it's programming was a little off the wall,
but If they had had more great talkers like Lionel from WOR perhaps they
could have been be more successful. I still listen and think Al Franken is
great and right on the money 99% of the time, also the same with Lionel on
WWKB 1520.

In most cities, Air America's ratings were comparable to the numbers
garnered by Salem's conservative talk stations.
That's kind-of an average. In some cities, Salem does a bit better, and in
others, Air America wins.
But it's about equal.
There's an audience for both liberal and conservative talk, and it makes
sense for even the staunchest supporter of either format to listen to
opposing points occasionally to do a validity check on one's own views.
I listen to both, but I do listen to Air America more.
