Air America Update: Theft From Children Going Swimmingly; Ratings, Not So Much

They're claiming that the it was only the precursor corporation to Air America that stole the money. Or something. I tried to read the brief explanation but my eyes gazed over.

The ratings are still in the tank, of course:

Air America's programming is now carried in part or in whole on 67 stations. Most are in smaller markets, such as Albuquerque, N.M.; Albany, N.Y.; and Reno, Nev.

Here [in Philadelphia], it doesn't even register a pulse. The flagship show, hosted by author and former Saturday Night Live comic Al Franken, airs from noon to 3 p.m. weekdays on WHAT (1340 AM).

Both WHAT and the show have fallen off the charts, according to radio-rating service Arbitron, meaning there were too few listeners to measure during the second quarter of this year - the so-called spring book. Franken's show didn't start on the station until Aug. 30.

Shockingly enough, everyone's not at the water cooler saying "Did you hear what Al Franken said this morning?"

Who is this "Al Franken" you speak of?

It takes a village to rob a child.

I believe the children are our future (sources of equity).

It's too cute by half that they didn't add, "Piquant, which is comprised of pretty much everybody involved in all the financial chicanery that went on--except that Cohen dude who we threw over the side and now are setting up to take the fall on this federal rap--would ask that everybody stop looking behind the curtain at this Ponzi scheme we got going to fleece naive liberals."

Whenever I need a laugh, I just think of that dopey hippie chick who sold her bike to contribute to the Dean campaign. In a way, this is even sweeter. You can just picture Franken kicking an aluminum crutch from under one of those spaz kids and runing to the hock shop with it.

When Dead Air America fell like a giant bird dropping here in the Monterey Bay area of CA, the radio station was going to move Phil Hendrie to a late pm time- with the predictable outcry these geniuses failed to see.
The old commies here don't even want this crap polluting the airwaves.

> Al Franken, airs from noon to 3 p.m. weekdays on WHAT (1340 AM).

"Al is on WHAT."
"Alison who?"
"No, Al is on WHAT."
"What?"
"Right, noon to three."
"Nine to three?"
"No, noon to three."
"None to three?"
"No, noon to three."
"Noon to three what?"
"Right."


"WTF."
