HBO documentary about AAR coming

[Ivan Sputnik]

"LEFT OF THE DIAL (March 31) captures the turmoil behind the rise and fall and rise of Air America, the first liberal talk-radio network. Almost nobody involved in the network had worked in radio before, and as a result, tempers were constantly flaring off (and occasionally on) the air. Fast-paced, humorous and dramatic, the film charts the intersection of individual hopes and beliefs with the harsh realities of launching a network. Featuring on-air personalities Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo, Chuck D, Randi Rhodes and Marc Maron, the documentary will premiere on the first anniversary of Air America's launch. Directed by Kate O'Callaghan and Patrick Farrelly."

1. Any publicity is good. Hopefully they will make it seem

interesting and entertaining to listen to AAR.

3. should this say 'fall and rise' of AAR...

I noted that earlier in the week where was a thread on DU about a radio station pulling Limbaugh off the air, to now schedule AAR programming... maybe others will follow suit.

4. by "rise and fall and rise"

I think they're referring to the financial and management turbulence at AAR shortly after it launched -- which is, thankfully, behind them now.
