"Air America is Back in Fighting Form"
A generally positive Wall Street Journal article about my favorite radio network:

1. i'll read the article later - thanks for the link
and nice to see that the WSJ might be hedging their bets as to which side's favor to curry.

3. that's good to know
from the link in the OP:
Smaller companies are switching to Air America, too. Last April, Mapleton Communications LLC's KYNS in San Luis Obispo, Calif., transformed itself overnight from conservative talk to Air America. "People turned it on expecting to hear Sean Hannity, and got Al Franken instead," says station manager Nancy Leichter.

The new programming created "a lot of controversy," Ms. Leichter says. But after an initial dip in listeners and advertisers -- she lost a flooring company and a landscaper -- Ms. Leichter saw both numbers pick up again. By late summer, advertising revenue was running almost double what it had been under the conservative format, a pace that continues today.


People are tired of the cacaphony of RW clutter-noise.
