Re: [IRCA] Air America

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

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.
