Seems Air America isn't doing too well:
The liberal Air America Radio, just past its first birthday, has probably enjoyed more free publicity than any enterprise in recent history. But don't believe the hype: Air America's left-wing answer to conservative talk radio is failing, just as previous efforts to find liberal Rush Limbaughs have failed.
And look at Air America's ratings: They're pitifully weak, even in places where you would think they'd be strong. WLIB, its flagship in New York City, has sunk to 24th in the metro area Arbitron ratings — worse than the all-Caribbean format it replaced, notes the Radio Blogger. In the liberal meccas of San Francisco and Los Angeles, Air America is doing lousier still.
Unlike most of you, I'd bet, I've spent quite a few hours listening to Air America. It's mostly snide and dull. No surprise it's failing to get many listeners. Lefties say their talk radio does poorly because they're too smart for that medium. Really. OK, keep saying that. Sheesh.
