I kinda knew the hissing, and spitting venom would be coming out on this one! LOL! Maybe this is a place to discuss free speech and the lefty's "Fairness in Radio Broadcasting' since lefty radio has been such a flop up until the Obama age. That fairness would of course not be extended to TV or print media where the leftys seem to dominate.
The early beginings of Air America are pretty interesting. Some may remember Franken Radio. That's Al 'Landslide' Franken's (SNL drop out) home base. He worked for free as the deal was near BK due to thieft, fraud, few listeners and next to no stations. It was a real grass roots radio station incorporated in Guam with very unclear start up funding. I believe there were some arrests made due to stealing from a Black Boys and Girls Club fund in the NY City ghetto.
I think Air America (funny name as that was the secret CIA airline from days gone by) is doing OK now with more stations, better programming and new owners.
Ron RayGun and Rachel Maddox seem to be the current big guns. They now are doing a much better job of it. You can visit the AA web site and see the venom fly.

It's kinda fun watching this battle while the gov't screws things up and not much useful gets done.
