Reply #7: I'm not surprised.

They started out chaotically, and the chaos never ended.

Right wing radio evolved ...over decades, and was always well funded/supported.

Air America tried to hit the ground fully-formed and ready to do battle with the gargantuan network of righties.. It was a folly from the get-go.

and they also tried to be "entertaining", instead of being hard-hitting & fact-based.

Most of what they produced, was not all that great long-term.

Right wingers knew that they needed a few "stars"...and they took decades to buid up, but most of their force was in the 2nd & 3rd tier..the farm team..

By cross-pollination & guest hosting each other's "shows", they created new markets for each other..

and since marketing & advertising is the life-blood of radio, we were at a disadvantage from day one.


It's kind of surprising they lasted this long.. So long, AA
