I heard Franken beat Limbaugh in some markets...Is this true?

I heard that in some markets (one of them being NYC) he's actually beaten Limbaugh. That shows that there are a lot of people that want a liberal alternative to Limbaugh.

To add, I myself hope Air America expand to the metro Detroit area. I need something interestin to listen to when commuting. NPR is starting to suck more and more, and the generic clear channel pop/rock/alternative/hip hop stations gets really repetetive. I won't even bother with RW talk radio. That'll just get me too enraged while driving!

2. Yes, it's true. . .

"But in New York, where Air America still broadcasts over WLIB-1190 AM, the network beat Limbaugh's station, Disney-owned WABC, among both 25-to-54-year-olds and 18-to-34-year-olds during the 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. period. In the 25-to-54 demographic, WLIB garnered a 3.4 share to WABC's 3.1; among 18-to-34-year-olds, WLIB won sevenfold with a 2.9 share to WABC's 0.4."

[I thought so.]

3. That is what Al said.

In NYC. WLIB. In Portland Or. KPOJ has had great rating increases also.

4. Randi was beating him in Florida before that.

So he opposed her sindication: if she comes, I go. The wingnut free market rules.
