The only competent broadcaster on Air America is Ed Schultz. At least he can argue a point. Other than that….what a joke.

I’ve lived in Austin for over 3 years and never knew there was an Air America station here. 590 and 1370 seem to dominate the AM talk radio and they are conservative, newsworthy and entertaining.

I’m not surprised, as there are still lots of conservatives on the fringes of Travis County but we’re just outnumbered.

Ronnie Earle must be crying to sleep every night now.

I’m in Austin and had no idea there was an Air America station here. There are too many lefty nutjobs in this town… If AA can’t make it in a town like this, they’re doomed to failure.

When the last Air America station shuts down, I’d be willing to wager that it’ll be in Portland, Oregon. It’s the only mid-sized city I know of that has two rabid left-wing radio stations, one each for the AM and FM dials

They took my favorite right-wing talk radio off the FM band and converted it to a Spanish music station. It’s still on AM, but the reception sucks.

I’ll tell you why “right” radio does well – the hosts are intelligent, the talk is interesting, and it’s incredibly entertaining. That’s because there are no whiners. If I want to listen to people whine, I’ll just listen to my kids.

That’s funny! I wondered what happened to it. I live in Austin and sometimes I flip from AM 1370 to AM 1600 just to see what they’re talking about. The other day I flipped to 1600 and it was Tejano music. I had no idea what had happened, but I assumed that Air America got canned. Austin is full of very misguided liberals. I’m suprised that it didn’t do better here.

Keep on exceeding your Congressional authority and visit those leaders of terror states while agitating our allies to such an extent that their parliament votes to invade Iraq within 24 hours of your worthless and ill advised gesture regarding an incident that occurred over 100 years ago.

Jim M., thoughtful comments. I believe the Dems purposefully tried to annoy Turkey in order to stir up trouble in Iraq. It’s a last gasp attempt to derail any progress there. If things are looking better there in 2008, Hillary will have a much tougher time. If there ever was a “question the timing” issue, this would be it.

“Can’t even pull 1 percent in Austin, TX? Amazing but true. don’t ask me why. This is a city that is overwhelmingly Democratic, but the right-wing talk radio stations in town consistently get much better ratings

Um, the right-wing stations consistently get better ratings, and this guy can’t figure out why? Idiot.

This was an affiliate better than many, not as good as others.

Now if that ain’t a ringing endorsement, I don’t know what is…

Wow. As an Austinite, this is news to me. Not only did I not listen to that radio station, I also don’t subscribe to the Statesman. Same reason for both.
