They are a bit much but they seem to be catching on: http://shows.airamericaradio.com/stations
Read further and you'll find that many of those stations can barely broadcast beyond 5 miles.
It's official, the flagship station WLIB now has less ratings than the Carribean format station that preceded it.
Why would advertisers pay for what NPR gives away for free everyday?
NPR is fine -- there is some damn good reporting and reporters on NPR. You'll hear stories on NPR that you'll no where else -- fine objective reporting on parts of the world that cable and network TV news don't even know exits...
Yes, Air America is on some cheapass stations (way more AM stations than I thought -- If they really want to make a difference they need to be on FM). But it is surviving and its lasting a lot longer than what conservatives had predicted.
I am a former member of NPR.
There are many things I like about it. Their coverage of some topics is best on the dial -- hands down. Car Talk, Fresh Air, radio expeditions, etc...
Last year, though, it's like their left lean became a left tilt - esp. during the Presidential campaign. Their favoritism was more strident than ever.
I called them this year during their fund drive to let them know why I wasn't renewing my membership.
Maybe I'll listen again regularly, but with XM, the iPod, and regular radio, they've got to appeal to a wider audience in my opinion.

You're right. They need to play more Hendrix!
