Thats the root of the 'problem' is that sure you can (and have) put liberal programming on the AM band. But their target audiance are listening to FM or XM rock, pop, shock, stuff.
There really is not an audiance for programing like Air America hence its failure.
I dont get it its not like there arent already alternative programming out there. NPR comes to mind not to mention the internet and media outlets like CNN.
But hey if you dont like the content of AM conservative radio no one is holding a gun to your head saying "Listen to this or die".
People listen to Rush and his counterparts because they choose to do so. In large numbers no less.
Freedom is about choice and as I see it there are plenty of choices out there.
It just smacks of if you cant compete... silence the competition.
