Liberal Radio Network Launches March 31st

According to their website,
"Air America Radio is launching in the top U.S. markets with leading talent that will provide compelling and entertaining programming on the radio, on satellite feeds, and on the web," said Mark Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of Air America Radio.
The leading talent includes Al Franken who will host "The O'Franken Factor" from noon to 3pm weekdays and Janeane Garofalo who will host "The Majority Report" from 8 to 11pm weeknights. Franken will be "fighting back against rightwing propaganda with hard evidence and facts." Garofalo "will introduce new, younger voices and opinions" to the airwaves. And, as Evan Cohen, Chairman of the board of Air America Radio, states:
"Our success to date proves what we have known all along: a progressive radio network can be entertaining and engaging while also being a successful business venture. . . ."
Obviously, I am out of the information loop on this subject since I'm totally unaware of any "success to date." Nevertheless, I'll be scanning my radio dial to be entertained. Actually, if the buildup is true and Al Franken confronts his nemesis, hard evidence and facts, while on the air, I'll be more than entertained. I'll be mezmerized.
