Air America Alert

I was just perusing the “Out of” Air America Minnesota web site and found what can only be described as a miracle: The station that is giving Right Wingers night sweats and screaming fits has listed three, count ‘em, three paid advertisers. At least I think they’re paid. For all I know the companies are merely “members”.

(Note: Don’t click on the air purifier link; it’ll take you to something that has no relation to the advertiser.)

I wouldn’t say I’m an avid listener, but I like to spend some time each day working on suppressing my gag reflex.

While listening yesterday, I also heard a spot announcing the search for an account executive. This is a station on the move.

Funny thing is, I have yet to hear a paid spot. It’s all PSAs all the time. In fact, if I hear the “Stroke” PSA one more time, I’m going to buy my own schedule on the off chance I can bump it from the rotation.

Now there’s an idea; create a series of satirical spots ripping the Left by supporting their numbskull ideology. They’ll never get it.
