Balancing the unbalanced. Is there a market for commercial "liberal radio"? Probably not. Is there a market for commerical liberal rant radio? From the sound of it, there just might be - not just for the insane True Believers at the far left end of the spectrum, but for people like me, who, unhappy with the available selection of music, have been known to seek out and set our car radio buttons for the most wacko stations, for the entertainment value. (And I don't mean Limbaugh, whom I don't get on any level - the few times I've listened he was rambling, disorganized and boring.)

At present these stations pile up on the right end of the spectrum. But if what Jane and Cadeusus are reporting is representative, Air America has potential, baby. If that potential is fulfilled, I can set it up to toggle with my preffered righto station, for maximum comic effect. (I toggle with NPR right now, but that doesn't quite deliver the symmetrical, harmonious effect I'm looking for.)
