Who thinks AAR should start some entertainment programming?

[burythehatchet]

some of us listen to AAR all day, especially on the weekend. Its the only reason I keep cable service.

It would be nice to take a break with a comedy skit, or a musical review of an indy artist. More like WorldLink TV.

Don't ya think?

2. No, No, No

Want comedy or entertainment? ..... go to your TV, rent a video or DVD or go to the movies.
Air America should be progressive talk all day, all night, all the time.

3. Let me tell you why that's wrong, on principle

you want people to stay tuned. The same theme all day long would wear most people out - those who are not devoted investigators of the truth. You want to keep them attracted by offering some variety, some sensory stimulation other than revolution.

6. Thank you ,thank you, thank you

Aren't two third rate comics (Mark M. in the morning and Sam S. at night) masquarading as talk show hosts enough?

12. uh uh..........

don't they already do this? maybe not as much as you like but Sat. PM's they have a music show on. And Franken is a comedy show......sort of. RR is comedy sometimes(at least I think so). It's comedy mixed with the truth. And the guy who comes on at 7PM weekdays offers all those things. He is a very good mix of life.

13. They could have "15 minutes From the Underground"

I'm sure they could get some pretty entertaining comments from this crowd... :)
