Air America, the liberal radio network that had a rocky takeoff last spring, has struck a deal to land in Washington.

The arrangement with WRC-AM comes as the fledgling network is gaining altitude, announcing yesterday that it has re-signed star personality Al Franken to a multiyear contract, raised $13 million in new financing and named Rob Glaser, chief executive of RealNetworks, as its chairman.

3. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!

That's the best news I've heard in a long time! Kind of surprised it's WRC though.

11. Yes, WRC is Clear Channel

and I read somewhere that Randi Rhodes has been complaining about Clear Channel telling her not to talk about the vote problems.

Don't know if she was joking or what.

I've been listening on the internet when I can. So I'm very excited about being able to listen in the car as well as in other parts of my house!!!

4. That's Great!!

The only thing I'm able to listen to here is sports radio.

5. Awesome news!

Decent radio at last!

DC-area radio programming is dismal, especially when you've been spoiled by growing up in the New York radio market in the 60s.

Oh happy day!

:toast:

7. Rob Glaser?

That is not insignificent.

8. Thank God.

I was thinking about writing them a letter because with all this Republican brainwashing on our AM stations I thought we were in trouble. Now we have something to counteract this. I hope I can get a good signal in Baltimore, MD.
