Washington (AP) - The liberal radio network Air America is about to land on the airwaves in Washington.

The Washington Post reports an agreement has been made with WRC-AM to broadcast the programming. WRC or 1260 am plans to drop its syndicated sports talk in favor of the network which just recently re-signed its star personality Al Franken to a multiyear contract.

People familiar with the deal say it gives WRC's owner, Clear Channel Communications, a "blue state" station to balance its "red state" programs on WTNT 570, which includes conservative hosts G. Gordon Liddy and Laura Ingraham.

Air America will debut in Washington on January 20th, with Franken broadcasting from President Bush's second inauguration.

It's currently on in 40 cities, including New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
