I eagerly awaited Air America coming to our town. I thought it would be interesting. I listened to a program for about 20 minutes before giving up.
I found myself muttering, "I know!", "That's right", "Of course", "No kidding" and the like. I wasn't hearing anything I hadn't already figured out on my own, just from living life.
I guess there is no market for liberal programming because the target audience doesn't need daily reprogramming to keep thinking "right". I suspect that conservative programming is necessary for the right-wing money interests because if those listeners are given a break from the propaganda stream, offered the chance to think about what they're hearing, they're going to start asking questions, uncomfortable questions, because so much of what is in that programming doesn't withstand scrutiny. It just doesn't make sense.
