It's not like you can just pick any station you want or they would have picked WABC-AM! All the radio bands were licensed so finding a free station at any given time is a crap shoot. WWRL was actually a step up from their previous NYC flagship, WLIB, where they could only broadcast at night.WWRL at that time was a very low power station with only 5,000 watts, as opposed to Limpball's WABC-AM which was 50,000 watt "blowtorch." WABC-AM was the strongest station on the radio in my Jersey Shore area and WWRL could not be picked up at all. WABC-AM could be picked up in Canada! So not only were there few stations carrying Air America, the stations that did were low power stations.
When Limbaugh started he was on one station, on the weekends in Sacramento, Ca. He built himself up and made it work, he was funny and entertaining.
Not anyone's fault but Air America's fault, that it went under. Clear Channel backed Air America originally. So again Ed, quit trying to blame others for Air America choosing a small flagship station.
Air America was on Sirius but that didn't help them either.
Dude takes a Ron Burgundy avatar and then thinks he knows how broadcasting works.
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. More like a spoon.
