Why don't we have an Air America television network
that just plays the broadcasts live, like we're seeing on C-SPAN? How much would this cost? Doesn't seem like it would cost much. Additionally, the same advertisers that buy time on satellite would probably be delighted to have an even wider audience.

1. How do you propose to pay for that?
AAR is barely afloat. Also, what cable network is going to put liberal product on the air?

:shrug: And AARs troubles stem a lot from Evan Cohen screwing them out of millions when they 1st came about.

4. Ask Soros, and any number of other ultra rich progressives, to contribute.

9. Welfare TV? TV is a business, if it makes money it lives. AAR couldn't stay on the radio.
It is hard to see how it could make it on TV.

Maybe we should start a writing campaign to get AAR on.

6. I was just thinking - if we could change the FCC and set it up

So that every time the major networks + MSNBC + CNN tell us a lie that has major repurcussions - the FCC must allow and FUND an alternate TV station. Air America and Mike Malloy 24/7 would be my first two choices (not necessarily in that order)
