Air America To Hit DC
Air America Media is coming to Washington on radio 1050 AM through a local marketing agreement with Bonneville International Corporation. The LMA will enable Air America to broadcast show hosts like Rachel Maddow, Montel Williams, Lionel, Ron Reagan and others throughout the national capital region. Air America will manage programming, marketing, and sales operations for the facility, beginning later this month.

The station's new call letters, on-air launch date, programming line-up and other details not yet announced.

1. Good. It's crazy that there was no liberal station in D.C. nt

2. wow, Montel, Lionel, AND Reagan.

4. Ron Reagan, not the "very independent" Michael Reagan

who is a douche of the first order.

I've never heard Ron Reagan's show -- didn't even know he had one, but he's always struck me as a pretty cool dude, especially considering the circumstances of his upbringing.

5. I like his show

He's pretty laid back, but has a nice dry sense of humor. He's not must-listen radio, but if I'm in my car when he's on, I enjoy listening to him.

3. Excellent! I hope this AM station has enough power to reach some of the more ...

*communist counties* of Northern Virginia. :-)



Note: *term coined by John McCain's brother during the Election run-up)

6. Cool

I've missed not having Air America on 1260 AM, even if it was the worst station ever. There was some kind of timing problem so the end of each ad break would overlap the start of the next segment for about 15-20 seconds (I don't understand why they never fixed this). And did we really need three hours of Lionel TWICE A DAY?

Anyway, glad to have it back :thumbsup:
