Take That, Naysayers

Despite ongoing financial woes, Air America Radio appears to have garnered a significant audience during its first month on the air, particularly among the younger listeners sought by advertisers.

An analysis of recently released figures from Arbitron, the radio ratings service, showed that in New York Air America beat Rush Limbaugh’s station among 25-to-54-year-olds during the period that Limbaugh and Al Franken, the host of the flagship show “The O’Franken Factor,” go head-to-head.

AAR did a lot better in the ratings than expected.

That’s one in the eye for all the conservablather I’ve seen in recent news articles and columns (with more than few positive mentions).

Heh, “Franken Crushes Limbaugh in Arbitron Ratings.” I like that.
