17. Franken talked about it on Leno, and it was on PBS
Jon Sinton has been hired by some wealthy Democrats. They've put up more than $20 million to start a liberal radio talk network they hope will tap a largely unserved audience.
-----
He says liberal talk radio failed in the past because people won't tune in to a liberal on a conservative talk station any more than they'll tune in for rock 'n roll on a country music station.
------
So, Sinton's network will offer liberal programming 24/7, with an emphasis on humor and satire.

Al Franken, the comedian, will be one of his headliners.

I think it's suppose to be ready around the time of the primaries or something.
