According to RealNetworks, Air America had over 2 million streamers the first week:

KOS quotes Randi Rhodes as saying they hit 6 million streamers, and I'm looking for substantiation:

2. they must be getting some good numbers

from somewhere, because it seems like they have a new sponsor or two every day (and I listen all day every day). This has to be a good sign, tho I don't have a clue how radio revenue works.

4. It's not a news channel...

It supposedly now has nothing to do with politics. Just another 18-25 network...

7. I stand corrected...

I heard the "not political, not liberal" and the "for young people" and thought it was another Spike TV x MTV kind of network.

I guess it is still a news organization though. Interesting.

It sounds like he is trying to make an entire network based on MTV News.

Could be interesting.
