Is it just me? Or is there a lot of dead air on Air America Radio?
It seems sometimes, when I tune in, there is nothing, just white noise.

I live in Austin, but you folks in other markets, do you have this problem too?

1. Email the station-I don't have AAR so I don't know.

2. Are you streaming it from your computer?
On some links from local stations, they "blank out" commercial breaks for the stream.

I'm listening to WLIB, and I've seldom heard dead air — only a few moments before the top of the hour news.

4. Our local affiliate does that too.
It must be completely automated, with nobody actually there, because they will have overlapping programs/commercials or dead air that goes on for many minutes on occasion. This is in Columbus, Ohio.
