Despite the constant right-wing rants about how AAR is due for an untimely demise, the first ratings have come in, and they are stellar: Air America Radio even beat out Rush Limbaugh in New York among target audiences. In Chicago, it shot the local station's ratings up 2000%, despite being pulled off the air after 28 days due to a billing dispute.
"If this is how we're doing now, imagine what things will be like when we actually know what we're doing," Franken said.
The ratings are preliminary, but prove one thing that conservatives will hate to hear: AAR is popular and has a good future in radio. So much for the naysaying and death knells from the right.
