Air America “alive and well”

What looked like a one-trick pony with a limited agenda, and it was, has legs and is on the verge of covering half the nation.

Air America, featuring Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo, who have renewed interest in staying aboard, now has advertising revenue “that makes it look like we are in the middle of year two,” said founder Jon Sinton of the eight-month-old network.

Sinton admits the mission was to defeat Bush in November but four more years with plenty to talk about will help Air America stay aloft.

Maybe Sinton should mix up the format with good music in some day parts; jazz, blues, the best of rock. Sinton lives in Atlanta, commutes to New York. The story is in today’s AJC.
