Wait a little while. Air America is a never-ending train wreck. It 
has a mission (deadly) and is owned and managed by non-radio people. 
Same with NovaM.  Now that Dial-Global is getting into the format I 
think you'll see the kind of stability successful Conservative shows 
have had since day one. I suspect the success of Ed Schultz will lead 
the charge.

Dial-Global has professionals running it. They have a very competent 
affiliation team and one of the industry's best sales departments. 
It's still going to take a while to build an affiliate base of good 
stations but I believe they can do it.
