Air America Radio Celebrates 1st Birthday with HBO Documentary

Tomorrow (31 MAR) is the one year anniversary of Air America Radio taking to the airwaves. The right wing said it wouldn’t last and were positively giddy anticipating its failure when AAR was having financial problems early on. Today AAR is doing great and has grown to 51 stations nationwide (None in Tallahassee…yet!) and reaches roughly 50% of the American population. Progressive talk has become one of the hottest formats in the radio industry today!

HBO will be airing a documentary called Left of the Dial that chronicles AAR’s first year. Left of the Dial premieres on HBO tomorrow, Thursday, March 31 at 8:00 PM.

Also, Jerry Springer’s progressive radio talk show debuts on AAR on Friday, April 1 at 9:00 AM (No foolin’!)

Sadly, Springer is replacing my favorite show on AAR: Unfiltered. He better be damn good.
