(BURBANK, California)--Air America, the liberal leaning radio network has announced that the ratings have doubled since its inception earlier this year.
Ned Willkins, 31, of Bridgeport, Connecticut became the second listener of the "O'Franken Factor'.
"I just turned it on when I was in my garage working on my lawnmower, and it really felt like Al was talking just to me" Willkins said Sunday.
According to Arbitron, the company responsible for radio ratings, Ned was correct. He was the only person tuned in to the broadcast.
Air America's first listener, Janine Garofalos' niece, Ashley Teegan Reynolds, says she only listens when grandpa is on with her aunt. Otherwise, she says, "she just bitches too much"
Al Franken, who was in one scene of the 1983 movie "Trading Spaces", was rather upset by this notion that nobody listens to his show.
"This is just another right-wing fascist conspiracy put out by the radical Christian right in an effort to target me for the ovens that Dubya is constructing to conceal his hate crimes against this and many other planets" Franken said in a statement released by his publicist, who also frankly admitted to not listening to his show either.
Air America is currently heard on almost thirty radio stations, mostly small teeny tiny AM ones, and in markets where they get their ass handed to them every quarter. You can also listen to them on the internet, but who really wants to do that.
((UPDATE--Al Franken to tackle me in a public place in 5, 4, 3......))
