Clear Channel Picks Up Air America In Miami
Hotly criticized for close corporate ties to President Bush, Clear Channel earlier this week signed an agreement to broadcast Air America Radio’s liberal-leaning programming on WINZ-AM. The Air America lineup includes Al Franken, Janeane Garafolo, and Randi Rhodes, who coincidentally began her program on another Clear Channel station, WJNO in West Palm Beach. Her program continues to be carried on that station.
According to the Palm Beach Post, given the success of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, Clear Channel apparently decided the Air America hook-up was a natural—at least in Miami.
"It made a lot of sense," Peter Bolger, general manager of Clear Channel-Miami, told the Post. "We saw some impressive numbers from stations doing this format. We also feel South Florida is an ideal market, because it was ground zero in the 2000 election and looks like it will be again this fall."
