One Day Till Air America Airs

Well, the day has finally come (presuming the sun rises again tomorrow): Air America, the left-wing radio station featuring Al Franken’s three-hour talk show, “The O’Franken Factor,” launches tomorrow, March 31. It will be a momentus moment when I move my radio off of WNYC to a new station, but I can hardly wait: WLIB 1190 AM (in the NY area), here I come.

Since I suspect the site will shoot to the top of Daypop tomorrow, I want to get my link in early. Sadly, I see that they’ve already made a mess out of their web site(s). First mistake, they named the company something that they don’t have the domain for. Second, they can’t even make up their mind what domain to go with at this point, so they appear to have two web sites right now: CentralAirMedia.com and AirAmericaRadio.com. And both sites look like they were designed by a high school student was a few weeks of HTML training.

Whatever. I’m ready to love the station no matter what, at this point (having not yet heard whether it’s any good). Aside from the excitement surrounding Franken’s show, I’m eager to check out the morning show hosted by another hero of my youth, Chuck D of Public Enemy fame. Promises to be weird, at least.
