Air America in Boston?

[NewHampshireDem]

How can we bring Air America to a Boston-area station? Has anyone taken steps? What steps can we take? Thoughts and ideas are appreciated!

3. I've tried WMTW out of Portland, but

I can't get it reliably here in SE New Hampshire. :(

6. Nashua?

We can probably get that station in Boston.

5. Seriously, in Northampton?

That rocks! :bounce:

Rachel Maddow, who calls herself the "unfamous one" on Unfiltered, did a morning show in Northampton until she went to AAR.

Has anyone in Mass. tried to get AAR on Plattsburgh/Burlington - WTWK 1070? That may come in better than WLIB 1190 out of NYC. I'll try that this evening.

Here in west-central MA, I can occasionally get 1190 well, but there's a lot of interference from a high-power station that seems to originate somewhere near Detroit.

2. i've been toLd it's in the works

4. Send them an email with your location, and tell you neighbors to also.

A station in Boston might be difficult/expensive. But maybe a smaller town deal (like a college or liberal area) might make more financial sense for them....

7. I'd love to see this

But in my office here in SE Mass, I can barely get WBUR, let alone stations in Nashua or NoHo. I end up listening on the computer instead.

8. Yes, yes

You'd think that AAR would have started in Boston...it is, after all, the home of a Democratic mayor in a Democratic state in a HUGELY Democratic region. Anyway, I want AAR to come here because I'm sick of fighting for it on the Web when I want to listen.
