Air America coming to Boston...

starting Monday the scrappy liberal talk radio network will be broadcasting on AM 1200 out of Medford and AM 1430 out of Framingham. As an experiment I could pull in AM 1200 as far north as Salem New Hampshire this morning...so the coverage will be pretty far reaching so far as I can see.
I don't think Air America is any type of great white hope for embattled local liberals...but as a means to sharpen ideological warfare in this critical presidential race, it is a welcome thing indeed.
Hopefully this will put some pressure on token radio libs like Jim Braude to re-think their toadying in light of competition from Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo.
Hell if this thing gets Jim Braude off the stick it will be all worth it no matter what the outcome.
