Err America update. Also, “Jack” gets whacked

If Air America broadcasts in Washington, D.C., but nobody is listening, does it really exist? From the Washington Post:

Air America, the liberal talk network carried on WWRC-AM (1260), went from bad to nonexistent. After WWRC recorded a mere fraction of a rating point in the spring with syndicated shows from the likes of lefty talkers Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo and Stephanie Miller, Arbitron couldn't detect a measurable listenership for the station this time around.

Tee-hee. Also in radio news, New Yorkers have shunned radio format “Jack” which abruptly replaced oldies mainstay WCBS-FM last summer:

New Yorkers have officially — and loudly — rejected "Jack," the controversial format that replaced Cousin Brucie and beloved oldies on WCBS-FM (101.1).
The multi-format, big-playlist, no-DJ format formally debuted in lowly 22nd place in Arbitron's summer ratings — replacing a rebounding WNEW-FM (102.7) as the lowest-rated FM station.
Just last winter, CBS-FM was in ninth place and that wasn't good enough for station-owner Infinity Broadcasting

You shouldn’t mess with Cousin Brucie. (HT: Radio Equalizer)
