YOU Can Bring Air America Radio to Iowa!Air America Radio is coming to Iowa! Well, that is, if you follow this easy recipe. There are just a few ingredients you need to bring progressive talk radio to your town and your local station. Why let Rush Limbaugh have the last (or only) word on everything? Davenport was the first in Iowa to pick up Air America at WKBF-AM 1270 – and the popular liberal talk-radio format is working for them, so why not have Air America Radio all across Iowa?
Progressive radio is just good business. According to the Portland Tribune, since KPOJ switched from oldies music to the new Air America network in March, 2004, the progressive format has made the station one of the most listened-to in Portland. The number of listeners jumped from an average of 33,000 with the old format to almost 127,000 in the first six months with Air America. “We got advertisers who don’t normally advertise,” says Mike Lulich, national sales manager for Clear Channel Radio Portland, KPOJ’s parent. “In the end, advertisers come to the station because they know their customers like the format.” And, of course, because there are so many more of them.
