04/21/2004 Archived Entry: "Microbroadcasting Air America"
Litlnemo at Slumberland is microbroadcasting Air America! "Well, why sit around and wait for some local station to start broadcasting? We have the Internet. Sure, you say, but what good does that do if we want to get away from our desktop computer? Here's what good it does. It makes it possible for us to broadcast Air America content ourselves if we want to. Over the public airwaves. Just like the network affiliates. We, as in, 'any random schmuck with an Internet connection and $35-45 to spend.' And it's legal, too."
So she's got her transmitter up and running! "From 3am to 8pm daily you can hear Air America on 87.9 FM, if you are in the vicinity of Stevens Place Park at Beacon Avenue South and South Stevens Street." I think this is a good notion since Air America doesn't have a local outlet yet. I'll confess, I haven't listened online except to the interview with Jon Stewart.

Hee. :) I'm still getting used to her "New Yorkness" which is a tiny bit off-putting to a Seattleite like me. She is good, though.

'Nemo!
Tell, um, those people that they rock. I appreciate every day I can hit my AM dial and hear Air America. Especially Randi Rhodes. She is a hoot!

Notice that I never actually said that *we* were the ones transmitting... ;-)
But, yeah, that's our transmitter. Whether anyone but us is listening, I don't know yet.
