KSMM and WMIN have a combined 0.8.<br \/>\nIn New York City, WLIB is back to where it was before AA made it the flagship station (it was broadcasting in like Korean, I think), and WABC still has over three times as many listeners.<br \/>\nYep, this is a successful operation.<br \/>\nAnd once again, it proves not that liberals can&#8217;t do talk radio &#8212; that&#8217;s not what it proves at all.
