Air America was great for the media environment, because they basically kick-started liberal talk over the air.  When they started up there was basically TYT and Thom Hartmann on satellite and that was about it.  Now all of these liberal talk stations have popped up around the country.  They started out taking content from the AAR feed, but found better shows elsewhere after Franken left.  Now there is a thriving market for Liberal talk from several different providers, and the liberal talk stations aren't going away.  So yeah, just because the first company went out of business doesn't mean liberal talk is going away.
