Air America continues to expand

When it launched shortly after our blog went up about ten months ago, Air America Radio was an innovative concept that faced a lot of hurdles and challenges in its first few weeks.

But since then, Air America has flourished. And it continues to expand, reaching new markets and picking up new affiliates.

The progressive network now can be heard in 46 markets, including recently added stations in the Washington, Cincinnati and Brattleboro, Vt.

Air America has just landed in Memphis, Tennessee, as well. And we have this excerpt from Reuters about even more expansion:
By the end of the month, the network that began in just six cities on March 31, 2004, then nearly collapsed weeks later amid financial woes, will have spread to 50 stations nationwide, including outlets in 15 of the top 20 markets, among them New York, Washington, D.C., Miami, Boston, Atlanta and Philadelphia.

It will even venture into Bush's home state of Texas with a launch on a Corpus Christi station later this month.
