Al Franken Kicks Limbaugh's Cyst-Filled Butt in Early Ratings Jillian Jonas writes, "While the radio industry -- and right-wing critics in particular -- have written extensively about the imminent collapse of AAR* and its untried business plan, they may be in for a surprise. AAR's Arbitrend estimated ratings for April in the New York area have been very encouraging. 'We have proof of concept!' enthused Sinton in an interview with United Press International. For the 10 a.m.-3 p.m. time slot, among the coveted demographic of 25- to 54-year-olds, AAR received a 3.4 radio share, beating WABC's conservative talk-radio programming that includes Rush Limbaugh. WABC received a 3.1 share. Even younger listeners are tuning in: Among 18- to 34-year-olds, AAR received a 2.9 share, compared with WABC's 0.4 share during the afternoons... For Sinton, the numbers show 'the momentum is good. The ratings indicate we can look forward to good things. And the proof of concept helps to bring in money in venture capital ... and in selling ads. Hallelujah!'
