Franken Correction

This statement, which appeared in Ned Rice's “The Drudgery Report,” contains errors: "As opposed to Air America, whose Al Franken-hosted morning show currently draws fewer listeners in New York City than its predecessor on the dial: a veritable ratings juggernaut of all-Caribbean music and chit-chat.

The Al Franken show is on from Noon-3 PM on WLIB/1190 AM. It is not Air America’s morning show.

The Al Franken show did draw in more listeners in NYC than its predecessor, Caribbean music on 1190 AM: in the Winter 2005 Arbitron Audience Listening Estimates, The Al Franken Show had a cumulative weekly audience of 189,600 25-54 Adults, compared to Winter 2004 when WLIB had a “cume” audience of 150,300 during the same time. Expressed as a percentage share of average quarter listeners among 25-54 year old adults, The Al Franken Show beat the previous incarnation of WLIB 2.0-1.3.
