‘everything is going very well,” says Sheldon Drobny of his new project, the much-publicized move to create a liberal talk-radio network. “We’re moving along toward being on the air in early January. In fact, we’re going to be on the air in a very big way.”

Drobny is a multi-millionaire venture capitalist in Chicago. Along with his wife Anita, he has put $ 10 million into what the New York Times has called “the most ambitious undertaking yet to come from liberal Democrats who believe they are overshadowed in the political propaganda wars by conservative radio and television personalities.” To run the network, the Drobnys created a company called AnShell Media, and they have spent the last several months looking for investors willing to put more money into the venture.
