Air America up in Minneapolis ratings

[Donna Halper]

As some of us speculated, so far, this still seems to be a niche format, 
but it performs well in some cities.  In the recent Minneapolis/St Paul 
book, Air America's overall ratings were flat, but Al Franken continued to 
see ratings growth: in the past eight months, his audience share has risen 
to a 2.4 percent in the 25 to 54 demo; in AAR's first book when KTNF 
switched over to progressive talk, he had only a 1.3...I am told Ed Schultz 
is also pulling some good numbers 25-54 in Minneapolis.
