Air America has announced it's newest radio show:

Meet Air America's newest addition, Emmy award-winning host Montel Williams! His new Air America program is called “Montel Across America,” and it debuts April 6 airing weekdays from 9am-12pm EST on radio stations across the country. It will also be streamed live online at www.airamerica.com.

“Montel is a multi-media star and a familiar name to millions of people across the country,” said Bennett Zier, chief executive officer of Air America Media. “The addition of Montel to our talent line-up is an important step for the continued growth of Air America, as we look to distribute Montel’s show across America.”

“We’re extremely pleased to be able to add such a talented, passionate voice to our programming line-up,” added Bill Hess, senior vice president of programming for Air America Media. “This program will give Montel an outlet to do what he does best--reach people with his probing questions and insatiable quest for knowledge.”

This is ammunition for the right. They couldn't find anyone better? I'll give this show exactly one listen but I'm going to go out on a small limb and say it sucks now, before Montel proves me right.

I hate to kick Air America when they're down, but it's not hard to see they've got hard times ahead. They lost Al Franken to the Senate, Rachel Maddow's show is just her MSNBC show and most damaging, lost Thom Hartmann to Dial Global.

Break Room Live is awesome though, if you haven't heard it, it's pretty funny to me.
