What happened with Al Franken on Sundance?
Did it get better ratings than what they previously showed on Sundance?

1. Right after the election they stopped.
Bush probably threatened them

2. What I gather is
that it was only meant to be prior to election day. I think they stopped the Friday after election - he announced the last day on the show, but he did not spell out the exact reasoning..

3. I was hoping Sundance would go in the other direction,
and ADD other "Air America Radio" shows, instead of cancelling their only one.

I bet more people watched Al Franken on Sundance TV than watach Don Imus mornings on MSNBC.

4. Sundance is an NBC network ...
... I think Al was just a "token liberal" to them.
