Robert Redford's Sundance channel is going to start carrying Al Franken's radio show. Beginning in September and running through the election, one hour of Franken's program will air at 11:30 PM and again at 2:30 AM each weekday.

Air America has been floundering as of late, but Franken's picking up an actual paid syndication is a positive sign. Hopefully the network will find it's niche and succeed. As a fan of that hate filled extreme right wing talk radio, I worry about the return of the fairness doctrine. If liberals fail at talk radio, they are sure to try legislation and the courts to bring it down.
