Venezuela: A new market for Air America?

After reading about misunderstood leftist hero and Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez' plan to shut down the opposition's TV (and presumable radio) station, a thought occured to me: instead of moving to France, could Air America move to Venezuela and offer their services?

Now, hear me out. Without competition, anyone who wanted to listen to the radio would have only one choice. AAR wouldn't have to worry about NPR, Rush, Michael Savage, the local farm report, polka-only programming, and all their other current competition.

Venezuela could even get China to build special radios pre-tuned to the only station in the country. A special transmitter feature could be even built into each radio which would allow government forces to make sure the radio was being played several hours each day and thereby ensuring that AAR would have ratings! And, of course, Chavez would have no fear that they would criticize him. It sounds to me like a win-win for all concerned.

If anyone has a way to get a message to Air America, please suggest this plan to them.

Sorry, the only thing smaller than the number of people listening to Air America is the number of people at Air America listening to anyone.
