Air America Media continues to take control of its own destiny.

The news follows the network’s decision two months ago to bring its affiliate sales in-house and the creation earlier this year of AAM Syndication.
The gamble is that the network, which recently rolled out new programming hosted by Montel Williams, Rachel Maddow, Ron Reagan, Lionel and Ron Kuby, will lead to increased distribution beyond the current 60 affiliates, in order to present a more attractive reach proposition for advertisers.
