It's unclear whether or not WCPT will air the entirety of Air America programming, although it seems that Air America will comprise the bulk of the programming.

Personally, I'm not all that enamored of the prospects unless they air Majority Report (which in my opinion was the only Air America show worth listening to when it was on the air in Chicago).
