If you read between the lines the story is that he apparently had very few affiliates. Radio One actually appears to be the primary culprit in this... they own the vast majority of the stations where her show would be a natural fit, and won't take it because they already syndicate two other shows.
No syndicated show stays alive without affiliates.
Syndication of Bev's show aside, I think you could put a decent product on the air with Bev and Lynn Cullen as local shows, then syndicated lefties such as Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann and a few others.
