Leftist Air America Radio off the air in L.A., Chicago

Sorry for the vanity, but this is information I thought Freepers would like to hear about.

Apparently due to unresolved contractual disputes, the Los Angeles and Chicago affiliates of leftist Air America Radio have pulled the programming from their airwaves and returned to local programming.

I'm hearing this second hand, so if anyone has verifiable information or clarifications, please post them.

ROFLMAO!!!!

There are plenty of liberals in talk radio today who have been around and "paid their dues," but they don't have near the listener base for the reason previously cited (conservaties are must MUCH more engaged overall than liberals ever will be).

Also just heard a diaper rash commercial!

Thought I'd copy over this funny post from the DU thread before it gets pulled.

I just heard that the whole thing is going down due to lack of viable content. From what I heard there is an engineering issue involving broadcast bandwith with little or no substance. It seems that the problem has something to do with not being able to get the signal to punch through air due to lack of mass. Have a nice life as you watch your liberal drivel being sucked into the inky void right along side your political relativism. I think Rush Limbaugh is still on the air if you get bored eating your granola bars and soy milk.

I love this thread.

I know we're not supposed to post crap from DU, but this is obviously from either a FReeper or LGFer...

Okay, so, "Jack Bastardly" how did you set up an account so quickly over there?  All my legit email accounts are already banned.

Good post.

There are a few things that will make a leftist's head simply pop off.

One is to point out how irrelevant they are, and that they will never again in their lifetime have a majority representation of their ideology at the national level.

The other is to point out how they aren't the liberals, we are, and how they are the true fascists.

The Drudge link has shut that site down. Great comment!

[MrB]

Not just Drudge, Rush mentioned them as well.

Drudge is now linking to the DU thread.

Bunch of kooks over there, I tell ya!

I can just picture Al Franken in the studio with his phone being 2 cans held together by a string. The Libs need to let the professionals (Limbaugh, Hannity, Prager, Medved, and Hewitt) do the job around here. Most people probably thought Air America was a new start up low fare airline anyways.

[Redemption]

Is there a way some one can buy that station out? We should donate just to do that and save NYC from this.

[Phantom Lord]

Franken is so out of ideas and stuff to talk about that he is playing a parody about Bennett and gambling! How long ago was that?

[xusafflyer]

You might as well scratch Riverside, CA out. That is Republican heartland. The only dems out there speak Spanish and support Reconquista, not the white democrat party.

[Kirkwood]

I see where they are blaming Bush and the Latinos for this over on the DU site.

[Redemption]

Be sure to boycott that company!

[Semper Paratus]

that sound I hear coming from DUh...sounds like the nashing of teeth to me.

You mean nashing of gums.

[Redemption]

Those communist gums...

[Mike Bates]

I understand Franken was running out of things to say and was replaying conservative radio hosts comments and replying to them.

I noticed he was running out of material, on about the second day.
