Leftist Air America Radio off the air in L.A., Chicago
grapevine ^ | April 14, 2004 | unattributed

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.

Sounds like SOP for leftists.

Someone else ALWAYS pays for their behaviors.

Not one to wallow in others' pain, I have to say, this news is so hilarious. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of fake malcontents.

They do have a left-wing radio tax... It is called NPR.

OMG that DU thread is funny. Every time I think I recognize a plant in one of the foamy-mouthed ones he or she turns up later to have been legit. Wow.

Two big 1000 watters.

For an interesting read, go to the Usenet forum ba.broadcast (here's the Google link). This forum is where the Bay Area radio engineers hang out. On the early threads on Air America, they talk about the Berkeley Chinese-language station that was taken over, its output, station class, etc.

Most are Lefties, some are DJs, all are a bit possessive of the forum. They hate political left/right debates and prefer the posters to stay on topic (art and science of radio broadcasting).

Well it is looking like Geroge Soros is little more than part of the condiment bar lineup these days--a little mayo with your ketchup.

The phrase It couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people really applies here.

I knew that Air America Radio wouldn't last that long given that Americans would tire of the non-stop Bush bashing in a New York minute. But two weeks is just too precious for two of the biggest markets in the USA!

It's not because there weren't multitudes craving to listen to their assinity, it's just cause asses don't own radios.

Good philosophical and science question...if a liberal whines in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?

AIR AMERICA 'BOUNCES CHECK'; LIBERAL RADIO NET TAKEN OFF AIR IN LOS ANGELES, CHICAGO AFTER ONLY TWO WEEKS
Wed Apr 14 2004 16:18:43 ET

After just two weeks on the air, Air America Radio, the fledgling liberal talk-radio network featuring Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo, appears to have encountered serious cash-flow problems.
