That's what I was wondering... why give DUh all that free press?

All your stations are belong to us ~ Bump!

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

Someone at Err America Radio forgot that commie chit doesn't pass for real currency in the USA :)

BTW - The reason I ask is because I see FReepers spell it that way on occasion. I thought it was an inside FReeper joke (that I'm not in on...heheh) like "all your base" or "maroon".

Next thing you know, Tim Slobbins will be on CNN screaming "Censorship! Censorship!"

It appears the station owners switched back to their regular Spanish programming, probably after significant listener criticism. It's weird they would do that, if they had a contract with Airbag. They must feel they have some kind of back door inthe agreement.

If this is the way it went down, there is no way they will go back to broadcasting ABA. I see hordes of attorneys swooping down and picking up some ABA cash.

It was obviously a posting by a FReeper over there, but it wasn't mine. I only copied the source code from the DU site. It's one of the icons they make available. Blame them. They probably don't know any better.

[Bob J]

Gotcha, thought it was your post.

[KOZ.]

yeah no prob, i just read the other posts.
i'll place my bet if it reopens.
good luck!

[blackie]

Gotta watch those commie chits. :)

By the way, did anybody else get spammed by Air America? I had a message about how great they are land in account I only use for posting to one particular political blog. That account gets almost no legitimate emails, oodles of Nigerian scams, and now this.

The company you keep, eh?

Druges holds grudge?

[sarasota]

Sure Druge visits us. He just doesn't want his audience to know the most timely source of his material.

Why hasn't Err America been "Freeped"?

[GeronL]

They may not make it to May 1...lol

The Chicago station is a Spanish-format station. Apparently there's some sort of bankruptcy issue going on.

[GeronL]

"MultiCultural Radio Broadcasting's conduct in this matter has been disgraceful. To shut off a broadcast that listeners rely onwithout warning and in the middle of discussions is the height of irresponsibility and a slap in the face of the media industry. In addition, it is a clear violation of their contractual obligations, and we are seeking legal remedies against them in court."

rely on??? hahahahahahahaaha

[GeronL]

Rush said there was a rumor that their checks bounced!!!!!

Evientally the investors only pledged their money....
