Was the pool for shutting down just one (or two) stations, or for the whole thing to fold?

Source?

Do you mean that ErrAmerica already lost two of the, what, 6 stations it had at the beginning?

[Cicero]

Interesting, if true. Do you have a source for this?

I would have expected them to keep going through November 5, no matter how much money they lost. If they shut down earlier than that, I would interpret it as meaning not only that the operation is losing money, which was inevitable, but that it is failing to do anything useful for the propaganda effort as well.

I think it will limp along until November 3rd. On the Morning After another Pubbie landslide, it will whimper and die quietly.

Mentioned to my wife this AM that I hadn't heard anything about "our friends." Wonder if the mainstream media will report their demise as much as they reported their "coming?"

Is it too late to get April 15???

I knew it fromo the beginning that this "liberal" experiment would fail. For crying out loud, TV has already been taking by Liberals long time ago.

Mr. Franken et al didn't do a proper market research.

Wait a minute. I wonder how much of the 'seed money' is unspent, and where it is going to go from here? They has what, $30 mil to play with?

[Grammy]

You missed me! I said July 1, but it is beginning to look as though I was WAAAAYYYYY too generous.

Dead Pool ping!

[mabelkitty]

Put me in for January (whatever the day after the Inauguration of President Bush is).

They will keep it afloat as a propoganda machine, then quietly kill it.

[threat matrix]

They only had 4 to begin with, that is half their output!

[Yaelle]

Ha ha ha! Lost his station in L.A., did the poor miniature Al? Where some people even LIKE him!

What are people doing with his books, using them as high chairs for their kids?

[ladyinred]

Ah, I wonder how President Bush managed to shut them down? :-)

[reagan_fanatic]

The news just keeps getting worse for Airbag America. The next thing you know, Clyde the farmer is gonna ask 'em to move their studios out of his tool shed so he can put it to better use.

[KOZ.]

or am i too late?

[tdadams]

Thought I should post this before it gets deleted from the thread running on DU.

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.

Statement Regarding WNTD in Chicago and KBLA in Los Angeles

Statement of Evan Cohen, Chairman of Air America Radio:

"Air America Radio is temporarily unable to be heard on WNTD in Chicago and KBLA in Los Angeles, but Chicago and Los Angeles listeners can still hear our broadcast on the web at airamericaradio.com and on XM Satellite Radio (channel 167).

"MultiCultural Radio Broadcasting's conduct in this matter has been disgraceful. To shut off a broadcast that listeners rely on without 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."
