Who needs a transmitter when you're broadcasting hot vile air?

Did they wait until Rush was off (at 3:00 PM EDT) to announce this? Howie Carr'll still have a blast with it.

Wasn't Mark Walsh the same guy that just accused Free Republic of attacking the Err America website?

Isn't the last stage of any business just prior to the end defined as being run by the lawyers?

It looks like they skipped most of the other stages...

Whenever I hear the name Air America, I think of that airplane's cartwheel landing in Sioux City, Iowa.

Rush did make mention of it the latter part of his program.

It's not going to be a soft landing for Air America.

I bet the investors that pulled out of "Air Gore" are smiling.

Translation: Chiefs are failing, fire the Indians.

"Investors" thought they knew what they were doing, and didn't, but it's not their fault.

I could see firing a CEO but the PD? After, what, 4 weeks? I'm not a radio guy, but it seems way too early to see if the talent is the problem (not that I'm a fan, mind you).

Come on. I need it to wheeze along until Sept. 30? Does it count if it's on life support until then?

Air America is going down.

Too bad all that hot air can't be used as a flotation device.
