Randi Rhodes announced today that she is quitting Air America. Rhodes made the surprise announcement in a prepared statement at the opening of today's broadcast of the Randi Rhodes Show.
On a related note the Arbitron ratings came out (for New York only) and it is not pretty. Air America on WLIB came in ranked #24 between #25 Mexican Radio and #26 Wall of Voodoo.
LEGAL CLARIFCATION REQUIRED: If you quit on a radio show with no ratings does that count as a resignation?
The Air America message board is in mourning.
In case you missed it...here is the updated timeline of the Air America Death Watch. I won't cheat and post it but I had meant to post a prediction that she would be the first to go. From what I understand she had a bigger audience in Florida then she was getting on AAR's "national" network. I don't think her little "assassination" joke helped.
The NYC Arbitron Abbattior (5/21/04):
WABC (Rush, Hannity): 3.9 (up from 3.7) Ranked 7th overall WOR (O'Reilly, Savage) : 2.1 (down from 2.2) Ranked 21st WLIB (Air Idiot): 1.4 (up from 1.3) Ranked 24th
LOL. DU will be on suicide watch.
uhhhhhhh.....24 is BETWEEN 25 and 26?
Could they have screwed this up any worse? Prediction: someone ends up getting arrested before this pathetic debacle finally ends. What a bunch of boobs.

Who is Randi Rhodes ?
http://www.radioandrecords.com/Subscribers/ratings/monthlies/ratnyk.htm
Official ratings for New york just so everyone knows its real.
I don't understand ANY Spanish, but I'd rather listen to Mexican radio...
RATS leaving the sinking ship? (somebody had to post it)
Beats me.
Guitarist for Quiet Riot and Ozzy Osbourne. Died tragically in an accident over two decades ago. His current namesake on Airhead America is some third-rate wannabe who should have been creative enough to choose a name like Yngwie Malmsteen.
She is a radio skank from Florida who has a nasty reputation o'er there. I have never heard her programme, but Floridians in FR have told horror stories about her vile on-air behaviour.
Don't watch 'em, just let 'em do it!
If a tree falls in a forest. . . .
How apropos... Rats scurrying from a sinking ship.
Why is WLIB's catergory still listed as 'Urban' as opposed to talk?
I wish I was in Tijuana, eating barbequed Iguana.
I understand just a little.
No comprendre, it's a riddle
