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.

OK. I admit it . . . I'm a total ditz at interpreting these things.
What is "AC," and how is it different from "Urban AC?" I know Redneck AC is a block of ice and a fan -- how does that relate to radio?

After her shoot Bush "joke" I have a feeling she has had a visit from guys with sunglasses and has decided to 'spend more time with her family".

Who is Randi Rhodes ?
After a decade of tearing up the airwaves, this Brooklyn native comes home to New York as one of the most powerful voices in talk radio. Listed in Talkers Magazine Heavy 100, Randi Rhodes brings her own brand of impeccably researched and infectiously humorous talk to Air America Radio.
I'm assuming they are not being sarcastic.

Beats me, but apparently "AC" is "Adult Contemporary."

From the National Debate website:
The Air America Death Watch is in full swing. Since launching 51 days ago, the company has terminated almost its entire senior management, missed payroll, lost stations in two of its five original markets and racked up millions in unpaid debt including paychecks owed to former employees in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago. The original investors have lined up Rob Glaser of Real Networks in a last ditch effort to raise $8 million to save the fledgling liberal radio network.
As executives flee the sinking ship, Air America has quitely removed their list of company executives from its web site and stopped issuing press releases.
