While Air America Radio's loss of two affiliates in Phoenix and Missoula, Montana is generating news this week, the company itself probably hasn't been able to give either city a second thought.
Why? In a development sure to rip the heart right out of the liberal radio network's already ailing body, it appears extremely likely their leased New York City flagship station WLIB-AM will soon abandon Air America programming.
Even worse, litigation looks probable over the station's lease.
While the network's last day on WLIB isn't known for certain, an internal source providing backing documentation points to the end of March. At this time, Air America parent Piquant LLC has no firm back-up plan for where in the nation's largest radio market its programming will now air.
Some inside the firm are already referring to WLIB in the past tense.
Without WLIB, Air America faces an immediate, crushing blow. Worth perhaps 100 small markets combined, an on-air presence in New York City is absolutely vital to the company's survival. If an immediate and suitable replacement isn't found, the consequences would be dire.
What percentage of Air America's audience would disappear overnight, the Radio Equalizer can't say for sure. Could it be 40%? Fifty percent?
Taking control of Inner City Broadcasting Corporation (ICBC)- owned WLIB is said to be a consortium of industry heavyweights, including former Clear Channel executive Randy Michaels and Boston-based broadcast investment firm Alta Communications, in partnership with ICBC.

MIDI - VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR
(musical intro)
I was listening to Hannity or Rushbo
When I tried another station...why?...I don't know
I heard someone and I said, man does this guy blow
Ooh-a-ooh
In no time I quickly reached the right conclusion
I determined that he needs a brain transfusion
The poor guy was really suffering delusion
Ooh-a-ooh...the guy was crazy...ooh-a-ooh...he's freakin' crazy
Liberals stunk my radio up...liberals stunk my radio up
Just 10 seconds...that's enough...now, it's in the trash can
CNN and Jennings spew the same old prattle
Those who watch them follow like they're sheep or cattle
In their heads we're sure we heard something rattle
Ooh-a-ooh...the guy was crazy...ooh-a-ooh...he's freakin' crazy
Liberals stunk my radio up...liberals stunk my radio up
Just 10 seconds...that's enough...and that decision had not been tough
Now, it's in the trash can...stuffed down in the trash can
(musical interlude)
I'll miss that old Grundig
Liberals stunk my radio up...liberals stunk my radio up
Just 10 seconds...that's enough...and that decision had not been tough
I won't put up with that stuff...always whining while in a huff
(musical interlude)
Liberals stunk my radio up...liberals stunk my radio up
Liberals stunk my radio up...liberals stunk my radio up
Liberals stunk my radio up...liberals stunk my radio up
Liberals stunk my radio up...liberals stunk my radio up
Liberals stunk my radio up...(fade)
(musical finish)
Well, been wrong many times, and who cares about this lot anyway, eh?
Sorry to correct you but Libs dont talk TO each other, they talk AROUND each other. They dont listen to a work anyone else says. No one is as 'nuanced' as they are.
Truely, they should shut up and pretend that they are sending telepathic messages to each other. That would show the world they are better than all of us. I would love for them to ty this. Imagine CBS where the 'talking head' looks into the camera for '60 minutes'. This would be great.
Or the voices in their heads...
In the picture, who is the one giving a thimbs up. Nice puppies.
Sorry, I have probably insulted a Feminazi by not noticing her IQ by who she is hanging out with.... The Liberal 'IN' crowd!
ROTF...
Excuse me for my ignorance but who are these people.
The one second from the left is Randi Rhodes. She's rumored to have her own radio show and was supposed to be the left's best hope to beat Rush Limbaugh. I think the person on her right is famed lesbian Rosie O'Donnell. I have no idea who the others in the picture are.
Or, just too busy talking to listen to anything.
Nelson sez: ha-hah!
Words to live for, and I've been living to hear these words since that bunch of losers took to the air and bored even liberals to tears.
The whole operation will gone soon.
"Wahl, it all depen's on whut y'all's definition of "steal", is.."
If you ask, it's not stealing, is it? LOL!
