Air America Media (www.airamerica.com) has signed a multi-year deal with Montel Williams to host “Montel Across America,” debuting April 6. The program will air weekdays from 9am-12pm ET on radio stations across the country, and streamed live online.

“Montel is a multi-media star and a familiar name to millions of people across the country,” said Bennett Zier, Air America Media CEO. “The addition of Montel to our talent line-up is an important step for the continued growth of Air America, as we look to distribute Montel’s show across America.”

“After being on television for more than 17 years, I’m looking forward to engaging in lively conversations and interacting with the American public,” said Williams. “Air America is providing me with the perfect environment to do this every day from New York City, as well as reporting from cities around the world as a travelling correspondent.”

They are trying to get the Blacks to listen. They better play some misogynist, violent rap music. Montel alone won't be enough.They can get all the racial grievance they want in their churches and barber shops.

Who is paying his contract?

Considering how much pork is in Stimulus Bills #1 and #2 (with #3 on deck), I would wager that we are. And with the UN-"fairness doctrine" rearing its ugly head again, I see more bad things coming.

"Air America", the new, even more leftist revolutionary NPR. Listen to their Obama approved mandatory "two minutes hate" or else comrade.

It always amazes me that the left never realizes Orwell was writing about their government ideals in "Animal Farm" and "1984".

I looked up Rhodes Air Force career and something there doesn’t pass the smell test. I don’t want to get into a long story of how I know but I joined when she got out and there were almost no manpower overages anywhere in the USAF at that time.

You know I appreciate that he is a military vet. I also believe he was an intellegence officer as well.

However, that has nothing to do with him as a talk show host.

I always wonder about him. How did he end up where he is is beyond me.

I am not going to cut him a break because he served our country. Once you step out into the public sphere you are fair game.

“‘Sedition in the Morning.’”
____________

It was “Morning Sedition” (Get it? Like NPR’s Morning Addition).

Air America in Columbia SC is alive and well. The guy who runs the programming sells slots in between the Air America shows and on weekends. Some conservative Rush Limbaugh wannabes pay to put on shows and some of it is pretty entertaining (although mostly rehashed Hannity and Rush).

Montel is a 20-year Navy vet guys...go easy on him.

Incorrect. Williams did 12 years in the Marine Corps and Navy. Murtha is a retired Marine Colonel. Should we go easy on that POS too?

“They cost an exorbitant price. Big Ripoff.”

Bigger rip off than $5000 rims for a $2500 Hyundai?
The stupid love to be ripped off. I am working on an Obama Sham-Wow or Slp Chop before his luster wears off.

So Montel goes from a national show with hundreds of thousands of viewers to a stint on some podunk network with an audience of literally hundreds.

Quite the fall, I’d say. Quite the fall.

"Quite the fall, I'd say. Quite the fall."

Quite right. Talk about a gig with no future.

It's like taking a job with the ship's band on the Titanic.

On a similar subject while following the Randi Rhodes will be back on the air anytime now* saga I ran across this. Only click on the link if you follow the intricacies of talk radio because it's some lefty website. I only give it as a reference source.

http://www.pubrecord.org/nationworld/752-progressive-radio-host-peter-b-collins-to-air-final-show-next-friday.html

The short version is that liberal host Peter B. Collins is leaving the air after five years because of the “stranglehold of rightwing corporate control over the public’s airwaves has made it impossible for him to continue.” His show replaced Rhodes on many of her stations after she went off the air about six weeks ago. The above reason is often given as a reason for the failure of a liberal radio host to succeed and having few listeners with little chance of audience growth has absolutely nothing to do with it.

*Rhodes is supposedly looking for a new syndicator for her show and may or may not get one.
