Air America to cease live programming today, totally off the air 1/25/10

Air America ^ | 1/21/10 | Air America Board

[GeorgiaDawg32]

It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.

Wow this week just keeps getting better and better.

[mkjessup]

They will just move it to NPR

Move it? Hell, I thought Air America was just a simulcast of 'Late Nite NPR on Drugs', lol

[BraveNewCommie]

Air America = another failed Socialist experiment

[DoughtyOne]

I think their real problem, was that they didn’t recognize that most folks thought the air in Air-America, was the sort that would more appropriately be used by juveniles with a match.

It’s a good day.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

heh..

I found it at DU while trolling. They’re in mourning..This is just another reason for me to smile...

I guess the embezzled Boys & Girls club charity money finally dried up?

Just a prediction:

6. Nancy Pelosi’s botox freezes and she can’t talk.

[DGHoodini]

The only surprise that those Misery Holes of Sorrow and Bitter Rage, were able to actually stay on the air, *this* long.

IT’S BEEN A GREAT WEEK ALL AROUND! Long Live Conservativism!

Change you can believe in.

News about them and the rest of leftist radio has been scarce in the last year. IIRC this is their third bankruptcy. I only wish they would have wasted more of Soros’ money. He did cut them off years ago.

I wonder if they'll find a fool and his money to bail them out again. There aren't many super rich libs left who haven't thrown their money down a hole in this failed idea that niche market radio going nationwide is a good business plan.

[Ticonderoga34]

All ten of their listeners are deeply disappointed.

I’m surprised that Obama didn’t give them a bailout. I guess they weren’t too big to fail.

It's Dead, Jim.

[Sister_T]

Good! One less gaggle of moonbats to pollute the airwaves.

Oh Chode .... ! Your graphics are needed here!

[ColdOne]

I hope this time it is for good! Ba Bye!

[The Comedian]

What are both of their listeners going to do now?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

“Air America Radio launched in April, 2004 with already-known personalities like Al Franken and then-unknown future stars like Rachel Maddow”

Err America not only gave us the worst U.S Senator ever but also the most obnoxious cable TV personality. Hopefully they bankrupted their liberal investors. Or at least caused them to lose a lot of money.
