Air America Radio will lose its New York flagship station, WLIB-AM, on Aug. 31. While the left-leaning radio networks original lease for the Inner City station ran out March 31, AAR managed to get an extension which only lasts until Aug. 31, according to an informed source.
Through an agreement with ICBC, WLIB will be operated as a joint venture and programmed by P1, a company run by former Clear Channel and Jacor Communications executive Randy Michaels. Michaels is expected to program a progressive-talk format, but replace AARs network programming with more local programming. A likely addition to the new lineup: Ed Schultz, the left-of-center talker syndicated by P1.
To be clear, Air America will not go silent on the New York City airwaves. We do not, however, comment on hypothetical speculation, said an AAR spokesperson.
Too bad, so sad.

Poor lefties, they thought it would be so easy to create a "Rush Limbaugh" from the left. Heh heh heh...
Air America is the sinking ship.
There may be room for a "progressive" radio show, but it needs to discuss real issues. Bashing the President all day gets to be boring.
No that was Con Air, but the name is certainly more appropriate.
Seriously, "Air America" - the name alone is so pompous you just know it's got to suck.
The Dims need their propaganda arm coverage in NY as close to the Nov election as possible. Err Amerika will probably look to rent a replacement frequency between Sep 1 and end of Nov or longer if they need to keep up another hate campaign about how Repubs stole the Nov election again. They will have no problem getting the funding and if they do, they can always find another boys or girls club to steal from.
German for joy at other peoples misfortunes.
Schaden = misfortune, mishap, prattfall, etc.
Freude = joy, happiness, laughter, etc.
Put them all together and they spell mother, just a half-a-word when it's AAR.
Thanx. I need to let that thread grow and nourish before DUFUing it.
As large as the audience is today, it will not go away quietly.
Yes, he was originating with his wife, from ND. But when they gave him the boot, he moved to MN. Will not make it in NY market (IMHO). He is not far left enough for the Err Amerika crowd. He is the one that made the big stink about not being carried on AFRN, whereas Rush gets 5 hours a week - went to Congress and Senate had a vote for this issue.
"How on earth could AA not make it in the biggest liberal city in America?"
(Cue Frank Sinatra)
If they can't make it there,
They can't make it (boom!) ANYWHERE,...
