Air America Radio will lose its New York flagship station, WLIB-AM, on Aug. 31. While the left-leaning radio network’s 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 AAR’s 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.

They'll probably blame the low ratings on a Karl Rove conspiracy. I wonder what the ratings are for Al Gore's lame TV network?

Yet a another complete failure for little Al Franken. Any Hollywood morons left willing to throw money down the rathole on his next media project? Even communists have limits.

What's even better than them losing NYC--is that Eddie Schultz is gonna replace those dopes. Have you ever heard the guy? PATHETIC, leftist Rush Limbaugh Wannabe. He tries to talk about 'off topic stuff' like football and hunting...He will go over in NYC like a fart in church...
To: PJ-Comix
I don't think they even listen to one another.
They all insist on their right to speak -- without giving anybody else a chance.
All output, no input. Liberal rants are not an "in" thing anymore. "Go tell it on a mountain."
