They should have gotten James Carville.

Someone a bit more animated. Franken's voice can be used as a sleeping pill.

Air America planned on broadcasting (and displacing Chinese/Korean programming) in the Bay area, according to this piece..

Did you know Air America pulled the same crap in New York? No, you leftist whackjobs would be screaming bloody murder if anyone else even thought of such a thing.

Well, at least you don't deny being a racebaiter.

They are NOT broke, it is a contract dispute over the media company that carries their signal in LA and Chicago double billing them in LA, and yanking the plug when they tried to resolve it.

once again,

THEY ARE NOT BROKE (not yet anyway)

Wow, drudge reported it, it must be true.
AAR corp. has a 2 year secured line of credit. Somehow I don't think they're bouncing checks.

He usually is. i also stated lets wait about 24 hours to see what happens.
well, it didn't even take that long..

linky1linky2

pretty sad when your own media outlet wants to pull the plug. businesses usually like to make a profit. it would be really weird to pull a show that was making money for the media outlet. sounds like Liberal Radio doesn't sell well to the public. Go figure!!

I certainly enjoy hearing Franken and Garafollo screech about stupid, lying, immoral conservatives.......not.

Hehe - didn't Franken brag about baiting someone to sue? Well it looks like AirAmerica is the first onboard the "sue bus". :p

It seems kind of stupid to try to compete with low IQ radio anyway, the right already has the audience.

Funny how both links discredit Drudge's side of the story.

From the Chicago Tribune

After just two weeks of broadcasting, Air America Radio, the fledgling liberal talk-radio network featuring Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo, was pulled off the air this morning in Chicago and Los Angeles, the network's second- and third-largest markets, in a dispute over payments for airtime.

Arthur Liu, owner of Multicultural Radio Broadcasting, which owns Air America affiliates WNTD-950 AM in Chicago and KBLA-1580 AM in Los Angeles, said Air America bounced a check and owes him more than $1 million.

[...]

A Chicago source familiar with the situation said a Multicultural representative showed up at WNTD's offices this morning, kicked out Air America's lone staffer overseeing the network's feed to the station from New York, switched over to a Spanish-language feed, and changed the locks on the doors.

Liu said the same thing happened at KBLA in Los Angeles.
Well, at least you don't deny being a racebaiter.
Just stating facts.

So you don't like free markets? You want entitlements for minorities?
The Air America mantra: "Propaganda at any cost."

Compared to what? They're just the opposite of the right-wing blowhards.

You are right. Liberals do not need lying blowhards to tell them what to think. Liberals think for themselves. Leave conservative Bleat Radio for the sheep.
