Air America Radio Files for Bankruptcy
October 14, 2006
Air America Radio Files for Chapter 11.
Sigh, like the title says, Air America Radio filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy today, well I guess by now, yesterday. I wonder what is going to happen to the network.
I used to listen to Air America all of the time when they first launched and couldn’t get enough of it for awhile. I was so happy that progressive talked radio finally arrived and that they were totally going to stick it to all of those conservative personalities.
But, I kind of got tired of them after the 2004 elections since well, Bush got re-elected and the Republicans were still in control of Congress. I just felt like even though these voices of opposition were out there, it still didn’t make much of a difference. I would find myself turning the dial to NPR more and more to get my news in the mornings and afternoons until I would just listen to NPR pretty much exclusively again.
I really liked Mark and Mark in the mornings though – but I would just get so annoyed at Randi Rhodes. She just has a voice that makes me want to bitch slap her.
I hope Air America comes out of bankruptcy okay, but I am not getting my hopes up.
