In effect, Air America was unable to provide programming, and defaulted on
the agreement. The station owner contracted with someone else to maintain
programming on the air till such time as AA was ready to provide it. The
AA
folks, not aware of the deal they signed, stopped payment on a check and
Liu, the owner, cut them off. All legal. The AA people simply bit the hand
that fed them.



OK, but I wasn't trying to say that Air America acted in a criminal way,
only that they were ****ing away their money and generally acting
incompetently. I'll correct myself further and say:

They paid a million bucks to the station in Los Angeles for almost nothing.

Because, as far as I know, Chicago didn't get involved until the check stop
incident. The million bucks to LA was already deposited, and the stopped
check was for actual Air America broadcast time.
