LL,

Here's the story as I know it ... in fragmented form ...

Chuck Harder apparently had applied for a $1 million grant from the
U.S. Department of Labor to broadcast & grow his New Abilities TV
network on satellite DVB.
He lost the contract bid, which would have kept his NATV on the air for
three to five years.
He then declared bankruptcy (Chapter 11) and put NATV on e-Bay for
$400,000.

Re his radio program, it's still going, but I don't think it's on any
"conventional" (AM/FM/SW) stations in the U.S. I think it's only on
Internet streaming audio on TalkStar Radio.

As to his program content, it's turned decidedly 1991 ... sounds like
it did back then, with the whole "George Bush is an out-of-touch
elitist" schtick, seasoned w/a healthy dose of Armaggeddon ...

I even heard Chuck say that New York City was a hotbed of violent
crime, crack cocaine, and was so dangerous after dark that the "elites"
who live there (one of whom is a cousin of mine) lock up their gated
penthouses and don't come out until the sun comes up ... all because of
globalism, free trade, immigration, and the fact that almost all the
NYC radio stations broadcast in Spanish ...

Ahhh ... the bad old days of 1991 - Dane Quayl, crack, Harris Wofford,
"mad as he** and not gonna take it anymore," anti-Bush columns from
George Will, Saddam crushing the Kurds, "Pat Buchanan for President,"
$1.09 gasoline, $20 oil, "The Boy From Hope," "F*** the Jews, they
didn't vote for us," James Baker, Haley Barbour, Israel getting stiffed
for $10 billion in loan guarantees - wheeee!!!!
