I guess the simple question, shorn of all the rhetoric, is whether Air
America replaced programming by the Coalition of Artists and
Activists or not.

No, the owners of the station replaced programming by CAA. With Air America.

By the way, CAA's programming still has a home on weekends.

The only "hypocritical and desperate" thing about the linked article is its
author, who is severely put upon because one program on WLIB got kicked out by
Air America.

As far as I know, WLIB's ENTIRE SCHEDULE was displaced by AA.

While I agree that the loss of WLIB to the Black community is a
problem I thought the article was so far off base it was ridiculous.

Air America is paying Percy Sutton for his time from 6am to 11pm.

WLIB wasn't making money and Sutton was honest enough to admit he did
it for the money.

Remember what happened to WOWO,

I remember listening not only to WOWO but to all the other stations in
the eastern US and Canada that have been mentioned. My radio of choice
was an RCA AA5 from the late fifties with Conelrad frequencies marked
on the dial. The one thing I remember more than anything else about
WOWO is, of course:

The Fort Wayne Komets
http://www.komets.com/index2.html

Without the website, I never would have known that "Komets" was
spelled with a "k".

So we now see the selling out of the Minority Community to
'benefit' the interests of a few White Liberal ELITISTS.

Mark Riley and Chuck D are "White Liberal Elitists"?

They'll be very surprised to hear that.

Ah, the good old days. There was quite a spirited debate in rrb at
the time. As someone who lived in Kansas City at the time, and who
was well aware of what was then KFEZ, I felt it wasn't quite
the crime against humanity that some made it out to be.

At one time, the 1190 in Boulder, CO also had nighttime service with
a DA, but that was given up sometime in the mid 1990s. There was a
about a year in Kansas City when KFEZ was off the air after getting
struck by lightning *during* a thunderstorm in 1990. 1190 was a very
quiet spot on the dial most nights during that time -- or there was
a very low level hash.

I actually get a little choked up when I think of
what WLS was. This was a station I grew up
with. Fred Winston, Larry Lujack ("Superjock"),
Steve Dahl and Garry Meiers.

Ulp. It's happening again.

Ditto on CKLW. I believe John "Records"
Landecker came to WLS from CKLW.

Boy, those *were* the days, no kidding.
I remember the days of "musicradio" (all
one word), and the top 40 format. I wanted
to be a part of the world of radio, and that
world no longer exists.

Oh, yeah, WLAC, too.

I remember the *good* days of radio.
Nothing sounds better than a fat, well - modulated
good - fidelity AM signal, fading, the phase of the
carrier shifting like a porch swing in the wind.

I thought that made music sound *better.*

I also find this rather confusing. You refer to wide-ranging,
informative and entertaining programming. But I thought we were
talking about Air America?

LOL!

The 'original' License for certain "Minority Owned" Broadcasters were to SERVE
the 'under-served' Minority Community of a specific Media Market, and 'create'
"Diversity in Radio Broadcasting".

Where DO you people get this crap from?

No one has promised "to SERVE the 'under-served' Minority Community" as a
condition of a grant of an FCC license for almost three decades. Where have
you been?

So, if this new network had been Conservative it would have been OK.
You're just in a wringer because it's Liberal. I realize there are no
elitists on the Conservative side, so I won't argue the point.
