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.

Rich,

The so called 'conservatives' (Right Wing) are not going around
claiming to be the "Champions" of 'the poor' and 'minorities'.
They are not mouthing the hollow words 'i feel your pain'.

But the "Air America" crew of White Liberal Elitists are all
about being the Great White Saviors of 'the poor' and 'minorities'
are apparently to be judged as nothing but Limousine Liberals.

I downloaded OTS Juke so I play radio on my computer, and I've got some WLS
jingles intermixed with my music. And since the program has an excellent
dynamic processor, I try to create the Big 89 sound as closely as possible.
I'm still in the tweaking stage (as I have been for over two years).

I don't stream my "station" or anything, just play it for my sake till my
wife makes me turn it down.

parts of Kansas City that are north of the Missouri River.

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

They'll be very surprised to hear that.

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.

AA has probably had the most successful launch in the history of talk
radio. However, it remains to be seen whether their line-up of mostly
newbies to the talk radio business are going to make it. So far
there's too much talking among themselves and their guests. Too few
real callers. Randi Rhodes is the best
Its been so successful that it is now off the air in Chicago and LA
for nonpayment of leasing fees.

Well......maybe not.

Hello, simply read their 'original' Application for the Radio Station License.
The Devil is in the Details ;-}

Thanks for ignoring what I wrote. The "original" application is irrelevant,
especially when programming promises were eliminated from license renewals 30
years ago.

Try paying attention next time.

With 5 or 6 stations?

They added 6 more today. After being on the air all of two weeks. That's
pretty good.

And it apparently has been pulled
from Chicago and LA because their check bounced (per news reports this
evening.)

Bogus news reports.

Air America leased the two months prior to their debut on WNTD in Chicago and
KBLA in Los Angeles, and allowed Arthur Liu (owner of the stations) to run
filler during those two months.

Liu, in violation of their contract, leased the LA station during those
two months to someone else. It's as if you rented an apartment from
someone but couldn't move in for two months, so the landlord rents it
to someone else for those two months -- double-dipping.

When Air America discovered this (two days ago) they notified Liu that they
wanted to arbitrate this violation per their contract and stopped payment on
one check for the LA station per their contract. Liu, in violation of BOTH
contracts, cut them off in both LA and Chicago.

So now AA is taking Liu to court. Doubtless, they'll have a TRO in hand and
be back on the air in Chicago and LA a few days.

You can read AA's own rant on the subject at
http://airamericaradio.com/pub/resNews.htm, and their stiffer press release
at http://ln-s.net/X4.

If you have a really twisted sense of entertainment, you can get your jollies
off AA's court filing at:
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0414043air1.html.

If AA wasn't proving to be such a success, Liu wouldn't be motivated to shake
them down like this. They could quietly take this opportunity to get out of
their contract with Liu; but they want back on the air, and are going to
fight tooth and nail.

I've been in Talk Radio for a long time. Where do you get that it's
"the most successful launch in the history of Talk Radio?" If you mean
the most hyped, I'll agree.

This is press release puffery. It came out of the box with sloppy
production on six marginal signals and is now accused on not paying
its bills, so it's lost Los Angeles and Chicago. Read the "Sludge
Report" on their web site at

http://www.airamericaradio.com/pub/resNews.htm

to see how these TV "professionals" bite the hands, arms, legs and
other body parts that feed them. I'm sure that Artur Liu is chomping
at the bit to put them back on his stations.

That's a reasonable distinction. So should I assume that Air America
representatives did not approach the owners with an offer, knowing
that acceptance of the offer would result in CAA programming being
replaced?

Offers like this are made every day. Broadcasting is win-lose
business. If one show comes in another has to go out.

WLIB is a commercial entity. If it's losing money because no one is
listening and they can't sell time, something has to give. Supposing
BET had a radio network and made the same deal? CAA programming would
go, also.

You can't blame Air America for seeing an opportunity and making
something of it.
