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.

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.

Agreed. It would sure be nice if it worked out that way.

So we now see the selling out of the Minority Community to
'benefit' the interests of a few White Liberal ELITISTS. These
Liberal Elitists only claim to fame is their Leftist Socialist
Agenda and using a few radio stations to act as propaganda outlets.

Are you sure you aren't confusing them with Pacifica? Not that Pacifica
hasn't gone really quite conservative in recent years. Used to be I could
tune to WPFW late at night and hear extended rants about killing all the white
people, and that's long gone. I sort of miss it, actually.

"Air America" in 'name' ONLY
In-Fact Very Ugly American Liberal Elitist in Reality !

Hey, if it gets people thinking and it makes a profit, it's doing better
than most of the other services that come in over the bird. I did notice
a bad buzz when I listened to their feed, though. Also I heard the sort of
pumping that you get when you try to use a compressor as an AVC device.

A small sidelite on AA. They have evidenly obtained a lease on time
from KBLA, 50 kw DA-2 on 1580 kHz. That station is dual licensed to

Actually, it is only licensed to Santa Monica. It does not put enough signal
over LA day and night to be an LA station.

and puts a tremendous signal in that area,

Actually, it only covers part of LA by day, and very little of it at night.
At night, a flashlight-thin lobe heads from Alvarado and the 101 fwy towards
Santa Mónica and the ocean.

Which is how it was designed.

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

With 5 or 6 stations? That's a success? And it apparently has been pulled
from Chicago and LA because their check bounced (per news reports this
evening.)

So they are down to 3 or 4 stations. That's a HUGE success!

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

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.

Its been so successful that it is now off the air in Chicago and LA
for nonpayment of leasing fees.
