Quoth "Frank Dresser" in
:

Air America has some sort of advertising beef with the LA
station.

Not an advertising beef. They leased the two months prior to their debut,
and allowed Arthur Liu 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. 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.

I'm reading that Liu has a long history as a sleazier-than-usual station
owner.
