Shakeup At Air America Radio: CEO and Program Director Out
Radio.About.com From Corey Deitz, Your Guide to Radio. Dateline: 04/27/04 The Associated Press is reporting a shakeup in Air America Radio's top management. Mark Walsh, has stepped down as CEO of the new liberal Radio network and its Program Director, David Logan, has been put on "administrative leave". According to the AP, Walsh said, "he gave up his CEO title earlier this month but will continue to pursue deals for Progress Media." Progress Media is the parent company of Air America Radio. There was no further clarification as to why Logan was no longer actively programming the network. In the interim, Air America Radio is being run by David Goodfriend who is the company's lawyer. Goodfriend worked once as an advisor to the F.C.C. but reportedly has no other direct radio experience except for a one-time job as a DJ in Beloit, Wisconsin. Taking over, at least temporarily, as Program Director is Lizz Winstead. Winstead is a host for Air America Radio and is also the co-founder of Comedy Central's "Daily Show". http://radio.about.com/cs/latestradi...laa042704a.htm |

Nice catch. "he gave up his CEO title earlier this month" suggests the shakeup has something to do with the falling out with Multicultural Broadcasting. Here's a quote from today's Chicago Sun-Times: *Even as it prepares to lose its Chicago broadcast outlet, Air America can't keep it together. Despite plans to remain on WNTD-AM (950) until Friday, the liberal talk radio network aired nothing but music and promotional announcements Monday morning. "When we return to Chicago on the right signal -- whether that's the day we go off the air on WNTD or some period after that -- it's going to be for the long haul," said Evan Cohen, chairman of Air America. "We realize that we have some fence-mending to do." Have you heard any Air America programming, maybe on the internet? There's no compelling reason to listen, except in the way some people like to rubberneck as they drive by a traffic accident. The news stories and speculation are far more interesting. Evan Cohen's mention of "fence-mending" probably relates to Air America's poor handling of the Multicultural Broadcasting situation, as evidenced by the infamous "Liu-ser" article posted on Air America's web page.

WTND may have aired the music loop (presumably because of a downlink problem in Chicago), but elswhere, it was regular programming. -- |I always wanted to be someone,| Tom Betz, Generalist | |but now I think I should have | Want to send me email? | |been a wee bit more specific. | http://tinyurl.com/ps2u | |
