** U S A. LIBERAL TALK RADIO MUST FIND NEW CHICAGO STATION
By John Cook, Tribune staff reporter, April 20, 2004, 3:13 PM CDT

It was on, then it was off, then it was on again, and now it will be
off again.

Air America Radio, the recently launched liberal talk-radio network
that became embroiled last week in a financial dispute with the owner
of its Chicago and Los Angeles stations, will broadcast over WNTD-950
AM in Chicago for the last time on April 30, the network said today.

The network also said it will remain off the air for the time being in
Los Angeles, where it was yanked off its station there, KBLA-1580,
last week by owner Multicultural News Radio.

The announcement settles an acrimonious legal and public relations
battle between Air America and Multicultural. It also means that Air
America must seek new homes in the nation's second and third-largest
markets less than three weeks into its short life.

"We are pleased that we reached a negotiated settlement," said David
Goodfriend, executive vice president and general counsel of Air
America, in a terse statement. No Air America executives would comment
further. Copyright (c) 2004, Chicago Tribune (April 20 via Bill
