AirAmerica
It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.
The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business. This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection. From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times.
This is just so sad, not. AA never was competative and I beg to differ
with what they are trying to take some credit for...
When Air America Radio launched in April, 2004 with already-known personalities like Al Franken and then-unknown future stars like Rachel Maddow, it was the only full-time progressive voice in the mainstream broadcast media world. At a critical time in our nation's history — when dissent on issues such as the Iraq war were often denounced as "un-American" — Air America and its talented team helped millions of Americans remember the importance of compelling discussion about the most pivotal events and decisions of our generation.
Al Franken, Rachel Maddow are far left socialist trolls.
Through some 100 radio outlets nationwide, Air America helped build a new sense of purpose and determination among American progressives. With this revival, the progressive movement made major gains in the 2006 mid-term elections and, more recently, in the election of President Barack Obama and a strongly Democratic Congress.
Good luck with anymore of this in the future. Liberal talk radio has always been horrible, and always will be. Maybe has something to do with extreme liberalism.

AA was selling a product that Americans weren't buying. Some will continue to push these wares on the folks. Even the great one says he needs to be a better job of selling his agenda. He can't get it through that thick skull of his that Americans are not buying what he's selling.
They will be back. Like all liberal ideas, this one will not be killed until a steak is driven through its heart.
That is why I used "hopefully"
Seems to be that extreme leftardedism is malignant and always seems to re-occur.
