(GM will no longer run ads on Air America)

I'm disgusted to hear that GM had been running ads on Err Amerika. I'm glad I don't own any GM vehicles; I might have had to junk them.

Ryndee Carney, GM's manager of marketing communications, said the ads were wrongly picked up from an earlier deal with WLIB. She said the station was ordered to "cease and desist" yesterday, and added: "GM will not advertise on any Air America affiliates."

The article notes that the ads were left over from a previous ad buy, when the station was a different format. GM has slapped Air America with a "cease and desist" order to force them to stop airing their commercials. Not only can this dreck not attract advertisers, but the advertisers who inadvertently end up on their stations are threatening legal action to get off.

Oh yeah, this is going to be a REALLY successful radio network.

From what I hear of most American cars, they'd junk themselves in a few years anyway ;)

It was a mistake and GM is taking them to court if they don't remove them immediately.
