Air America to cease live programming today, totally off the air 1/25/10

Air America ^ | 1/21/10 | Air America Board

[GeorgiaDawg32]

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.

Just for fun, I would listen to their last 5 minutes, if there actually was an Air Amerika station anywhere in the area (listening on the net is cheating).

[behzinlea]

Not with a bang, but a whimper.

I didn’t join FR until the end of 2004 but I guessed Air America would fold by New Year’s Eve 2005 when they started. I’m surprised they lasted this long.

[Mears]

They were,and are,iving in a different universe.

[Chode]

[Verbosus]

I know I can pick her up on our Air America station, but
I think she is syndicated like you say.
I hate her the worst - she is loony x 1000.

No more Boys and Girls Clubs to steal from?

[onyx]

Aha! So you’re their listener!

[SkyDancer]

He only needs four more.

What? No Georgy Soros bailout?????

I’m shocked.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Wow, this is not gonna be a good year for the libs... it started with the Boston Tea Party and barring some huge turnaround in the economy or Barry’s antics, November should be a massacre.

Can’t say I ain’t enjoying it.

Wow, I was off by slightly over 5 years.

But then again, I didn't know they were going to steal from orphanages. That knowledge would have adjusted my estimate...

With radio industry ad revenues down for 10 consecutive quarters, and reportedly off 21% in 2009

Not at the EIB network.

Put a fork in them, they’re done.

Between Brown’s win, the SCOTUS decision and the death of Air America, well, I wish every week could be this good!!

What is a “Air America”? What is an Olbermann? Are these inside jokes or just obscure references to which only a few people have been exposed?
