Air America searching for new Chicago affiliate

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.

2. Damn!!!! I was in withdrawal last week.

I hope they find a new affiliate here soon. What will I do without "Morning Sedition" again????

3. Oh No!

Hi,

I hope they find a station soon in the Chicago area. Although I must admit that the reception in Northern Illinois isn't the best.

I'm looking into satellite radio...XM or Sirius, anyone have any opinion which one is better? That way I won't be dependent on whether or not they find another station in the Chgo area.

Cheers,
Kim

4. Get Sirius

Clear Channel owns a piece of XM.

I just printed a bunch of return address type lables to paste all over with AM 950 on them.

Oh well - back to the drawing board.

Hopefully they will have another Chicago outlet in place by May 1st.
