I hope this isn't true, AAR is DONE Jan. 1, 2005!
My little bird told me this:

it has been verified!!! Air America goes dark on January 1, 2005 - Randi goes back to WJNO until June 2005 when she signs off FOR GOOD!!!!

Dude, if this is true, and I pray to HELL it's not, it is time to go loco. How can a radio network that's got on in NYC, Philly, San Fran, Miami, Boston, San Deigo, Denver, Minneapolis, etc., just go up in flames like this?!

Lu Cife, this crap better not be true, ANYONE?

13. Al Franken said YESTERDAY on the air that they are there to FIGHT
for the DURATION and AirAmerica was NEVER put on the air just for the Presidential Election.

So I think your little bird might be wrong, or at least your little bird needs to give us a link.

19. And the Unfiltered folks said it today, too.
Why would AAR go away now? Now is when they are needed most. Now is when they will really be able to build up a base of listeners.

I don't buy it.

15. I don't think so
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 03:17 PM by GregD
Franken, for example, says "we are here to stay and will continue this battle."

22. This is a completely different set of circumstances
You really can't compare AAR continuing to broadcast with a presidential campaign. It's not even apples and oranges, it's apples and hamburgers.

23. It's not in Franken's hands.
The money people will decide on the future of AAR. Are they making money? Will the owners accept losses (if any) for a longer time?

I just hope that if they're thinking of closing up, they will at least make appeals for funding from the public.

25. I don't think that many radio shows have ever done good on TV
besides, isn't sundance a pay channel, they didn't even carry the full show if I am not mistaken.

And they only carried about 50 minutes per night.

30. Yes, the TV show was only planned until the election. It's very expensive
to produce, because the editing and graphics have to be done on such a short schedule.

Are you just trying to pissoff/depress people even more?

What an apt screenname you have.

Heck, their website says they're even rolling out some premium service for audio archives.

35. Why would you post this, LuCifer? while I don't mean to misjudge you...
so many have come here to post provocative and disturbing, yet false information, that my radar goes off.

This is absolute crap and I can only hope you did not do it intentionally to upset people.

I'm sure the other shows have similar ratings.

45. People LuCifer has been on this board
since the beginning, almost. He is, I think, young and passionate. He doesn't post much, but he is NOT A FREEPER - and hopefully he is just misinformed.

He's no freeper. Check it out. Music and everything. I wonder if he's had a knock on the door yet.
