Air America: Losing Stations?
I hied myself over to the AA webpage to see when a certain station I was *waiting* for with bated breath was going to go on the air.

The station was GONE from the "Coming Soon" listings!!

Is AA losing stations even before they come on the air?!

I'm stuck out here in Tuleland with NOTHING but Reich Wing Radio and I'm freakin' ANNOYED! Guess I need to get a satellite radio.

Can't listen online because my system's not configured to be able to get streaming audio. So, no AA for me! Anyone know of other stations they've lost before even beginning to broadcast?

5. Yeah. At Least TWO

The missing two (and I don't know of others) are Memphis and Santa Fe.

What the Hell is happening?!

Not every deal goes through. People everywhere have at least three ways to listen:

XM Satellite, Sirius Satellite, and the internet.

7. Sadly, I'll Have To Pass...

I don't have a Satellite radio or service (and can't really afford it) and I tried downloading the streaming software (I think it was the correct software, I don't know) but it would not download and it wouldn't run. My system seems not to be compatible.

Oh, well. I miss liberal radio, but I can always get commentary here. People discussing what was said.

Only two more until I hit 200 posts...

8. Media players
Edited on Wed Jun-02-04 08:19 AM by Armstead
You can use Real PLayer for the main stream. Also there are Windows Media Player streams available from some of their stations, such as the Portland one. Your computer came with that if you have Windows.
