[patrioticliberal]

Posted over at Mike's message board:

From Ben Burch at White Rose Society:

"I just talked to Mike and he confirms that AAR has indeed fired him.

SO...

...starting TONIGHT on the Head On Radio Network, we will be presenting a nightly "Best Of Mike Malloy" show with Mike's permission, with material going back as far as his ie America days in March 2003.

Tonight's show will be his ie America farewell show from the last day of that network's operation.

1. kicky uppy

[xultar]

2. That is some fucked up shit. AAR is so wrong for firing that guy. WTF

is running AAR?

[bdamomma]

3. does anyone know why they fired him? I thought he was moving to

1600.

[patrioticliberal]

5. No real reason..just bullshit

If it was a "financial decision", then how come they just signed a 2 yr contract with him?

[Canuckistanian]

7. Just 2 days before going to 1600

Someone speculated that AAR could only go to 1600 WITHOUT Malloy.

Some kind of sick deal.

[gully]

10. What's 1600?

shrug

[JackBeck]

12. The new flagship AAR station in New York.

And Malloy was to return to his original nighttime slot, as per his new 2-year contract that he just signed with them.

8. why has benburch been tombstoned?

user name: benburch = The White Rose Society; site is www.whiterosesociety.org - they are the keepers of the archives for Malloy and many other like Guy James. :wtf:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. Because He Broke The Rules.

That generally will always be the answer to that question. As far as the specifics, it is generally policy for the admins to keep that between them and the poster.

9. OMG from his website. I am writing airamerica

MIKE MALLOY FIRED BY AIR AMERICA RADIO

There will be no Mike Malloy program today - or any day - on Air America Radio as we have been terminated. We are as shocked as you are. We are told its a financial decision.

More details to follow as we hear them ourselves.

13. What? Malloy Has Been Fired?

Yeah I think I did hear about that! A few hundred times! Today! On greatest!

We know, we know already!

[libnnc]

15. there's always hide a thread

:hi:

[K8-EEE]

16. You're Right!

But you have to admit there's LOTS LOTS LOTS of repeat threads on this...I'm just sayin'.

[libnnc]

18. 'cause it's a big deal on this board

Mike has many fans here.

[TheWatcher]

17. Yes we know you are happy.

Sorry, we aren't shutting up about it.

[K8-EEE]

19. No Kidding.

Actually I would never tell anybody to shut up but a gentile suggestion to consolodate threads perhaps is on order seeing as the first 10 Greatest threads are MM related.

[Nabia2004]

22. Has Sam Seder reported on this yet?

He mentioned that he was going to give his view on the subject at the opening of his show.

[yankeeinlouisiana]

23. Not yet.

He said he would do it towards the end of his show.
