Rachel Maddow update from AAR blog (Malloy, Armstrong, changes)

[LTR]

Hi Blogeratti.

I know everyone's upset about Mike, about Armstrong Williams on WWRL (he is not AAR staff -- his show was necessarily inherited in the change to the new NYC affiliate), and about the paucity of information about forthcoming changes.

AAR wants to announce everything all at once, and they're not yet ready to do that. I can't talk about the changes either to the press or on the show until AAR makes its announcement.

That said, feel free to fulminate, holler, blame, explain, hope, strategize, and drift off into tangents in the comments section here. I'll try to keep a reasonable-sized thread open all weekend.

With respect,
Rachel

1. Armstrong Williams on AAR? Now I know something is

fishy here. Are the new owners going to stealthily start putting in RW hosts, (in the interest of fairness and balance, of course :sarcasm:) and destroy LW radio from the inside because they couldn't do it from the outside? :tinfoilhat:

[NYCGirl]

6. Only in NYC. He won't be heard anywhere else. NT

[Cleita]

11. Want to make a wager?

This to me is a foot in the door approach. I'm betting he will be in more markets within the year if he has a good contract.

[NYCGirl]

17. Yep — in NYC only. NT

[Cleita]

23. The wager is that he will trickle into other cities besides NYC.

How can he trickle into NYC if he's already there. That's kinda not a bet. I'm confused. Do you mean that he won't be in any other market than NYC at the end of the year? That makes more sense. Is that what you mean?

[NYCGirl]

27. Yes, I mean he won't trickle OUT of NY. And eventually, he'll trickle

right out of AAR's NY station, too.

[Cleita]

29. I hope you are right and I am wrong. n/t

[NYCGirl]

30. I hope so too, since I'm in NYC and have to listen to them!

(I listen to AAR on the radio on my way to work — once I'm in the office, I listen to the net stream.)

:hi:

[Radio_Lady]

32. NYC Girl, I'm copying your picture. Assume that is OK. Main reason is:

My husband's name is Al -- and he's the precinct chairperson for the county Democratic party here in Oregon.



Thanks for posting.

[NYCGirl]

34. No problem. That's outside the Marc Jacobs store here in the Village. NT

[Radio_Lady]

37. Thanks for the information. Look what else I found on Google search:

This is kind of an interesting link:

Anti-Bush Extremism: The New Corporate Marketing Gimmick

"Worst President Ever!" window display at the San Francisco "Marc by Marc Jacobs" store

The upscale "Marc by Marc Jacobs" fashion outlet at 2142 Fillmore Street in San Francisco's exclusive Pacific Heights shopping district recently unveiled a new window display: seven-foot-high blue letters spelling out the phrase

"WORST PRESIDENT EVER!".

Leah Garchik, the gossip columnist for The San Francisco Chronicle, scored an exclusive scoop when she mentioned the window display in her June 2, 2006 column and then called up the Marc Jacobs company headquarters. According to Garchik:

The windows were ordered up by the visual department of Jacobs' New York office, which tells me they were specified only for San Francisco. Store manager Moe Salimi said that no passer-by has complained.
There was no photo accompanying Garchik's column, so the next day I went to Pacific Heights myself to see the new display (EDITING NOTE: Look carefully for the message -- it isn't too obvious upon first glance!":

39. WOW! That's really amazing!

Jacobs sells Al Gore tshirts (which is about the only thing in their collection I could begin to afford).

[TroglodyteScholar]

45. "Worse Resident Ever" ?

Okay, I guess...

[NYCGirl]

46. If you look at the pictures from the inside, you can see that it says

"PRESIDENT" — it's just the angle of that particular photo that the building obscures the "P"

[TroglodyteScholar]

48. Yea, but that's a fairly straight-on view...

If you're gonna diss the preznit harsh-like, at least plan ahead...... ;)

[Egnever]

77. Resident is pretty harsh I think.

Even better than president in faact.

[Egnever]

78. WoW!!!

That is outstanding! Granted it is in SF but still....Amazing!

[Taoschick]

35. If

He already had a contract with the station, they won't just cancel it because they are picking up AAR shows....especially if he generates any income for them. Radio is a business, after all. Now, if AAR starts to generate real income for that station and the listeners let the management know how they feel, Williams most likely won't see his contract renewed.

[NYCGirl]

40. Let's keep our fingers crossed on that! NT

[annabanana]

21. huh. . . .. Lucky us.. . . . . .n/t

[tnlefty]

22. I really don't care if it's only in NYC as he shouldn't on the same

station as AAR at all. Wow, just f'n wow! Will Bill Bennett sub for him when he's on vacation?

[NYCGirl]

28. That show was part of the deal for the station. No deal, no station. No

AAR in NYC.

[Garbo 2004]

9. As Rachel noted, Williams is not on AAR but has a program on the NYC

affiliate station AAR just moved to from WLIB.

[butterfly77]

26. RepubliCONS

have been plannin this for a while because they hate for the truth to be heard, be prepared for more. Boy, I really hate these people.

[no_hypocrisy]

43. Correction: Armstrong Williams is paired with Sam Greenfield, a very

seasoned, reasoned, and progressive voice on the radio. You are missing a great opportunity if you don't give this show a chance. It ISN'T "The Armstrong Williams Show" by a long shot.

[Marr]

69. Maybe Williams' show counts as a paid advertisement.

He's on the Bush payroll, after all.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. I am slipping into the attitude...

Of FUCK AAR. I tried to resist it, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that the suits there have that well-known suit disease:

Devoid 'o Clue.

[tridim]

14. Randi, Sam, Rachel, Pap and Kennedy should quit in protest

Add Mike to that group and they could start a kick ass REAL progressive network with guaranteed listenership.

I'm still listening to AAR mostly for Randi, but I feel really dirty doing so.

[KittyWampus]

19. Maybe you should give it up. You listed 5 great radio hosts. Why should

they quit in protest? Cause ONE host is gone?

[CountAllVotes]

3. you lost me AirAmerica Radio

Never again, never you assholes! NEVER! You fire the best talk show host that wins an award for it and you give Randi Rhodes a raise? Financial reasons is what you say. Liar liar, pants on fire! :grr: :argh:

:dem: :kick:

[AlCzervik]

4. is that Armstrong Williams the same Payola Armstrong Williams?

[Cleita]

5. I don't think there is two of them and even if there was a leftie

AW I'd think they'd change their name to not be associated with the other one.

[AlCzervik]

7. what in hell is going on at AAR?

[flyarm]

53. it is called total sell out..shut them off!!..i am shutting them down

in my household..and i have xm through entire house..i am shutting air america off..for good..unless mike is brought back i am done with air america!

fly

[ronnykmarshall]

94. You do that, sweetie.

You go on and do just that.

I'll be right behind ya ........... listening to AAR.

[NYCGirl]

8. He works with a liberal partner on the show. Williams is a leftie Colmes.

[AlCzervik]

10. Williams is a leftie Colmes? I'm sorry i don't "Get It" are you saying

Armstrong Williams is a leftie now?

[Garbo 2004]

12. No. He's the rightie foil to a liberal cohost as Colmes is a foil for

Hannity.

[AlCzervik]

15. ok thanks for clearing that up, sometimes it takes me a bit

like my granpa used to say to me "Sometimes if you throw enough shit against a wall some of it bound to stick honey"

[patrice]

16. So who's the Left Leftie going to be?

[Cleita]

13. This Armstrong Williams is a lefty?

[NYCGirl]

18. I meant a RIGHTIE Colmes. Sorry, brain fart. His partner (the liberal) is

Sam Greenfield.

http://www.wwrl1600.com/

[KittyWampus]

20. Anyway, Rachel's note says he's just a hold over as AAR moves to new

station. And it sounds like a temporary holdover.

[annabanana]

24. You mean just until his contract is up?. . . . . n/t

[Garbo 2004]

38. I kinda doubt that it's just a matter of waiting till contracts expire.

The Greenfield & Williams show is WWRL's program. AAR just leases airtime on WWRL. And apparently, according to the rumors at least, WWRL made it a condition of the deal with AAR that WWRL keeps this program in morning drive time. If it was such a critical point in negotiations, I suspect WWRL intends to hang on to that time slot indefinitely for its own programming.

Meanwhile, WLIB's gone all gospel programming.

[annabanana]

41. Sunday Morning isn't AAR programming on 1600 - blech .n/t

[flyarm]

54. well gee air america had no problem dumping MIke Malloy with a verbal

contract...so keeping williams why?? this is bullshit folks..this is pre election manipulation..just shut fucking air america off..fuck them!

fly

[Garbo 2004]

86. Because WWRL had AAR over a barrel if it insisted on not leasing that slot

to AAR? AAR was out at WLIB (and I wonder what's the story behind that) and wanted to maintain a NYC presence in some fashion to tout as a "flagship" station. As the clocked ticked down, it appears AAR faced not having any affiliate station in NYC unless it accepted WWRL's terms.

How it came to that and why/how lost WLIB might be an interesting story.

[ronnykmarshall]

91. It's the LOCAL NYC station ONLY!!!!

Jesus Christ w/ a side of slaw!

[ronnykmarshall]

95. You said that already.

We get the picture.

"fuck air america"

"i'm never listening again"

"if you fucking idiots don't do the same as me then your a bunch of right wing, dlc poo-poo heads".

Yes, hon we get the message.

[Cleita]

25. I don't know. Everytime conservatives are involved, it's usually

a good bet they are lying so that they can complete their deals unmolested. We'll see.

[TheWatcher]

31. I would imagine you are right but as usual many believe there is nothing

to see here.

The level of denial is breathtaking around here sometimes, because what you described is EXACTLY the M.O. that would be used if a concerted effort were underway to undermine and destroy AAR.

What puzzles me is the incredible level of denial that the Right would want to do such a thing.

After all we have seen, and what we know about their underhanded practices, tactics, and strategies, there is still to much whistling past the graveyard everyday and an attitude the equivalent of what most doctors will tell you are the 5 Most Dangerous Words To Your Health:

"Maybe It Will Go Away."

I hope that many of us are not reflecting back on this a few months from now saying, regrettably, I Told You So.

That being said AAR is going in the WRONG direction.

It's the only Liberal/Progressive network there is.

With all the Right Wing Talk dominating the airwaves, there is NO NEED for them to be "Fair And Balanced", and in my opinion, ANY move in the direction that deviates from that they are supposed to be, an alternative oasis for Liberal/Progressive talk and thought, SHOULD be greeted with suspicion.

Something has stunk from the beginning of this whole "re-shuffling of the deck"

And the smell continues to grow worse.

My 2 cents.

I'm sure an apologist or two will be along shortly to extinguish my "alarmist rhetoric", so not to worry.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

[Cleita]

33. It won't take long, but stand firm. I know I do. n/t

[KittyWampus]

44. Denial? I'm going on the opinion of some DU'ers who work in radio

and I value THEIR opinion over those who know squat about radio programming and business models.

[ronnykmarshall]

92. Oh now come on!

Why would you want to take the word of someone that WORKS in radio!

Oh peshaw!

That's just crazy talk!

Everyone KNOWS "those people" are just right wing plants!

:sarcasm:

[flyarm]

55. to TheWatcher..you are 100% correct!!

and they did this to Mike when Randi was on vacation..randi did a wonderful praise of Mike Malloy before she went on vacation..they did this so she couldn't revolt..and they just signed her to a long term contract...this was a cowards way for air america to go dlc!!

i say shut them the fuck off..if we put up with this now..what is the ne=xt propaganda move they will make..shut them the fuck down..just like we did lieberman..shut them down and show them our power!!

remember we are the majority..if we let them do this now..whats next..right now frankin is a joke..and springer even worse..

we must make a stand..now before we can't in the future..we are their bread and butter..

show them our power!

[november3rd]

36. Let's roll

This sounds like a *FUN* opportunity for us to:

1. Organize populist surge onto the airwaives by
2. Mass call-ins to the Armstrong Williams show with
3. Relentless truthseeker truthtelling about
4. Corporate media, Republican shills and
5. Taking back the People's airwaves.

We should start a permanent thread/discussion on DU called, "AAR NYC Counterattack."

PS. Hey, Rachel, if it was really "financial," maybe AAR could hire me as a host. I'm really loquacious, knowledgeable, and I'll work for peanuts. In fact, peanuts are my favorite food. Who should I send my business plan proposal to?

[PBass]

42. Hold your horses...

The schedule changes don't take place until mid-September. Air America is on a new station, but the schedule won't change for a couple more weeks.

At that point, hopefully Springer is gone, Armstrong Williams show is gone. Maddow moves to a better time slot (evenings, 7 to 10 I think) and Seder moves to a better time slot (9am to noon).

This means there are still two major slots open: 10 pm to 1 am, and 5am to 9am.

This is just what I read, I have no special access or info.

It sucks that these changes didn't happen at the same time, but that's life.

[ronnykmarshall]

96. HOW DARE YOU???

Speaking REASONABLY??

Don't you know that we have to burn that mother fucker down??

Oh look at you and your pussy foot ways.

Oooooooo let's looks at some FACTS!

Jeeeeze!! You gonna bake some cookies next ol' Mary Sunshine?

:sarcasm:

Sorry, but these foaming at the mouth "I HATE AAR" threads are such good entertainment.

[annagranfors]

47. lemonade outta lemons

a) if I was Malloy, I'd never go NEAR AAR again. waiting until the man was on his way into work to call him to tell him he's fired? when he's doing a favor to them by guesthosting on a show that's on seven hours earlier than he's used to? it's just a profound lack of respect for a man who truly deserves as much respect as they could've shown him.

b) and I was just thinking this morning about just what a fine network could be made from, say:

Mike Malloy
Marc Maron
Bernie Ward
Bob Kincaid
Ian Masters
and after she finds a way out of her contract, Randi Rhodes?

step back a second and admire all that righteous liberal anger, and contrast it to the inoffensive centrism that AAR is seemingly aiming at. I know *I'd* personally pay good cash money to hear it. and if there's still such a thing as a good capitalist, they'd be wise and prescient to back and/or sponsor such a venture, whether it'd be broadcast, internets, both, or something else.

[Beelzebud]

49. Ok they fire Malloy and put a Bush paid propgandist on? Fuck them.

Armstrong Williams, the fucking Bush Crime Family propagandist is on AAR, but MIKE FUCING MALLOY ISN'T?

FUCK AAR.

At this point I hope Malloy refuses to go back to that piece of shit outfit.

What a fucking joke...

[LTR]

50. EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS

Look, I know many of you just won't understand this, but here goes:

Armstrong Williams DOES NOT WORK FOR AAR!

He works for WWRL, which carries his morning show, and AAR programming the rest of the day. WWRL IS NOT AAR, and AAR IS NOT WWRL!!! They are seperate companies, and WWRL is merely an affiliate of AAR. Plain and simple.

AAR is not doing this as a way to ease wingnuts onto the airwaves. They have no control over this. It is a WWRL issue. It is not part of a conspiracy. Karl Rove is not behind this. Think realistically here, and stop spazzing.

Granted, AAR has made some boneheaded moves (like canning Malloy in the fashion they did), but at least they picked up a new affiliate in NYC, and one that has fairly decent reach at that (a slight step down from AAR, but it could have been worse). I'd say AAR did not come out looking too bad on the NYC deal, Armstrong Williams aside.

[Beelzebud]

51. The fact that Payola Williams is on their station is a fucking disgrace.

If that is their idea of negotiating a deal, then it's no wonder they fired Malloy on his way to work to sub for Randi.

I don't care that AAR doesn't sign his checks; they don't need to! The Bush Crime Family signs his checks, and the fact that he's now on AAR makes it a fucking laughingstock.

[NYCGirl]

52. You won't be able to hear him. You live in Illinois, according to your

profile. And BTW, I'm looking forward to hearing Sam Greenfield — I heard he's good?

[flyarm]

56. fuck williams and fuck air america..and i can hear it..and i will no

longer listen to air america..i put a system through my new home with surrus first..than had to change it all over to xm so i could listen to mike malloy..but in my car i listen to NY radio...and i will say this loud and clear..fuck air america!

i listened to air america for one reason only and that was MIKE MALLOY..

i occassionally listened to Randi but only because i got xm to listen to MIKE MALLOY..but now i am done with air america..

fuck those dlc ass suckers!

and i just called them and said the same!

fly

[NYCGirl]

57. What a sad attitude. Best of luck with whatever else you choose to listen

to. I hope they share that "purer than thou" attitude.

:thumbsdown:

[Beelzebud]

58. It's our right to decide what media we listen to.

And it's AAR's right to choose thier an-air talent.

They choose people we don't like, and fire the ones we do, it's not really us making the decisions. It's them..

They have chosen to alienate a certain percentage of the poeple that have been with them since the beghinning; in favor of the idea that they can bring in new non-existant listeners by moving to "the center".

They have made the decisions. Now they have to deal with the results.

[NYCGirl]

59. So you don't like Rachel Maddow or Sam Seder or Randi Rhodes?

Fine, turn it off. But don't think everyone else is going to follow you.

[Beelzebud]

61. I don't expect people to. I'm stating what I'm doing.

No one is telling you not to listen to them.

I'm stating that I won't be.

[NYCGirl]

65. Of course, you're still assuming the reasoning behind the decisions AAR

makes.

[Beelzebud]

67. I'm reacting to what they have done. Nothing more.

They had my support until recently. It started when they dumped Lizz Whinstead, then Mark Maron, then threatened Sam's job, and now just dumped Malloy on the side of the road like a discarded Happy Meal. The firing of Malloy was the last straw. For about year I've said that if they ever fired Malloy that would be it for me, as he was the last show I was listening to on a daily basis. Now that he's been dumped, there is no reason for me to stick around listening to them.

Give me a reason to like them. The first 2 years they were on the air, they gave me plenty of reasons to like them. Now... not so much.

[flyarm]

79. you assume whatever you want and you listen to whoever you want

i put in a $20,000.00 system to listen to mike malloy without having to listen to the computer..

and now fuck them..i will listen to coast to coast ..

and no i do not listen to the others..i listened to MIKE MALLOY ..i listened to him when he was in chicago, and i listened to him with his other network...

and as far as i am concerned ..air america is dead!

new house was being built...but it cost more because i already bought the sirrus dual component..then had to eat it..when air america jumped ship to xm!

but i believed that that was what they needed to do to stay viable..so i didn't complain i just sucked it up...

I'm sorry, but $20K for talk radio is a bit steep. For that much, the hosts should be sitting in my car while I drive. And they better kick in gas money too!

I'll sell you a stamp for $390 so you can mail him a sympathy letter. Let me know if you're in.

i bought 2 not one but two systems..first surrus then when air amewrica fucked most of their listeners..i switched to XM..and it cost me a bumndle..but i thought mike was worth it..

:hi:

[no_hypocrisy]

68. Thank you back. Trust me on this one. I've been following

Sam Greenfield since February 1999 when he first came to WEVD in New York City. He got my attention right away with his rhetoric, his humor, and compassion. He is what I want more talkshow hosts to be like. He is just plain refreshing. And for what it's worth, I almost feel sorry for Armstrong when he goes against Sam, because it just isn't a "fair fight" as debates go.

[NYCGirl]

[Horse with no Name]

60. Morning drive is THE MOST important time slot

on the air.
Your morning show is what defines you as a radio station.
Arbitron ratings are based on key time slots--with morning drive being one of those.
So...do you REALLY think that when this radio station presents their book to advertisers--that you will hear progressive advertisers?
Do you really WANT to hear advertising for Rush Limbaugh? or campaign ads on AAR for Republicans?
How do you explain to someone that isn't a politicaholic that this is just business--we just want money so we sold out?
How many casual listeners are going to listen to this asshat on the air and confuse him with one of us? They are making the argument that we are flip-flops. You hear one viewpoint in the morning and the other the rest of the day.
Is there any difference in ONLY selling your soul a little or entirely?
This is a political move.
Morning drive in NYC. One of the BEST times to get a progressive message and candidates out there--and AAR has blown it.
I'm sorry--whether you believe it or not, AAR is enabling a Neocon message. They would be better off staying silent than to do this.

[NYCGirl]

63. You do realize that the first billed, Sam Greenfield, is a liberal?

Williams is not doing a solo show. I would suspect New Yorkers are savvy enough to know the difference.

70. First, listen to Sam and Army tomorrow morning before you

make up your mind. Their show isn't as black-and-white (literally and figuratively) as you might imagine.

[Horse with no Name]

73. Actually, I hear that Rush Limpaugh is teaming up with Randi Rhodes

on his station.
I think I might want to listen to that.:sarcasm:

[NYCGirl]

74. I'd pay money to listen to that. She'd tear him to pieces.

:evilgrin:

[NYCGirl]

71. Maybe I don't like to judge before I hear it first. Maybe I just realize

that AAR wouldn't have a NYC station if they didn't keep this show on the air, so it's the price I'll have to pay to have some radio to listen to in my office that isn't right wing. Maybe I just really, really want AAR to succeed because besides not having any radio to listen to, I'd have to hear about Limbaugh and Hannity and O'Reilly gloating for months and months.

If that's being an apologist, then I am an apologist.

[Horse with no Name]

75. The thing that AAR has proven

is that there is a market for progressive radio.
If they don't succeed at it--someone else will.

[flyarm]

85. they won't succeed..because of their bullshit moves!..they are done! n/t

they bring in these young punks who are clueless to what they are doing..and then they pull these bone assed moves..

Since the rumor started, Al has softened so as not to leave lots of crap for coleman to use against him. Even with that, coleman will try to tar and feather him anyway, so I don't know what it helps.
Go Al, we need you to take out Hollowman coleman!
:pals:

87. Good luck clarifying that. People still bitch about having Schultz on AAR

despite the fact that he isn't.

88. It's an extremely easy mistake to make because so many

local stations which carry AAR insert Schultz into the AAR broadcasting.

For instance, in San Diego, AM1360 KLSD is the only local station that carries Air America broadcasts. During weekdays, from 9am to noon, AAR's Al Franken is on. Then noon-3pm it's Ed Schultz. Then 3pm-6pm it's Randi Rhodes.

For someone who doesn't know all about it, it seems at first impression that Schultz is part of AAR.

106. HA HA!

I'm just tired of reading the knee-jerk stuff. If people would take a step back and perhaps inhale, then exhale, some rational thought might come about.

Weird concept, but it's been known to work.
