Looks like Randi is off the air.

[ronnykmarshall]

Her website is gone and this message was posted on Nova M:

To all of Randi's listeners;

You are all correct - I have not had the option to disclose what has been happening between Randi and Nova M...

You see, it's in her contract that she has total control, but, after Wednesday night, I want you all to know that Nova M has done everything we can to get her back on the air.

All this is her choice; if she wants to tell you all what the issue is, then I hope she does, but I can't according to her contract rules.

But I can tell you this I have wanted her back on the air. She's an amazing talent and needs to be heard.

Thank you all for all of your support.

Randi now has to make her decisions as to what she must do with her career...

1. I guess Randi is having a temper tantrum.

[jobycom]

2. She keeps getting fired by the people who hired her in spite of her last firing.

It gets harder and harder to believe this happens every time because she keeps standing up for her principles.

I love her show, despite its excesses at times. She is good at tying the details to the bigger picture, in ways most aren't. What is up with her that makes her so radioactive at every job?

[Occam Bandage]

3. I have a feeling she treats her coworkers like she treats her callers. nt

[jobycom]

5. You may be right. She's unpredictable.

She can be patient with someone who disagrees with her and then shred someone who is on her side, and you can't tell why.

14. I have a feeling that you're full of shit

[Lex]

23. Why?

[Occam Bandage]

28. Is it not believable? She's toxic in workplace after workplace,

she's had open tension with many of her employers and fellow hosts, and she's often short-tempered, nasty, and downright cruel to her fans who call in to agree with her. Can you not put two and two together, and come up with the possibility that she has had difficulties because of the way she treats other people?

[dkofos]

4. No great loss.

[ronnykmarshall]

6. Maybe not for you.

[emilyg]

9. Agree.

Good riddance to that raving lunatic.

25. Still mad about the primaries, are we?

:eyes:

[quickesst]

27. Ha ha....

"Still mad about the primaries, are we?"

I'm not. Hell, I thought they had treated her for the temporary insanity, and she was doing well. I guess you just never know for sure. Thanks.

29. What do I have to be mad about?

The only thing I'm mad about is that I didn't get to see the friendly comment above yours before it was deleted.

8. Randi has some issues...

I was such a huge fan of hers, I went on the Alaska cruise. She was disappointing in person. She runs white hot and ice cold - she can act like you are her new best friend one day and like she has never seen you before the next. Her ego is massive and I think some of her fame and famous friends have gone to her head. I still enjoy listening to her and learning about topical issues, but I'm not the fan I was before I met her. She helped a lot of us get through the past administration with some semblance of sanity and for that I am eternally grateful. I wish her well, but hope she gets her own reality check.

[JSK]

15. I supposed it's just part of her schtick

but I cannot stand her going on and on about how "cute" she is. She's not.

[ronnykmarshall]

18. I think she's cute.

53 AFTER!

[ronnykmarshall]

11. Anyone from the old RR message board ......

Please PM me. I started a message board .... nothing fancy at all .... but it's a place where some of us can get together and chat until Randi's back on the air.

[liberal1973]

16. Cool

[ronnykmarshall]

17. You want the link???

I'll PM it to you

[SidDithers]

19. I never liked her...

but I know many here did. Hope she gets herself right for their sakes.

20. Here is what I know that I will tell

I did a show on KPHX on Sunday Mornings and am one of the very few who actually quit and was not fired by Sheldon Drobny. The Drobnys have allowed the station rent at KPHX to go for months unpaid and then when it was time for cut off they found the money, and when we had very effective billboards here they failed to pay those which led to the end of the billboards just before the election.

Sheldon Drobny was on the ISDN line on Sunday Morning during my show and before theirs saying he was going to move the equipment to Dallas, change the locks on the station, and padlock the gate around the station. This obviously distracted my board operator Sean Ryan and instead of putting the callers on from his board, I took the callers from my side. This was passed on to Manzo who had not been informed of this until after this statement and the idea was stopped by the station owner according to my sources.

Manzo was fired after what I was told, asking questions about the founders club fund use, and while the station was actually showing profits for a couple of months, increase in advertising, and double the ratings, he was fired.

Next event was the firing of Jeff Farias which was misrepresented by the Drobnys, even in a phone call I got from Anita after I resigned from doing my show on KPHX, told me that Jeff Farias quit and was not fired that the only one that was fired was Kim, but I had heard the recording of Sheldon Drobny telling Jeff he was officially firing him. Kim's story is even more sad and shows a side of the Drobnys George W. Bush would have been proud of. Later, Sean Ryan, who in spite of the facts he had heard was fired for much the same stuff as Kim was.

The Monday that the story of Randi hit, the new station went down 6 hours here in Phoenix and since I heard before that day, that a note was on the door telling the management of the station that if the bill was not paid by Monday that the transmitter would be turned off, I can't help but believe that again the Drobnys played the we won't pay the bills game. They have fired almost everyone and have created a rift in a progressive community here that was working and growing very well.

I have heard that the situation with Randi is that the Drobnys failed to live up to their end of agreements and based on their record, it is certainly possible. What I have heard I will leave to others to reveal, but from my experience and knowledge, don't believe anything the Drobnys say because they aren't very honest folks.

24. when the Drobnys fired Jeff that was when their light went out for me.Interesting stuff, thnx :-)n/t

[Maat]

32. Thanks for the info., Sarge.

I trust your info. and instincts about the situation.

Blessings to you.

21. I noticed a certain calmness permeating the universe

[earth mom]

22. It all sounds like a money dispute. nt

[Orsino]

26. I noticed that Nancy has found time to record one of those idiotic own-gold commercials.

This smells like a permanent shift: http://therandirhodesshow.com/

TO ALL:

NOVA M RADIO HAS NOT YET CORRECTED THE PROBLEM THAT HAS KEPT ME OFF THE AIR
DESPITE MY STRONG DESIRE AND READINESS TO BROADCAST MY SHOW. RESPECTING THE
EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP THAT HAS EXISTED BETWEEN NOVA M AND ME, AND
EXPECTING THE SOLUTION TO BE QUICKLY ACHIEVED, DETALIS OF THE TRIGGERING
EVENT WERE WITHHELD IN GOOD FAITH. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS MUCH: ANY
STATEMENT IMPLICATING ME AS BEING IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISRUPTION
IN THE RANDI RHODES SHOW IS PATENTLY FALSE. THIS ENTIRE SITUATION IS
SOLELY WITHIN THE CONTROL OF NOVA M.

IN LIGHT OF MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS, MY SHOW WILL BE SEEKING A NEW HOME.
I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR CONTINUED PATIENCE AND INDULGENCE IN RESPECTING MY
RIGHTS DURING THIS TIME. YOUR UNWAVERING SUPPORT IS CHERISHED. THANK YOU.

RANDI RHODES

30. I wonder if she has more serious problems we don't know about.

With her incessant name-dropping and shouting over the callers, I had found it almost impossible to listen to her anyway.

Good luck to her though!

[mmonk]

31. Thanks ronny. Figured as much.
