Air America Goes Off the Air

First #41...Then SCOTUS now.......they lost their crappy station.
"Air America Radio, a progressive radio network that once aired commentary from Al Franken and Rachel Maddow, said Thursday it is shutting down immediately.
The company founded in April 2004 said it ceased airing new programs Thursday afternoon and will soon file to be liquidated under Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It began broadcasting reruns of programs and would end those as well Monday night.
Air America said 10 consecutive quarters of declining ad revenue and the difficulty of making money on the Internet contributed to its financial woes.
"The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business. This past year has seen a `perfect storm' in the media industry generally," the company said in a statement on its Web site.
The network had some 100 radio outlets nationwide.
Franken, a Democrat, hosted his own show from 2004 to 2007 before going on to become a U.S. senator from Minnesota last year after a close election. Maddow went on to host her own TV show on MSNBC."

I wouldn't count on BSNBC being around much longer in it's current format. Mathews has blown his credibility, Madcow could actually survive. Olgerman, gone. Be interesting to see what happens once Comcast takes over.

Yea, I flipped that on the other day expecting to get my daily dose of classic rock, and heard constant talk. I'm sure it will be popular since half the city is full of retired military and Tea Baggers.

Wouldn't be hard to find. There are three Mexican restaurants within one block of my house. One of them is in an old Dairy Queen. I asked them for a Blizzard one time, and they said all they have now are raspas.

Those are the famous tourist traps. Decent food, but I can send you to about 20 other 'hole in the walls' that make thier food taste like Taco Bell. Not to mention, it's about 30% cheaper.

We do those to, there is one I really like that is near that Adventist high school and college, (it is something like that) they are stinking good too, a little more authentic. I can't remember what it is called. I like margarita's better, their grilled food is dang good. I haven't eaten their more "traditional" fares.

Thats the one thing I miss about living in So Cal. Great mexican food. In Montana Taco Bell was about the best Mexican you can get, No Joke

Colorado is good but not as good as Cal.
