Air America again to be off in Chicago

Chicago Tribune

It was on, then it was off, then it was on again, and now it will be off again...

Air America Radio, the recently launched liberal talk-radio network that became embroiled last week in a financial dispute with the owner of its Chicago and Los Angeles stations, will cease broadcasting over WNTD-950 AM in Chicago April 30...

The network also said it will remain off the air for the time being in Los Angeles...

...the network must seek new homes in the nation's second- and third-largest markets just 2 1/2 weeks into its life...

...Chicago and Los Angeles combined constitute 37 percent of Air America's potential audience, and both are regarded by industry insiders as essential to selling national advertising...

...Air America is on the air in nine other markets, including New York and Minneapolis. Its programs are also available on the Sirius and XM satellite radio services.
It looks like AA got scammed by this Lui fellow and they fell for it. This could really hurt the future of the project.
