I went to high school in Tempe, and ASU. I have an enormous emotional connection to Air America, having never heard anything like it in the American Air before. I live in California now, sometimes streaming, sometimes AM 1320. It is truly a learning channel. High-powered everything. It may never die.
I wonder, isn't it legal to broadcast local AM within a certain radius? And wouldn't it be a good thing for people in Phoenix to stream and rebroadcast in little pods? Probably illegal.
Sooner or later, it has to happen. The market for it is strong, mostly because fact is a commodity. Whatever offers fact is valuable; whatever leads one over the cliff is not. I find AAR incredibly addictive, and I've NEVER listened to talk radio in my life. But if I don't hear Randi, I'm out of the loop.
For right wingers to remain competitive in the face of ANY open liberal dialogue radio or television, they must shut it down. Thus the CACI lawsuit.

I think CACI should be denied all federal contracts, in perpetuity. Criminals, all.

Good luck, Phoenix. You've got Joe Arpaio to deal with, and gangs of roaming rednecks here and there. Now that sucks. But I also remember a great underground art scene, and I remember pockets of good people everywhere, especially at ASU.

Democracy is coming to the USA. I swear it.
