with Air America...go here
http://www.majorityreportradio.com/weblog/archives/000041.html<slice>
AAR has leased air time on WNTD (CHI) and KBLA (LA) from a radio holding company that owns both stations. I'm not privy to the details as I am not management and our legal counsel is not in house so I can't eavesdrop on them. With that said, there is some kind of contractual dispute regarding the LA station. The holding company seems to be using the Chicago station as leverage regarding the LA station. I know that AAR is seeking an injunction against the holding company's taking AAR off the air. There seems to be a lot of optimism that we will get that injunction. From the little that I know of legal matters, that is an indication, that at the very least, our legal counsel feels that we are in the right in this dispute and that a judge will feel that way too. I suspect that the holding company hopes that our desire to be on the air will overpower any sense that we are getting screwed contractually.
On line there are some rumours about right wing elements pressuring the holding company to pull us off the air. As much as I'd like to, I don't buy it. I think this is probably a typical hardball business scenario that is indicative of AAR's unexpected success and somebody who was betting against that success trying to renegotiate.
In the meantime, streams are available at the AAR site!
So there you have it my friends! AAR is exceeding everyone's expectations! GOODNIGHT LIMBAUGH...to you and the rest of your bile spewing maggots!:thumbsup:
