Air America
I am trying to put into words my feelings grammatically correct and won't succeed. Please excuse me, but I am really ticked with Air America. I am ready to puke with all of their best.... what? since before Christmas? Their website is not available....excuse my language but what the f---? If one is trying to gain an audience, one must be available. Right? If you are not there for current information who wants the old stuff? I am beginning to believe Air America is a half ass station and they better get their act together.

At your work, can your entire department take off at the same time to vacation? Well, not mine we all had to coordinate our vacations so our times off would not cause any problems with our business. But, ARR everyone takes off at the same time and screw everyone. Great representation for progressives, dems, or whatever you want to call yourselves.

I just find this unbelievable.!!!!

Dems. take off for vacation --- do the pukes?

It seems to me we can't afford time off even if the pukes do.

Sorry, I am so ticked, I hope you English majors won't flame me.

2. The website is perfectly fine. I was just there. And it's the holidays...
TV is all reruns and hosts, etc. take the time off because viewership/listeners decline.

Chill, please.

6. You surprise me!
I thought you would want current news and talk from ARR! Let's take a break, rest and relax and forget the rest of the world. Sounds like the fundies to me.

We are the minority we can't take a break. The reality is the world continues while the Dems. rest.

4. I think what you're trying to say is...
Dear Air America:

Please pull your collective head out of your collective ass, and fix your fucking webcast so I can start listening again. Or better yet, get a broadcast affiliate in my area.

Thank you.

5. hrm... and I thought it was just my cranky PC acting up
So I take it others haven't been able to connect to their webcasts either?

I do live in an area that's served by an Air America affiliate, but it's a very weak station (~10K watts, I believe, pretty much unreachable at night.)

7. Had The Same Problem
This weekend but got through by going around to another site and selecting the "Listen Live..." section on the left.
Ring of Fire was quite good today. Would recommend the rebroadcast coming up on Sunday to everyone who did not hear it today.

11. thanks, but... realmedia link? think I'll pass
I've had some problems with realmedia in the past and would prefer to keep it off my PC. I'll just hang loose until the Windoze media gets back on line.

15. I know what you mean
I haven't listened in about 10 days - those "best of" things do not help with current events and news. These folks take a lot of time off - all the major holidays and all we get is repeats.

Maybe we should email the headquarters and tell them how we feel nicely. I don't know.

13. Meantime
Maybe you'd enjoy Karel on KGO. He's on live right now http://www.kgoam810.com/
And then there's Nate Clay afterward http://www.wlsam.com/showdj.asp?DJID=1623

Tomorrow night, Peter Werbe will probably be a live broadcast.

Hope you find something else to tide you over.

14. Radio Is Not In A Ratings Period Now & Typically
people in radio do take off around the holidays for these two reasons. It's a total drag because of the S.E. Asia disaster.
