What's up with Randy Rhodes ?

[bigdarryl]

I just tuned to her show and the promo said welcome to the Nancy Skinner show. I'm not felling this woman she has to many DAMN republicans on interviewing.Any news on what's going on with Randy?

[rurallib]

1. Sounds like she and NovaM have a contract dispute and Rhandi is probably gone

[bigdarryl]

2. Is that what you are hearing? or rumor

[backscatter712]

3. Stick a fork in her - she's done.

Looks like Randi's going back to being a local radio host somewhere. Nobody's talking, but it looks like Randi and Nova-M got into a nasty pissing contest.

[bigdarryl]

5. Meaning they probably wanted to SANCTION her on what she says on the air

And she said hell no Randy isn't having it found this and Nova is saying it is her doing http://www.novamradio.com/live/rhodes_about.php

[Mist]

10. That's what I was going to post--the link to the Nova message site. Sounds like

Nova wants her back, so the trouble isn't with NovaM, but probably with Clear Channel.

Hope Randi breaks her silence soon to let us know what's going on.

I gave Nancy Skinner a try, for about 4 hours (2 hours one day, about 2 hours the next day) and I'm unimpressed.

I'll go to maronvseder I guess. I like it okay, but I liked it much better when Sam had a regular 3-hour show.

Edited to add: Randi's regular message board (which by contract is her personal property) can't be accessed right now.

Edited to add: according to a message from Randi (posted down-thread) it seems it IS NovaM, and Clear Channel may have nothing to do with this dispute.

21. She'll be back.

Randi has a national audience and a ton of fans. Someone will get her back on the air soon!

[Paulaguyon]

28. I will not miss Randi Rhodes

Considering the fact that she called Hillary Clinton a "big f****** wh***".

[rhett o rick]

33. Yeah, Randy isn't for the weak at heart. nm

[SharonRB]

4. There's nothing wrong with having Republicans on --

it shows them for what they are and they hang themselves by their own words. Nancy happens to like debating them. Her style and Randi's style are very different and they're each good in their own way.

[bigdarryl]

6. I don't listen to Progressive radio to hear rethugs on EVERYDAY!!!!

[marshall]

16. it's a segue into the new fairness doctrine

They'll be ready for it when it comes, and nary a beat will be missed.

[biscotti]

7. Try wjno her home radio station

[Mist]

11. No, Nancy Skinner's on WJNO also. Drag. nt

[SharonRB]

19. That's a repeat of Nancy's show from Friday, not today's show

Looks like they'll most likely be carrying Randi when she's ready.

[DeeDeeNY]

8. I hope she finds something soon

Radio needs all the progressive voices it can get.

[zulchzulu]

9. Her web site is 404 and NovaM statement

http://www.therandirhodesshow.com/

To all of Randi's listeners;

You are all correct - I have not had the option to disclose what has been happening between Randi and Nova M...

You see, it's in her contract that she has total control, but, after Wednesday night, I want you all to know that Nova M has done everything we can to get her back on the air.

All this is her choice; if she wants to tell you all what the issue is, then I hope she does, but I can't according to her contract rules.

But I can tell you this I have wanted her back on the air. She's an amazing talent and needs to be heard.

Thank you all for all of your support.

Randi now has to make her decisions as to what she must do with her career...

12. It's not 404 now!

http://www.therandirhodesshow.com

TO ALL:
NOVA M RADIO HAS NOT YET CORRECTED THE PROBLEM THAT HAS KEPT ME OFF THE AIR
DESPITE MY STRONG DESIRE AND READINESS TO BROADCAST MY SHOW. RESPECTING THE
EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP THAT HAS EXISTED BETWEEN NOVA M AND ME, AND
EXPECTING THE SOLUTION TO BE QUICKLY ACHIEVED, DETALIS OF THE TRIGGERING
EVENT WERE WITHHELD IN GOOD FAITH. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS MUCH: ANY
STATEMENT IMPLICATING ME AS BEING IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISRUPTION
IN THE RANDI RHODES SHOW IS PATENTLY FALSE. THIS ENTIRE SITUATION IS
SOLELY WITHIN THE CONTROL OF NOVA M.
IN LIGHT OF MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS, MY SHOW WILL BE SEEKING A NEW HOME.
I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR CONTINUED PATIENCE AND INDULGENCE IN RESPECTING MY
RIGHTS DURING THIS TIME. YOUR UNWAVERING SUPPORT IS CHERISHED. THANK YOU.


RANDI RHODES

[ellacott]

14. I still can't get the site

[Mist]

15. tledford--can you fix the link? that one's still 404. Where did you find the

message from Randi?

[tledford]

20. Link works for me.

Sorry, folks, but when I got the http://www.therandirhodesshow.com I get that page that I copied/pasted, the paragraph of all-upper-case text. Just went there again, and it was the same text, although formatted differently.

I suppose it is possible that the site is up-and-down, but every time I have gone there today (three times) I get the text I posted above.

[4lbs]

22. Try clearing your browser cache and getting to it.

I can't get to it either.

[tledford]

23. Cleared all browser data from Chrome and I still get the all-caps paragraph. eom

[4lbs]

32. I opened up a command prompt and tried pinging the site.

It came back with a "Unknown host" error.

So, it looks like it's a DNS issue that has yet to fully propogate.

[zulchzulu]

18. New Country-Western tune: She's An ALL CAPS Kinda Gal n/t

[DangerousRhythm]

13. Crazy!

I'd love to know what's going on, myself. D:

[Bobbie Jo]

17. ...and she's not the most adept debater to be playing host to the opposition.

I wanted to give her a chance, but so far I not impressed.

[backscatter712]

31. Some progressive radio hosts fly that way.

Nancy Skinner is one of them, and there are a few others - Thom Hartmann occasionally brings Republicans on his show so he can debate them (though few Repulicans take Thom up on his invitations - he usually tears them to shreds. :evilgrin: )

We shouldn't be like Rush. Our side shouldn't be screening out all dissenters so callers and guests only say "Hey, dittos to you, I agree with everything you say!"

We're the adult party, and we can tolerate dissent and stand on our own when debating the other side.

[Dying Eagle]

24. How about a home on Sirius

Anybody to replace that stupid bitch Lynn Samuels!!!!

[Sebastian Doyle]

26. They should just air Thom Hartmann live and uninterrupted

to replace the vile PUMAtroll racist bitch Samuels.

[rhett o rick]

35. Are you Sirius?? Sorry, had to do it. Sirius-XM are filing bankruptcy i believe. nm

[MrSlayer]

25. Not much, he's been dead since 1982.

You must mean Randi Rhodes, the talk show host.

[Sebastian Doyle]

27. Mike Malloy pretty much confirmed what we all suspect

"I'm not going to make any comments about Randi Rhodes and Nova M, except to say she no longer works for Nova M, I don't know how to get in touch with her, and if you do see her, tell her Mike says Hi".

[AndrewP]

29. Yep. That's a wrap

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

30. My day has not been complete without my Randi fix. I'm saddened to hear this.

As must she gets on my goddamn nerves sometimes, she is a great mind and a amazing talent.

[rhett o rick]

34. Hell she gets on my nerves ALL the time...... that's why i love her. She will be back.

Can't keep a good (fill in you choice, i forgot the stupid clique) down.

[itsrobert]

36. I hope XM brings back Randi. Nancy Skinner is awful

And I certainly am not paying XM for Nancy Skinner.
