AIR AMERICA BOUNCES CHECK AND IS PULLED OFF THE AIR IN LOS ANGELES AND CHICAGO
From
The Drudge Report:
After just two weeks on the air, Air America Radio, the fledgling liberal talk-radio network featuring AL FRANKEN and JANEANE GAROFALO, has been pulled of the air this morning in Chicago and Los Angeles, the network's second and third largest markets, because, the owner of both stations said, the network bounced a check and owes him more than $1 million. A charge the network strongly denies.
A Chicago source familiar with the situation said a Multicultural representative showed up at WNTD's offices Wednesday morning, kicked out Air America's lone staffer overseeing the network's feed to the station from New York, switched over to a Spanish-language feed, and changed the locks on the doors.
Air America filed a complaint Wednesday in New York state Supreme Court charging Multicultural with breaching their contract and seeking an injunction to force Multicultural to restore the Air America broadcast on both stations.
