STATION OWNER CLAIMS: AIR AMERICA 'BOUNCES CHECK'; LIBERAL RADIO NET TAKEN OFF IN LOS ANGELES, CHICAGO AFTER ONLY TWO WEEKS
Wed Apr 14 2004 16:18:43 ET

After just two weeks on the air, Air America Radio, the fledgling liberal talk-radio network featuring Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo, appears to have encountered serious cash-flow problems.

The CHICAGO TRIBUNE is developing a story, insiders tell DRUDGE, on how the network was pulled off 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.

If this is true, it's odd that Air America is claiming that the stations breached the contract. Bouncing a check sounds like a breach of contract to me. If I bounce a check to Comcast, they reserve the right to yank my cable service. If I bounce a check to SCJ Insurance Services, they reserve the right to cancel my car insurance policy. So by the same token, if Air America bounces checks, these stations have the right to yank their service of providing listeners.
 
Coming apart at a record speed, I'd say.

s it marks four weeks on the air today, Air America Radio, the liberal talk-radio network, will do so without two of its senior executives and without any long-term arrangements to broadcast in Chicago and Los Angeles.

One day, maybe, they'll understand that the right-wing conservative talk shows aren't particularly well financed (at least at the beginning) just liked.
