I've just learned, from Wonkette of all places, that Air America has decided to fire Mike Malloy and terminate his program. As of last week, they had assured him he would be on the air for at least another year. There won't be a Malloy program on the air tonight. This hasn't been announced by the network, is not on the AAR site, and will come as a surprise to their loyal listeners who, apparently, they don't give a shit about.
And this after just finding out on Rachel Maddow's program (the network told her she wasn't allowed to say this, but she decided to anyway, regardless of the consequences) that, when the station switches over to 1600AM, WRRL, tomorrow, they're keeping the morning show from that station! Once again, with no announcement to listeners. What she didn't mention was that the new morning show is hosted by Sam Greenfield and Armstrong Williams. YES, THAT ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS, the one who is in the pants of the Bush Administration.
I think I speak for all Air America listeners when I ask, WHAT THE FUCK?
What is the board doing to the network? They've come so far, but Unfiltered with Chuck D and Lizz Winstead was cancelled, Morning Sedition with Marc Maron was cancelled, then Marc Maron's own show was cancelled a few weeks ago, and Rachel Maddow is moving from morning drive to 6-8pm only to be replaced by a slimey douche.
