Yep

This comment pretty much says it all for me too.

randi rhodes

Thank you, Air America, for doing the right thing. Good riddance to Randi Rhodes. At least with Randi, you don't have to listen to the full 3 hours of her nasal ranting. If you listen to the first 15 minutes, you can turn her off as she just repeats and repeats and repeats the same thing over and over ad nauseam

The comments she made in her "stand-up" were offensive and equivalent to using the "n" word in regards to Obama. When will women learn to respect and support each other? She doesn't have to be for Hillary, but at least show some restraint. It's obvious she was not a Hillary supporter as she has attacked her from the beginning. It is not Hillary or Obama who is creating discourse in the Democratic Party; it is radio personalities who choose not to treat the candidates equally. It's not their job to choose one candidate over the other (or is it?)

Randi Rhodes

Please go to the rush lintball site. Sounds like you have just the diposition to fit in there.Randi is Air America. Mark Green is an idiot.

By swelchApril 11, 2008 - 7:26pm

Excuse me Nancy Hayes

Truthseeker in Centra

Excuse me Nancy Hayes…3 hours of nasal ranting…do you even know what the truth is…This is about Mark Green’s greed and how AAR radio wanted to fire her be changing her contract…deal with the truth…

If you’re so offended by the words, “Fuck you” then you had better have a talk with Dick Cheney. Using the “N” word is nowhere near what RR said about Clinton and what’s her name.

Using the word, “nigger” means prejudice, murderer, hanging of black people for wanting the same rights as sissy assed white people have.

“Fuck you” does not have that meaning. You don’t have any idea what you are talking about Nancy. Ask any black person the difference between being called a nigger or a fucker. You are a right wing nut job. You don’t have any idea what you are talking about.

AAR used RR night club stand-up to fire her. This is how dishonest AAR really is. Do you think I will renew my subscription to AAR…when pigs fly.

They wanted her gone. She's gone move on

Calm down truthseeker you can go seek your truth interspersed with obnoxious self aggrandizing over on Nova M.

By LeeberalApril 12, 2008 - 6:52pm

Under one roof....in a padded cell

What is John Manzo's job? Is he going to hold the antenna out the window while Randi Rhodes orbits space in her tincan spaceship? Change the one lightbulb,oil the hinges on the screen door?

Radio elite? That is hillarious

By BILL99April 12, 2008 - 8:27pm

Grasping at straws...

Celebrity guests!?! WTF? The final nail in the coffin. Nice to have know ya. Nova M, here I come. I can only hope Sam winds up there at some point. Air America is a train wreck not worth listening to anymore.

By Sandra FischerApril 11, 2008 - 6:54pm

SIgn up Frangela!!!

They filled in for stephanie miller a few weeks back and were GREAT

oh ya - sorry to see randi split, but she wasn't happy in NY anyway. best of luck to her.

sign up Frangela !!!!!!!

By zoomApril 13, 2008 - 12:07pm

Excellent Idea!

Frangella would be great. A little more flava for the daily AA schedule since Chuck D is on late Sunday eveneing, and I can barely tune him in.

By gs4571April 14, 2008 - 10:37am

lots of anger in the comments here

I just want to say that Sam does really good radio. He is as funny as Randi and as smart as Thom. He should be given his own slot daily and I will listen every day. Sam is beginning to get national recognition for his work and has written a wonderful book Fubar. He also is technically very good as a radio show host exhibiting finesse, brilliance and humor. I will miss Randi, but most of all I miss the Air America Radio that I started with in the very beginning with Al, Morning Sedition(the best show on radio). I don't listen to Lionel(too boring and egotistical), I love Thom and Rachel, but Sam is my favorite. He makes personal contact with us in a very kind way from his Sammy cam/im format which solidifies a very loyal following.

I just finished canceling my subscription and now will get my podcast free from

http://www.progressivetalk1150.com/cc-common/podcast.html

Air america needs to figure out an effective business plan and must understand that disloyalty to someone like Sam Seder will yield disloyalty from previous very loyal fans.

Sam deserves a daily show and if he does not get it here, he will get it somewhere else.

Thanks

By mhappenowApril 12, 2008 - 4:43pm

I might have stayed with you ...

... half the time, if Sam had been in the noon spot. I would have alternated, and podcast. My subscription is still active, but I'm seriously considering canceling. At this point, I'm supporting Sam and Rachel. Not the network.

By cinea1April 13, 2008 - 12:51pm

Randi

Two things happened. The first should have been good but because of the second it isn't. The first event is that Randi left AirAmerica. Loud-mouthed and obnoxious is fine as long as you're funny and knowledgeable. Randi was only the first two so please don't cry for her. The problem is that Sam Seder didn't get Randi's gig. Sam is funny and knowledgeable. Sam knows how to talk to RWNJs. Sam is great. Randi isn't even very good. Thanks Air America.

By krxa540April 13, 2008 - 11:54pm

AA...

Maybe you need to get some hosts that people will listen to...I dunno, some names come to mind and maybe you've heard of them...

Rush Limbaugh
Neil Boortz
Sean Hannity (although I don't really like him, many do)

Just sayin' if you wanna make money, get some hosts that people actually listen too...

Hey dip shit!

What a fucking tool! Get of this board. Never mind all the progressives are moving to Nova M. Stay and listen to the mess Mark Green and Hilary have made of this once great voice...Air America is no longer the progressive voice.

By swelchApril 11, 2008 - 12:30pm

I think you misunderstand

Air American is a radio network that is coming from the viewpoint of the political LEFT. These other show hosts are all right leaning hosts, and so they wouldn't fit the market that Air America is targeting. You must not have known that. Nobody would actually be ignorant enough to make such a suggestion if they knew that.

By goofballApril 11, 2008 - 1:30pm

re:I think you misunderstand

You are an idiot. Your screen name,goofball, says it all. What a putz!

By swelchApril 11, 2008 - 1:55pm

Take it from where it came

Goofball, Rebublican'ts are known retards. Retards who support censorship and big bully tactics. As such, of course one of these botched abortions is now walking around suggesting AA hire known right wing sellouts and company men with no morals or integrity. Of course they support AA's newfound BFF status with the Clintons and strong arm tactics to censor one of the few hosts on air who had any integrity left.

By Sandra FischerApril 11, 2008 - 7:00pm

Why not Sam

I would have stayed, if AAR had been smart enough to bring Sam into the time slot. It probably does not matter though. My guess is, most affiliates will switch to Randi and would have just set Sam up again. Sam needs to be back in the evenings. He rulled the night and probably needs to go back to that.

By flyfisher23April 11, 2008 - 10:46am

Oh no - please leave in Snor Richard Greene

Acting like he is your best friend. Idiot!

Richard Greene has gotta go!

What would be better is to get those "celebrities" to do regular days with Sam!

Umm, I'm so excited about the new lineup that I cancelled

my subscription. You idiots have lost me for good. I'm taking my refund and moving over to Nova M.

The only candidate for that time slot should be Sam Seder, the best political talker out there.

The fact that you are unable to appreciate his talent tells me all I need to know about your management skills.

By stillrockinVAApril 11, 2008 - 10:47am

I want Sam Seder

Please hire Sam Seder for this time slot. It's been the best two weeks in recent memory to have him on again.

By CayApril 11, 2008 - 10:49am

Sam is my choice!

No need to shop around when the best choice is in the time slot already. Sam is intelligent, knowledgeable and entertaining. Sam Seder deserves it. Cut the search and hire him. Your listeners have spoken.......

By ArvidApril 11, 2008 - 6:05pm

Sam!!

Goddamn right. I will not miss Randi's non-stop, narcissistic self promotion. I remember "the Majority Report" as the Golden Age of AAR. Sam and Janeane were freakin' great. I still can't believe that AAR made colossal blunder of replacing Sam with the unlistenable Lionel. Now they have a chance to fix it and they are keeping Sam on the bench in favor of Belzer? WTF? Is this AAR or AARP? Sam's hilarious. He's smart. He has great guests. He puts the mojo into AAR. For the love of dogs, they need to put him back on 5 days a week.

By mrboffoApril 13, 2008 - 5:20am

SECOND!

Sam Seder is as witty as Randi and I don't have to be so afraid that he'll start cursing that I have to change to Radio Disney when my kids get in the car.

By blogbobApril 13, 2008 - 5:00pm

bad choice when are you folks going to figure out progressives

Sticking "TV stars" on the radio is not going to make people interested in Air America. Lets face it you need to find radio personalities. Randi Rhodes was a great progressive voice and yes I will be tuning in at Nova to listen to her. Your best replace choice was Sam Seder. I have heard Belzer on Real Time with Bill Maher and frankly not really that impressed. Lionel may have an audience but quite frankly since he replace Sam Seder I have tuned out. His show is lame I will not be renewing my subscription.

By rfeeApril 11, 2008 - 10:54am

Wow. Belzer. Oh boy.

By dudestein1958April 11, 2008 - 11:11am

Keep Seder!

Not like they'd actually give him a chance, but I wish they would. He's been marginalized ever since the new owners took over, and its not right. Sam Seder is one of the best hosts on the network. He deserves to be on 5 days a week.

By SGiueApril 11, 2008 - 11:44am

Seder?

Why not Sam Seder? Or at the very least have him take the morning 6-9 slot instead of rebroadcasting?

By calandraApril 11, 2008 - 11:18am

The thing that's so annoying

is the way these kinds of decisions are always sprung on the public without any warning or explanation, and apparently without any regard for what the listeners actually want. If Sam isn't going to be given this time slot, as he obviously should be, is it asking too much for AA to give us just a HINT as to the reasoning behind this decision? It's as if nobody at AA has even the slightest clue what it means to build a relationship with consumers. This bizarre obsession with secrecy and out-of-the-blue announcements of major (and often unpopular) changes aren't doing AA any favors....

By jzilberApril 11, 2008 - 11:21am

I agree

At one time, I was in radio...a lifetime ago. Used to be, stations NEVER explained what they did when people were fired, or contracts not renewed, etc. New people just showed up, and old favorites just disappeared. With the internet, it's been more open...at least for the hosts that are leaving. For the stations, the usually try to maintain a facade of composure, and don't explain anything other than a "change in direction" for that time slot. Not particularly helpful.

With a network like Air America, the decisions are made at various levels, and I assume they just don't feel they need to explain it...or possibly they don't feel they CAN explain it. They are, however, I think missing the point of liberal listeners. They WANT to know what's going on...that's why they are liberals. They care about the "why" behind what's going on.

Seems odd to see Air American taking a page out of the administrations playbook on secrecy, doesn't it?

By goofballApril 11, 2008 - 1:37pm

Okay, you're skirting a very delicate issue

You know it always comes down to:
--what entity pays the bills.
--who's signing the paychecks.
--what they want in return for this cashflow.
--is it fair for the sponsors to expect some
"controlled ambience" around their product image?
How much?
--sponsors fear of the unknown label a media may
put upon its product? Sponsors fear and hopes for broad internet exposure backfiring on their investment.

You know it always comes down to money.

By dewbie dubaiApril 11, 2008 - 1:56pm

Replace Rancid Rhodes with Marc Maron & Sam Seder

Suggestion- Phil Donahue, Dan Rather, Joy Behar
Sam Seder and Marc Maron -together- would be a great team.

Why would anyone call Randi Rhodes a hero? She went AWOL after serving 2 years. And she was never voted "The most outstanding woman in the Air Force" Another one of her obnoxious lies.

By BILL99April 11, 2008 - 11:22am

Agreed . . . with qualifications

I don't get the vitriol spewed at Randi, but the recommendations for hosting her former spot are good.

By calandraApril 11, 2008 - 11:35am

Pick your reasons, please

No...stock is down on lower than expected earnings, and forecast earnings being downgraded. Result of consumer spending being down across the board, but especially in durable goods, which GE is heavily invested in.

To break it down to where you can perhaps understand it more easily, the country is now in such debt, and our dollar so diluted by this debt, that Americans can no longer afford to buy like they used to...and so companies that sell large ticket items, like appliances and such, are seeing sales drop.

It has to do with the overall consumer spending and confidence, not with what people think of GE sponsorships.

By goofballApril 11, 2008 - 1:44pm

That and "GE Investment" eats it with Bear Stearns

Throwing credit card debt on bailouts was like

down to some real adjustment reality.

Sammy

Just when you think you've distanced yourself from the failure of AAR management they find creative new ways to infuriate you again. The failure to recognize and reward the talent and hard work coming from Sam Seder is the last straw. If not Sammy on a daily basis, this household is finished with Air America. Wishing Sam all good things.

By scapinkaneApril 11, 2008 - 11:28am

Agreed, Sam Seder is the only choice that makes sense

He's the smartest and funniest host on AAR by far. A few others (Thom, Rachel, RFK Jr.) are intelligent and well-informed, but only Sam cuts through to the core of every issue and does it in a witty fashion too. In the absence of a daily Seder fix, there's little point to keeping the premium membership. I'm up for renewal in 2 weeks and if I don't get good news about Sammy I'm not going to bother.

By lasorichApril 13, 2008 - 3:17am

Sam Seder

Sam needs to be on the radio 5 days a week. AAR mgmt is living in the Dark Ages if they think celebrities will do the job. Ability does the job. And Seder's got more of it than many others on that network. Thom, Sam, Rachel is the perfect lineup. Get it right for once!

By slagApril 11, 2008 - 11:38am

Excellent 1, 2, 3 puch.

By storkyApril 12, 2008 - 7:31pm

Email I sent AAR today:

Hello, I am writing in support of putting Sam Seder on permanently in place of Randi, or mornings 6-9 in place of the Randi rerun. I, & his many other listeners have been waiting for a year now to get him back on a daily program. Now that AAR has TWO open slots he should certainly be put in one of them. We are not interested in listening to celebrities. We are not interested in reruns every morning 6-9. We just want your best host put back on the air, 5 days a week, where he belongs. Please listen to Al Franken, Bobby Kennedy Jr, David Bender, & many others who strongly feel that Sam should be back on 5 days. Yesterday he had over 46000 viewers watching his show live on his website. We are out here & we are many. We will support & follow Sam wherever he ends up.
Hopefully AAR will be smart enough to keep him there & give him a weekday program he has more than earned.
Thank you

(Everyone keep the pro-Sam emails & calls coming! Let them hear us loud & clear!)

By KARENSCALESApril 11, 2008 - 11:42am

Sam

Me too but do they ever pay attention to what we say? Been listening since the beginning on XM. I HATE ED SCHULZ THERE.

Keep sam in the Randi slot.

By cr8fApril 11, 2008 - 11:52am

46,000 viewers of the SammyCam?!?! Are you kidding me?

I love Sam, but I'm hard-pressed to believe he has 46,000 viewers of the SammyCam. I'd think it would collapse under that sort of pressure. Where ya getting those numbers from?

One-way streams do not create significant server loads

Like many non-interactive streams, the SammyCam creates very little load on the server. It could support many times the reported 46,000 viewers. It isn't YouTube where you can rewind, restart, etc.

By AmericanMaleApril 11, 2008 - 5:12pm

When they cancelled Sam's

When they cancelled Sam's daily show I phoned and emailed, and I certainly wasn't alone, I think all Sam's fan's tied up the phone lines for weeks, but you can see the effect it had...none. I've been a listener from The Majority Report days. That's why I started listening to AAR. But then a few months back it suddenly turned into Air Obama, so I only now listen when Sam is on.

I still can't believe that people think that, at an Obama supported event, and as a representative of AAR and AAR beging a sponsor of said event---that people think what Randi said was acceptable. Perhaps she did it on purpose so she could leave AAR with a bang---albeit of a dubious nature. I mean after all she said there were contract disuputes. Too bad she didn't find a more mature and professional way out of her contract.

By dicarrozApril 12, 2008 - 9:52pm

It wasn't an Obama supported event. Check your facts.

Green 960 has made that very clear.

By EmelleApril 13, 2008 - 5:35am

Sam Seder-yes, Lionel-no

I want Sam for the 9-12 time (lionel's spot), or for Randi's old time. Sam's the only one that is good enough. I won't renew subscrip until Sam is on 3 hr/da, Mon-Fri, period.

By starundomielApril 11, 2008 - 11:46am

Bring back Sam Seder in place of Lionel or Randi or both.

Maybe you should look at Jay Marvin for the early morning show, Sam for 9-12, and Stacy Taylor for the afternoon slot.

By gs4571April 11, 2008 - 11:48am

Whoa,

I forgot about our bipolar, manic-depressive (redundant, redundant) liberal radio host. He does in deed live up to the discription, however. Some days very sharp and witty. Others, quite embarrassing.

By storkyApril 12, 2008 - 7:35pm

Yet another genius move

Tantamount to a slap in the face of Sam Seder; but by all means, don't capitulate to your listener's wishes and don't appease one of your loyal employees; put someone that has no radio experience on the air.

Fucking brilliant!

Oh shit, am I now suspended?

By seagillanApril 11, 2008 - 11:59am

Bring Sam Seder back!

Sam Seder deserves a daily slot in the schedule!

By SkitzoApril 11, 2008 - 12:00pm

Sammy

I agree that Sam should be on the Air 5 days a week. Either in Randi's slot, or the morning slot that no one currently has.

By stephnadlerApril 11, 2008 - 12:04pm

Wake Up!

Why would you not give Sam a chance? The guy is great. Randi was smart and passionate, but I was often offended and embarrassed by her remarks. Sam is a class act. In additont to being smart, he is funny -- has just the right touch... Wake up and sign the guy for a full-time gig. If you don't want to put him on in the afternoon, I'd love to hear him every morning. Actually, he and Marc Marron would be an unstoppable team. Wake up!!!

By libby2April 11, 2008 - 12:21pm

FUBAR!!!

I have cancelled my premium membership to Air America Radio in protest for suspending Randi Rhodes and for not replacing SAM SEDER in her slot. I am FURIOUS!! Richard Belzer?! Are the suits at AAR for real?! So Sam is good enough to sub but not for a Monday-Friday time slot
[p.m. would be best so not to conflict with Randi on NOVA M]. A SamSeder/Marc Maron Show would be fabulous! I'm dreaming. Air America sucks. First Marc Maron, then Mike Malloy then Randi, now "dissing" SAM. I hope the network goes down in flames. Guess I'll be spending alot of time at NOVA M RADIO!! Hey everyone, AAR is a lost cause...lets focus on emailing NOVA M Radio to get a slot for SAM Seder!!!!

By mnob1122April 11, 2008 - 12:27pm

the Montreal Expos of broadcasting

Air America has become the Montreal Expos of broadcasting.
Can't keep the same line-up.
Management keeps squandering the talent they have.
Constantly beat up by the rest of the league.
Popularity waning, even in their own home town.
Ownership constantly changing until forced to change the name and start all over with a new identity.

I've been with AAR since before Day 1
(Randi on WJNO years before AAR took flight.) You've lost Maron, Reilly, Winstead, Garafolo, Franken, Malloy, Jim Earle, Kent Jones and now Randi
Sam & Rachel are the only one's left I enjoy. Hartmann doesn't run live on XM or WWRL, so he's out for me as well

I followed Malloy to NovaM and will follow suit with Randi. I believe most listeners and affiliates will as well. Losing the highest rated liberal voice is not a good business move.

I hope Rachel can stay on the air, but she'll survive if all is lost. Since you'd rather put "celebrity guest hosts" on air instead of a proven radio talent like Sam Seder, I weep for the future.

By scott561April 11, 2008 - 12:31pm

Dear AAR Management

Dear AAR Management,

Why do you hate America? Or at least that portion of America who used to consider themselves your faithful audience? What is left of your lineup? AAR is left with only 2 daily progressive broadcasts, Hartmann and Maddow, both of which I love but neither of which exhibits much passion.

I love The Belz, but not as much as I love Sam Seder. I reupped my subscription recently ONLY because you had Sam filling-in for Randi a few weeks back, and deluded myself into thinking that you were beginning to recognize Sam's talent and were moving towards giving him back a daily show. But alas...

My patience has been exhausted.

With fully diminished regard from a former Associate Member...

By ploogerApril 11, 2008 - 12:40pm

good bye

you idiots don't have the sense to give sam a regular site. i'l never listen again.

By dbanjoApril 11, 2008 - 12:40pm

OTOH, what do you expect

from a perrenial loser like mark green?

By dbanjoApril 11, 2008 - 12:42pm

regular slot not site

still my point stands. you couldn't find your ass with both hands if it had a bell on it. happy tailspin, morons.

By dbanjoApril 11, 2008 - 12:44pm

If you could put Sam on in Lionel's slot...

Please keep Tom Hartman and Rachel Maddow where they are and give Sam Seder a proper slot.

If you put Sam Seder on in Lionel's slot, I'd gladly listen in the morning. However, please don't put him in Randi's old slot as I'll be listening to Randi on Nova-M at that time.

By chrisreadyApril 11, 2008 - 12:47pm

Okay, boneheads, this icy splash is going to hurt a little

Sam is running things in the background around here almost everyday. Chief cook and repairman. Liason. Involved.
Thats the Sam I'm seeing here.

I seriously doubt he has more time to spare for more
than a Sunday Show.

Sam's mark is all over this site. A real asset.

Are you whiners so blind not to see that? I have no
association with AAR. I'm just a by-stander. But what
I have said about Sam here must be close to the mark.

Wake up and smell the opportunities. (splash)

We don't want Sam BEHIND the scenes, you bonehead! Maybe you should wake up and see how much his fans really want to hear him on air. Anyone can run a website. I run several myself. Nobody can be Sam Seder on the air, but Sam Seder.

Man, you are a thick one

Your numb skull bent my hammer! Wow!

Sam is doing just fine and must be the #1 force around here. But he only has two hands, and only a fool would give up admin control for mere announcer status.

All announcers should occasionally take heed to
alternate voices of contructive critique, rather than
bathe in the constant dreamworld of their surrounding
buttkissers. Call it the "croney cocoon complex".

Sam is free of this. Sam is probably cooler than you know.

yeah knowing sam's behind the scenes

will make me listen to this lame radio station. idiot -- he's a comedian. put him on the air!

Maybe Sam can find time to come over and do your dishes

And you'll double his income out of your own pocket?
If life were that easy, pumpkin.

A daily show for SAM SEDER

Are you listening to AAR on the Sammycam? Once again, Sam just said he "is trying to convince the powers-that-be to give him a daily show" !!!!! Pay attention, dewbie dubai. Sam doesn't PREFER to be behind the scenes!

You are not only a

You are not only a by-stander, you apparently did not see Sam's web cast of yesterday afternoon. He wants a daily show, believe me. He'd make the time.

"God Damn Air America"

Richard "fuckin" Belzer. How long do you think he is going to stay with your back stabbing ass? I'm disappointed that he chose to bail you out as it is.
It would be great if all of the Obamabots could put our C notes together and purchase a network for our own voice. We Obamabots generate 30 to 40 million dollars a month for our candidate. We could do the same for a national microphone.

AAR Podcast of Seder

Hey jkeaston, thanks so much for the info and link to green960 so I can continue downloading Sam Seder without having a membership to AAR!! I had a subscription to download Randi, Sam and Thom onto iTunes. AAR has already pulled Randi off the website and doesn't offer a way to download Sam doing Randi's show yesterday [April 10]. BASTARDS! I cancelled my AAR membership this morning. Yes, Sam is behind the scenes at AAR but no one can deny that AAR snubbed him once again for a daily show, which he has often said he would like to have back!!

Air America's Loss

Your treatment of Randi Rhodes could only be expected by a company whose advertisers include promotions to take advantage of home foreclosures and various republican style get rich quick schemes. Now that Randi is gone, I won't have to endure those trash commercials nearly as much.
