Really - Really Air America

Sam doesn't have a freakin clue of what he will be doing tomorrow. Really?

OMG - I hope they are just waiting to annouce he will replace the 3-6 slots. However, if that is not the case, then I got one thing to say..................................

MARK MY WORDS: I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO SLAM - EMAIL AND SPREAD THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW AAR IS NOW DEAD.

My husband finally doesn't ask what I am doing @ 4-7 on Sundays - He just says:

It's Sammy Cam time!

I

Keep him on the air! Five days a week!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't look back, AAR does not deserve you.

Thanks for all your hard work.

** If you lie down with BlueDogs you wake up with Red fleas. **

We love ya Sam !

And,Many of us will follow you to your next radio gig !

Where ever that may be..

We miss you already !

Thank you for everything,Sam !

Good Luck ! :)

Now what will I do on Sunday afternoon? Will miss you until you are back on the air, which I hope will be very soon. You are the reason I found the netroots, which has added an hour of reading to my day, but at least I'm no longer dependent on print media. Thanks for hours of great interviews, great humor and great insights.

I want more Sam, not less! After shifting my podcasting to include NovaM I'm really frustrated that my other favorite, Sammy... is now being taken off of Sundays too!!! I've just gotten use to missing him through the week, waiting for his weekend synopsis which I always find interesting and funny... now this is ending too???

AAR... I know you guys are trying to appeal to a wider audience... but you are rapidly loosing your most loyal listeners... I don't bother with lionel any more, have found the afternoon randi replacements mildly interesting, but really enjoyed the week of Maron and Sam... I am typing this as I listen to what is billed as the last Sunday show... I really hope not...

I've always encouraged folks to check you guys out, gotten numerous people to tune into Green 960 and can't understand why your best hosts are getting so little time. I love both Sam and Maron, would love to see them alternate/co-host...

Even the late evening slot or early morning slot (Bill Press is a real bore!!!) would greatly benifit from these great hosts... FIND A PLACE FOR THEM, PLEASE... loosing market share as you have by loosing Randi... is something someone would allow to happen only if they were trying to destroy Air America... is this what's going on?

I will definately reasses whether to continue as a long term premium member based on what happens with Sam and Maron... The late night/early morning slots would be great, as they are poorly served right now... unfortunately you've already lost the stations carrying you during the afternoon slot... so sad... unless you're trying to drown the baby...

I'm listening to Sam and Marc Maron chat right now... I love them... they are so great... Please WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sam,

Sorry to hear about this, though I thought it a possibility once Randi got mistreated openly and publicly. Your AAR work has been resplendent and inspired (though I am sorry things didn't work out with Janeane). You have definitely put in the work and paid your dues.

You are an up and coming talent -- don't let the AAR debacle convince you of anything differently. Admittedly, I followed your Majority Report days a lot more closely but I tuned in on Sunday when I could and always enjoyed your filling in for Randi and others. But you are picking up the skills for the future. I look forward to you finding a nice situation where you are allowed to thrive -- and I'll be there. Don't be a stranger! :^)

I know you probably didn't like the character, but loved the movie NEXT STOP WONDERLAND and I always think of you fondly being one of those goofy guys (spoken by an ex-goofy guy!) who repeated:

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your the best at Air America. I know you'll get the 3-6 slot. I will follow no mater where you go.

I tune in from S.Korea... AAR is a lifeline...ESPECIALLY Sam Seder.

This is the last show? . . . Moving to a weekday show? What's up?

Who keeps making these horribly misguided decisions?

I can't believe this. And I don't understand it. Please, whoever are the powers that be at AAR these days, I don't know why this show is ending, but please give Sam the weekday afternoon slot. I still can't get used to not hearing him during the week, and my local so-called Air America station (NYC) barely carries any of your programming as it is - I get Ed Schultz when I should be able to hear Thom Hartmann, and Alan Colmes at night.

Three hours a day of Sam would be a godsend. People are depending on you.

The guy on late at night - is ok -

I stopped listening to Thom - He has wing nuts on then does not repuke them like he should..... bbbbut bbbut.

If you are going to try and present your side - have a freakin argument.

Sam see you next Tuesday - vis-a-vis Maron & Sammy

Randi has gone? She wasn't my favorite, but now Sam's leaving? Rachel and Ed were always my favs. I signed up with XM Radio to get Air America. What's going on? I guess I've been listening to the wrong people and haven't heard about any changes. Help.

Is Ed Schultz gone too? He's not listed on their show list. Looks like I won't be renewing with XM radio.

Are you stepping away from running this site/board?

I'd much rather hear you on the radio again than sticking around here to run the place.

Just curious if you were cutting out of here soon.

Thanks for the hard work.

Can I say how stupid this is? Bring back Sammy! What the hell is wrong with Air America - the place is falling apart!

But now, YOU NEED TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!! We Need THE ORIGINAL SPIRIT OF AAR to get us through the upcoming WAR-ELECTION! During its existence, AAR has been a true political and emotional lifeline for us downtrodden LEEBERALS. And the added treat of my being able to call in and actually TALK with most of the hosts and share my story/points of view--talk about a healing experience from the abusive Gingrich-Bush abuse of the 90's and early 2000's! But sadly, AAR is dying. In the beginning--those amazing first months: Al Franken--the GODFATHER of AAR--unequaled, but his political- ironic-comedy genius has almost been met by the intelligence, humor, dedication and exuberance of SAM!! Of course, his leaving was voluntary, but it created the SECOND huge void in our AAR world. Does anyone remember that first AAR murder?? I'd get a great start early every morning by listening to Rachel and LIZ Winstead--remember her? were SO GREAT together-- Informative AND funny! AND they were the first to call out the despicable Lou Dobbs about his racist daily diatribes. But suddenly, we began to hear--damn--name??--the stupid-people talk-show, dancing-with-stars-guy??? as Liz was cut! And Rachel did go on, supremely informatively--I love her-- but not as entertainingly. That was o.k. for news geeks like me, and she did have Kent on to enhance the laughs, until he was killed off too. Next was Mike Malloy--yeah, he did rant and rave, but as I recall ONLY about the devils in the White House and world, and yes, he was not very P.C.--but informative?--Yeah!! Then HE was gone, and replaced, again, by informative, yet kinda dull fill-ins, and finally John, who, is yes--informative, and kind. THEN the RANDI fiasco. In the beginning, Randi was amazing--I forced myself to overlook her surliness and rudeness to so many callers because I learned so much from her. HER last few months, however, made it easier for me to actually feel RELIEF when she "left" than sadness. I think this must be what abused spouses must feel if their abusers suddenly die in a car accident. So I am liberated, but whole again. The the YOUNG TURKS! I warmed up slowly to them, perhaps gun-shy from previous emotional attachments, but I would get up every morning eager to listen and verbally spar with Cenk periodically. First Ben disappeared, and then Cenk--poof!!! And we're left with NO AAR CURRENT NEWS in the a.m.; just re-runs of the well-meaning, but just-not-quite-right "subs." Thank God my local radio station has the good judgment to have STEPHANIE MILLER on instead of the condescending AAR choice--I don't learn a lot before I get to work, but I DO get a laughing start to my day!. THEN,finally, I do get my info for the day--Thom is very good; and if people would actually listen, he DOES usually give the right-wing-nuts a good challenge, but, it's probably just a matter of time before he too, disappears into the black hole that is AAR. There are TWO people who can save AAR--PHIL DONAHUE, and, of course....SAM SEDER!!! (and if you could throw in a Stewart-Colbert two-hour slot somewhere, you'd go on forever!!!) You're DYING!! Please get your act together, AAR!!

I have been a premium member almost from the begining. With the lost of Al Franken, The Young Turks, and now Sam, I cannot see why I would continue with being a member. Thom Hartmann won't be enough to keep me. As a member of The Young Turks, I will just give the money that I would pay to Air America to them. I even purchase items that were advertised on Air America cause I really wanted for it to succeed. Now with Sam leaving, what is the point? As a consumer, I will just have to take my money else where.

I really do love when Sam guess host with Cenk. Hopefully, Sam will find time to do it again.

For the love of God, Air America needs to get Lionel off. I can't stand him. I live outside Atlanta and when I listen to him I think that I am listing Neil Boortz only he isn't as good as Neil.

To Air America,

Good Bye

No me.

I for one am sick of AAR getting rid of all the talented hosts which I enjoy. Marc Maron, The Young Turks, Mike Malloy, and now Sam (again). If Sam is truly no longer being given any airtime at all, then the only show left which I enjoy is Rachel's. I love Rachel's show, but I just do not see any reason to continue paying to be a member for only her show. Especially when she is probably going to get her own TV slot. I wish AAR the best, but cannot continue to support them with my dollars if they get rid of Sam. Period.

And I suppose Jane Wyman is the first caller.

Try again future boy.
