Saving Sam, yes we can
Can Air America continue to let some of its best hosts go, without going under itself? If you want an airwave counter to Little Lord Ditto, it’s up to you to spare Air America that fate, by convincing them to re-sign obvious talents like Sam Seder.
If they burn off enough talent and go under, where will you go for Jon Elliott, Thoma Hartman, Robert Kennedy and others? Plese, click on the link and read more reasons to save Sam from this end, and save Air America from itself.

kleep sam .... in ANY daily timeslot ..and i'll listen!
I have written these same comments too many times. I have had an AAR account since week 2 of its inception, and have watched AAR management summarily cancel almost every one of my "must listen" programs, one by one, and I now know enough to realize that when April-May rolls around, so will the "heads" of the very best hosts on AAR. Unfiltered ...Morning Sedition, the Mark Maron Show... Mike Malloy... Sam Seder (3 times). When you fired Kent Jones, I cancelled my premium membership.
Did you notice I didn't mention Randi? If you want some competition, put Sam in her old 3-6 slot. If you want better radio, get rid of Lionel and put Sam on in the 9-noon slot. If you want to continue to drive this network into the ground? Just keep doing what AAR "management" (i use the term loosely) has been doing all along.
What have I learned after 4 years? AAR does not care about loyal listeners. You learned nothing from the Jerry Springer fiasco, I guess.
So, while I realize that you couldn't care less about what any of us think, I'll just close by saying you're making a HUGE MISTAKE -- again -- and ask that you please give Sam a daily timeslot. I'm down to one hour AAR now --the segment of Rachel's show that Rachel actually does. Other than that, I'm on NovaM. Wake up.
