Is This The End of Air America on WWRL?

Now that Lionel is gone and Randi Rhodes got suspended for the use of language, is this going to be the end of Air America? Yes it is! WWRL is going to play a bunch of infomercials, this sucks! Why not go back to the music and play some "100% Pure Soul" like the O'Jays, the Tempataions, Marvin Gaye, Gene Chandler and the rest on WWRL and forget Air America, it's over! Go back to play R&B like when it was back in the mid to late 1990's when it was on WWRL.
 
Because infomercials (unfortunately) will make more money for WWRL than a music format on an AM station with a poor signal.
 
Disney Fanatic,

For WWRL to go back to Classic Soul like you said in your post, the station would have to do several things.

The station would have to increase its signal to 50,000 watts without interferring with neighboring stations like WQEW.

WWRL needs to broadcast in HD. The sound quality on AM is on par with FM. There is also less static.

And the station needs a strong sales and promotional staff to push the station. No one will know you're out unless you advertise.



Thanks,

Hasnt everyone agreed that HD on AM DOESNT help quality of the sound. AND HURTS the range with the IBOC STATIC.
 
No great loss on Lionel, I found/find him SERIOUSLY obnoxious. I am bummed over Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz is a loudmouth and not a suitable replacement.
 
Ed schultz is great along with Stephanie Miller. Those two put them in any market and they will hold there own!!!
And F.Y.I. neither of them are owned by air america. They are courtesy of the jones radio network.
 
If Randi gets axed, it would at least be conceivable for 1600 to add Miller and air the show on delay tape at 3 PM, while at the same time keep the infos at 9 AM (when she is live).
