Randi Rhodes is NOT on WCPT

Randi Rhodes and Air America
Chicago (April 10, 2008) — As many of you know, Randi Rhodes has chosen to terminate her relationship with Air America.

While WCPT is a network affiliate of Air America, we were not involved in their decision to suspend Randi, nor were we a part of the discussions which led to Randi terminating her relationship with Air America. However, WCPT is very much involved in putting out the best Progressive Talk station for Chicago and as such, we are in the process of deciding on a new line-up for the station. As the situation with Randi has developed over the past few weeks, we have received passionate feedback from our listeners both in support of Randi as well as in support of Air America’s moves. It is this passion which drives the station and without it, we would not be able to succeed.

For now, we ask you to please bear with us as we take the time to determine the very best lineup. We acknowledge that whichever path we choose to take, some segment of our audience may not agree with us right off the bat, but rest assured whatever we do will stay true to our ideals of offering the very best Progressive Talk programming. Progressive talk radio has come a long way since it first launched a few years ago and we’re in a fortunate position that our options have greatly expanded in such a short time.

We certainly regret that this situation happened, but now that it has, we are going to do our best to take this opportunity to build an even better WCPT. We appreciate the feedback that we have received and are fortunate to have listeners who are so engaged in “their” station.

Dont blame her.

2. please know what you are talking about

AAR's new owners wanted to change her contract. Her quiting had nothing to do with those comments.

6. I used to listen to Randi and Mike. Now they are gone

so am I. It's just too pro-Obama and war. Thom Hartmann with his RWer debates are not entertaining but boring. Like I haven't heard it all before. Bring back Thom.

7. huh? n/t

8. Air America stinks now.

Randi Rhodes left for Nova. Mike left sooner and is in Nova.

Thom Hartmann is left on AA but has RWers on taking their propaganda. I want to hear Thom not RWers. Like we don't know their arguement and agenda.

9. ah...i get it now. n/t
