Air America press release (Schadenfreude alert)
It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business....
Please, fellow Rantburgers, I know it's hard at a time like this, but try to hold it together. Be a lady man, buck up, stiff upper lip and all that, don't cryyyy out loud/just keep it inside/and learn how to hide your feeeeelings....
Oh, hell with it. I can't hold back any longer.
Yeeaaaaahhhooooo! Cue the dancing girls! Break out the karaoke machine: "Cell-a-brate good times come on!"
... We are proud that Air America's mission lives on through the words and actions of so many former radio hosts who are active today in progressive causes and media nationwide. In the years ahead, as we look back, we should all be proud of our passionate determination to assure that our nation's progressive voice would be heard loud and clear. Through the hard work and dedication of current staff, and those who preceded you, a lasting legacy was forged which will now continue through other voices and venues.
Thank you.
...and STAY dead!
