"Stick a fork in her, she’s DONE!
Liberal radio network Air America has gone bankrupt and will cease live programming, the company told employees today.
“The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business. This past year has seen a “perfect storm” in the media industry generally,” Charlie Kireker, chair of Air America Media, wrote in a letter to employees.
Air America was founded in 2004 as a liberal response to conservative dominance of the radio airwaves. In five years it has served as a platform for a number of liberal talkers that have moved on to prominence, including now-Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
The network will air re-run programs until January 25th, at which time all programming will end.

Yet MN elected a senator who aired his own station. Do I have say his name?
