#1 How is anyone supposed to take these people seriously when they lace their commentary with fourth grade name calling? This plane can't crash & burn fast enough, freakin' mental midgets.

#3 "MultiCultural Radio Broadcastingâs conduct in this matter has been disgraceful. To shut off a broadcast that listeners rely on without warning and in the middle of discussions is the height of irresponsibility and a slap in the face of the media industry

business is business--pay up or shut up!
slap on the face of the media industry..now that is funny.

#5 Can you smell the arrogance-"...a broadcast that listeners rely on..."?Whatever did those poor listeners do until that long ago day when AAR first started broadcasting?

Don't know who is right/wrong between AAR and MCRB,but a couple of things stand out.1)AAR doesn't look like it did its homework on who they were dealing with.2)AAR looks to have signed up w/most cash-strapped stations they could find-ie,cheapest.3)Instead of starting small w/1 medium station,maturing and then expanding,AAR went w/"throw it on the wall and we'll see what sticks" approach.4)AAR will have at least a year before it faces real financial pressure.Don't forget election this year,and a ton of political ads will be bought,enough money to keep going.Maybe Demo party won't buy ads,but you can bet the MoveOn-type org.'s will.

#7 Hey Mucky, is "hiaku" some sort of illiterate, non-sensical version of "haiku?"

Silly Muck 4 doo

#8 Lets be realistic, they have the business model of an infomercial and they are being treated like one.

#9 Lesee... two of AAR's biggest markets in which in they'll probably be back on the air... major media coverage... most of blogdom talking about it... If'n I wasn't medicated :), I'd say it was all a publicity stunt.
