Not that I am upset....but what happened to Randi this time??
We were down in Mexico last week working in Tijuana...we come home and Nova M has changed names and Randi is gone again. I am not a great fan of hers, only because I think her head is too large to fit through most doors, but she is very smart and informed. I don't like her style, but she gets it right when she talks about the issues, so I am wondering; what did she do and is there any hope of her reappearing elsewhere?

Here is what it says on her website:

TO ALL:

NOVA M RADIO HAS NOT YET CORRECTED THE PROBLEM THAT HAS KEPT ME OFF THE AIR
DESPITE MY STRONG DESIRE AND READINESS TO BROADCAST MY SHOW. RESPECTING THE
EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP THAT HAS EXISTED BETWEEN NOVA M AND ME, AND
EXPECTING THE SOLUTION TO BE QUICKLY ACHIEVED, DETAILS OF THE TRIGGERING
EVENT WERE WITHHELD IN GOOD FAITH. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS MUCH: ANY
STATEMENT IMPLICATING ME AS BEING IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISRUPTION
IN THE RANDI RHODES SHOW IS PATENTLY FALSE. THIS ENTIRE SITUATION IS
SOLELY WITHIN THE CONTROL OF NOVA M.

IN LIGHT OF MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS, MY SHOW WILL BE SEEKING A NEW HOME.
I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR CONTINUED PATIENCE AND INDULGENCE IN RESPECTING MY
RIGHTS DURING THIS TIME. YOUR UNWAVERING SUPPORT IS CHERISHED. THANK YOU.


RANDI RHODES

1. Nova M went bankrupt
 Randi didn't do anything wrong. Her contract was in breach and terminated.
Other than sucking and having an audience that wouldn't crowd a phone booth?

3. oh...
 I should have known, progressive talk cannot get support no matter what...guess the ship of state will have to go under the waves before sponsors will wake up, but by then it will be too late. Thanks.

6. Blame it on the Bush Depression.

Looks like Nova-M ran out of money, and couldn't pay their bills. Apparently, they couldn't make payroll, so a bunch of staff lost their jobs, and they couldn't pay their liability insurance, especially libel insurance that Randi needs so she can broadcast without every little asshole with a law degree trying to sue her into oblivion.

Who's fault is it? Not Randi's. Not Nova-M's. It's a rough economy, everyone's struggling to pay the bills, and Nova-M just didn't make it. And who would expect Randi to work for free, especially if by working for free, she also became vulnerable to lawsuits?
Can you say "Divorced From Reality" boys and girls?  I though you could!

Maybe it's because Liberal radio is lose-lose for radio stations and advertisers.

The fact that Randi Rhodes tends to play loose with her facts and is a bitch probably didn't help either.

That is hilarious! 

"I didn't listen to her because she sucked but I know she must have been good because she was on the radio once .... why is she gone?!"

I just tried to go to her message board site and it is GONE AGAIN!!  Too funny.

Frank, good thing they didn't let you in ...... you would have lost another user account.

Randall William "Randy" Rhoads (December 6, 1956 – March 19, 1982) was an American heavy metal guitarist who played with Ozzy Osbourne and Quiet Riot. Despite his short career, he is cited as an influence by many contemporary heavy metal guitarists. A devoted student of classical guitar, Rhoads often combined his classical music influences with his own heavy metal style. While on tour with Ozzy Osbourne, he would often seek out classical guitar tutors for lessons.

WHy hasn't NPR hired Rhodes?

Is there some public drunkenness code they have?

No wonder they like her.  Just like them, nothing's ever her fault.

What a pickle for their pointed little heads.  They can't keep Rush off the radio and they can't keep that Roads woman on the radio.  Yep, it must be "the Bush economy".

I don't know . . . If you use a .22-inch 40-grain lead "pill" at about 1200 fps or so, I think that it can be cured.  The patient doesn't survive the treatments, but, hey--you can't have everything! :tongue: :evillaugh:
