The co-founders of Air America Radio have formed Nova M Radio, a Phoenix-based progressive talk radio network. Show hosts will include Mike Malloy and pollster John Zogby; former Howard Dean aide Joe Trippi will consult.


AP:

The co-founders of Air America Radio have formed a new liberal talk radio network that promises to promote freedom and social justice.

That’s according to the new company’s CEO, Mike Newcomb, who says Nova M Radio, a Phoenix-based network formed by Air America co-founders Anita and Sheldon Drobny, will make its first broadcast on Oct. 30th.

Shortly before Air America filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, Newcomb said he and the Drobnys made a proposal to take a controlling interest in Air America, but the offer was declined two weeks before the company’s reorganization petition was filed.

I understand children will be collecting for UNICEF this year or at least the push is on. NOVA M RADIO might find some way of stealing this source of funing and carry on a beloved tradition at the same time.

Glad Malloy is back, but can they cut back on all the commercials?

success depends on each show, each personality—one may not like what conservative radio hosts say, but they enthrall enough folks to pay their own way, if only because it’s profitable to appeal to human nastiness & fear

air america’s shows & personalities are boring when they aren’t downright smug—it’s like going to compulsory chapel at school: one would rather be anywhere else

stephanie miller does a great job of tearing apart conservative talking points by using wit & fast-paced argument, but she’s not part of air america

Will novamradio be heard in the New York City area?
We could use an alternative to airamerica.

FOUND THIS PAGE BY CHANCE WHEN CHECKING OUT “TRUTH DIG.COM.”
HOPE WE WILL EVENTUALLY GET THIS NEW NETWORK IN SACRAMENTO SINCE MIKE MALLOY WAS OUR FAVORITE SHOW ON AIR AMERICA.
