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.
