Air America Radio: CEO and Program Director Out

Post by theski »

The Associated Press is reporting a shakeup in Air America Radio's top management.
Mark Walsh, has stepped down as CEO of the new liberal Radio network and its Program Director, David Logan, has been put on "administrative leave".

According to the AP, Walsh said, "he gave up his CEO title earlier this month but will continue to pursue deals for Progress Media." Progress Media is the parent company of Air America Radio.

There was no further clarification as to why Logan was no longer actively programming the network.

In the interim, Air America Radio is being run by David Goodfriend who is the company's lawyer.

Goodfriend worked once as an advisor to the F.C.C. but reportedly has no other direct radio experience except for a one-time job as a DJ in Beloit, Wisconsin.

Sudden power is apt to be insolent, sudden liberty saucy; that behaves best which has grown gradually.

In what? How to turn their programming into dull, corporate-homoginised shit?
