Premiere Networks on Wednesday announced it is dropping Randi Rhodes' radio show

"Premiere Networks will no longer produce and distribute The Randi Rhodes Show after Tuesday, December 31, 2013," Premiere's public relations director Rachel Nelson told POLITICO in an email.
...
While Wednesday's confirmation from Premiere is the first official news about the end of Rhodes' contract, the liberal talker had alluded to listeners in October that "my ability to talk to you is going away."

"The only way you'll be able to find me in a little while is if you have my personal phone number," she said on her Oct. 18 show.

There's other places she could land. Progressive Voices for one. But she won't be missed by many, including me. She's not as good, and not as smart as she thinks she is. And she damn sure ain't the smartest person in the room.

I think she's entertaining. And even she tells you, don't believe everything she says, go do your own research.

To pick her up before Air America when she was good. Then she was picked by AA and she went to hell. She was curt and often rude to anyone that disagreed with her. She had an ego bigger than Dallas. I got fed up with her then.

She is a voice for Progressives.And we need her on the air.I would like to see SIRIUSXM PROGRESS pick her up.Even if it's just for the weekends especially the shit that's on that station Saturday and Sunday is all Obama hate for three hours with Dave Marsh.They also have PROGRESS PLUS that mostly airs repeated shows.
