More info at: http://www.airamerica.com/node/6316

Rachel will be on from 6 PM-9 PM Eastern, instead her current 6 PM-8 PM Eastern time slot.

Incidentally, this will make it much easier for local affiliates (and Air America's XM channel) to also air Nova M Radio's Mike Malloy live, since there won't be a 1 hour gap between the two shows anymore.

5. This is good ....... but announcing that she is taking the chair that the Carlson boy .......

.... has been farting in these last few years would be MUCH better news.

I'll pay for a new chair for her.

6. Now that Kent Jones is gone, I don't stay tuned in as long.

MmmmmmmmMMMMMMONKEY!

7. Why did they get rid of Kent Jones? The two had been together from the beginning. nt

[Aristus]

9. During his last week on the air, he kept referring to it as a "business decision".

I guess Air America didn't want to offer up badly needed cash for his salary, however much that might have been.

Apparently, Air America is hard up enough for revenue that they're airing spots from an anti-abortion group. THAT really pissed me off!

[rusty quoin]

10. You reminded me of "Raw Story" advertising a conservative book club. What the hell?

[Aristus]

11. Tell me about it; the ad was for some anti-abortion group, and

the female narrator was running down Roe vs Wade and saying "Learn the truth about Roe vs Wade..."

Truth? :shrug: What truth? That the government does not have the right to make medical decisions for women?

Anyway, the bitch doing the voice-over managed to sound smug and fake-sad at the same time. I wanted to punch my stereo speakers...

12. today

I heard maybe 4 McCain spots on immigration here on KTLK Air America in CA.

I am glad that KTLK now has Rachel on live at 3. We used to have her delayed until 10.

18. Yeh, Kent Jones was the perfect foil for Rachel

Horrible decision to let him go.

[rusty quoin]

8. I think it's great, but it must mean less MSNBC appearances. nt

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

13. I guess people here have quit comparing her Chris matthews then?

for daring to criticize Hillary

I love Rachel. great news
so who's getting cut by an hour? I guess this means less of that 'clout' show?

[backscatter712]

14. Excellent!

Maybe that'll give AM760 the excuse required to ixnay Alan Colmes. Gods, Colmes is awful!

15. I wish she was on TV for 3 hours, instead of that pantload, Tucker

Put Her on for three hours before Keith..The others could take their little shows on the road.. "Hey Kids.. It's the Tweety & Tucker Show...step right up and get your balloon animals..don't stand too close to the blond one..he sprays"..

[clbuck]

16. kick

:kick:

17. Is the show live on the east coast now from 6-8pm?

I always found it hard to believe she'd be able to finish at 8pm and then do an occasional 8:10pm spot on Countdown. I figured the end of the radio show was taped.

Now an extra radio hour, plus the new position as MSNBC political analyst. One busy lady.

[drbtg1]

19. Hello?

I'd still like an answer.

[jasmine621]

20. Sorry, but she has lost a lot of credibility with me with her outrageous

bias as has Keith O.
