Hartman is on AAR now. Is this temporary? Someone said Laura Flanders

[davidwparker]

will take Mike's spot.

1. The slot will be guest-hosted

for the next week. Then Laura steps in to listen to the "sounds of silence." Pity. I really had nothing against her, but listening to her is tacit support for the boneheaded, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, dirt-stupid, sprayed-roach-crazy decision the suits at AAR made when they purged Mike.

3. May I quote you on that???

[GrpCaptMandrake]

4. You may quote anything you like

I guess the ultimate test is a week from tonight, when AAR replaces the best voice they had going with something less, I mean "else."

2. This is a "best of"

Thom's local and syndicated shows today were the same.

David Sirota was one of the guests.

So was David Horowitz. His second appearance.

5. Jon Elliott will be taking Mike's slot...

unless there's something wrong with their website:

6. Jon was announced last week as a temporary

for the coming week. Has that become permanent? I hope not.

[RSchewe]

7. From what I read it is Jon Elliot temp for 2 weeks then Laura Flanders...

from there on out.

9. I feel bad for any talker

who is put into this Hobson's Choice.

On the one hand, you see an opportunity to advance your career. On the other, you have to do it by participating in a righteous screw-job.

As Mike himself has frequently noted, radio is a great job, but a truly shitty business.

8. As a premium subscriber, I resent this surprise and mystery....

First off, I MAY not have subscribed to AAR premium THREE DAMN WEEKS ago had I'd known what was going to happen with Mike.

For DAMN SURE, I will NOT renew my subscription until the time when they firm up the schedule in September(s)...

But seriously, I HOPE that AAR knows what their new schedule is going to be. I mean, really, are there slots still in "negotition" before firing Mike Malloy?

As a webmaster, I resent this on a different level, because I know they could update their website INSTANTLY but are keeping things a "state secret"...
