In this link, "mooph" raises the timing of the technical problems with Randi's show.

"Maddie" in that thread makes good points, too.

1. She hasn't received a paycheck in some time, and she wanted to pay the rent

That's how I see it

NYC is not a cheap city to live

It's even more expensive if you have no cash

I don't blame her a bit

[arthritisR_US]

2. she doesn't live in NY she lives in Florida. n/t

[davidwparker]

3. didn't she move back to Florida? To her old radio station? I don't think NYC

is involved.

4. Yes she did.

When she left AAR, she moved back to Florida.

7. Well in either case she needs to make money

Imagine doing your job - but without a paycheck

[Taverner]

5. OK - well then she has to pay her morgtage

Either case, having no paycheck, yet having to still work sucks

[Hello_Kitty]

6. Still. Ya gotta have money to live in FL too.

I remember her talking about how she was struggling financially recently, which I thought was odd because I'd heard her contract paid pretty well. Now it makes sense.

9. More recent...

The drama continues...

There are many reports circulating today claiming many different things in regard to the status of Randi Rhodes and her (now former) employer, Nova M Radio. For those of you keeping score at home, here's where it all stands:

1. Randi Rhodes and Nova M Radio are apparently through with each other. As mentioned in an update to a previous entry, she has issued a vague statement claiming that the problems that have kept Rhodes' show off the air are not of her doing.

2. If and when she comes back, will anyone still want her? One programmer that's sick and tired of all the finger-pointing and back-and-forth legal letters was at one time one of her biggest supporters, John Scott of Green 960 in San Francisco. In a blog post, he says that he will offer the station's highest-rated host, Stephanie Miller, in a replay during the 4-7P PT timeslot, observing that his listeners want to be entertained rather than listen to what he calls "Debbie Downers":

...

3. Rumors are swirling right now that Nova M has folded. Proving that he's in a world of his own, the Tranquilizer is claiming that Rhodes' lawyer sent him a letter claiming that Nova M didn't make payroll and is about to fold, that Mike Malloy's show has been cancelled and that the network's co-founder, Sheldon Drobny, is in the hospital after an apparent 'suicide attempt.' Suicide??? Basically, Brian Maloney has topped himself on the crass-o-meter.

Is that so wrong?
