| - Air America Radio (commonly abbreviated to "AAR") was an American radio network specializing in talk programming. The network started programming on March 31, 2004 and was disbanded on January 24, 2010 featured discussion and information programs with hosts reflecting liberal and progressive points of view. The network specializes in presentations and monologues by on-air personalities, guest interviews, calls by listeners, and news reports. The company is owned primarily by Green Family Media, made up of New York real estate investor Stephen L. Green and his brother Mark J. Green, who closed on the purchase of the network on March 6, 2007 for US$4.25 million. The Greens' purchase of Air America Radio followed the company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on October 13, 2006. The company eventually changed its name from Air America Radio to Air America Media and lastly to just Air America, an effort to establish itself as a broadcaster on multiple media sources including television and the internet, and one not merely relegated to radio. Always primarily a radio network, on January 21, 2010, Air America ceased live programming citing a difficulty with the current economic environment, and announced that it would file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and liquidate itself. On January 21, 2010, Air America announced that it would immediately cease programming, and the company would file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy; citing some of the following reasons on their website: The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business. This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection. From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times.

- Air America Radio is an abomination of nature: a liberal talk radio network. Fortunately, Papa Bear has been predicting the downfall of these Blame America Firsters for a long time, which means that it will be going out of business any second now. On Friday, October 13, 2006, Air America Radio filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection despite denying just one month earlier that the network was on the verge of bankruptcy. The network now says it expects to stay on-the-air while it resolves issues with creditors. [1] In refusing to die once and for all, they are taking valuable bailout funds away from the poor, abused multinational corporations that so desperately need them. For shame! We are on a roll, Nation! It's now up to you to continue doing your heroic part in giving Air America Radio its much deserved smack-down, by continuing to not listen to its communistic rants.
