Buy a Pixel, Hear a Point of View

My friend Bob Lord and Mike Newcomb report they are are working to preserve the presence of Air America Radio in Phoenix. KXXT, the former home of Air America Phoenix, was purchased by a Christian Broadcasting outfit, which pulled the Air America format effective March 1st. There is now a complete absence of liberal talk radio in the Phoenix area.

Bob and Mike have formed a group with the opportunity to lease or purchase another AM station, but must raise money quickly. To that end, they’ve established a website, www.saveairamericaphoenix.com, where people can buy pixels on the Air America site, the proceeds from which will be used to fund the new station. There's more details from Sheldon Drobny, co-founder of Air America, at Huffington Post.
