Democracy Radio unilaterally shut down

As previously discussed, the head of Democracy Radio, Mr. Debbie Stabenow aka Tom Athans, has joined Air America as their head of distribution. (Of course, that might just be cover for his real job: raising money).

As the first link discloses, Athans is shuttering DR.

Apparently they had just two major shows: Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller. Schultz - who's a progressive, I swear - sold his soul to the man who brought us Rush Limbaugh, so he appears to be no longer in DR's fine stable of fine hosts.

Of course, this move may or may not affect a certain also-ran:

The Stephanie Miller Show was launched in September 2004. It is produced by Democracy Radio, the Pioneer of Progressive Talk, and WYD Media Management. Jones Radio Networks distributes the show.
