Air America off in Austin KOKE 1600 AM (hasta la vista!)

If you can't even make it in Austin, Texas - the closest that fine state comes to an infection of "liberalism" - you can't make it anywhere. Except, of course, perhaps Portland.

As of Monday, Air America Radio is off the air in Austin due to an ownership change at KOKE 1600 AM. They've switched to Spanish-language programming. As libtalk their ratings were 0.9 and apparently their signal was so weak it couldn't even be heard four miles south of downtown.

Air America is looking for a good home, and their affiliate manager, Dave Kaufman wants you to send him tips at dkaufman *at* airamerica.com:

"If someone can point me to the direction of someone more amenable to picking up our format, I'll take all the help I can get."
