Air (Parts of, Sometimes) America

Seems the big, bad entry into the liberal radio market just can't catch a break:

Jacqui Rossinsky has become the latest top executive to resign from Air America Radio, the liberal talk radio network that lost its broadcast outlets in both Chicago and Los Angeles. Rossinsky was executive vice president of sales and marketing. "I no longer want my name associated with that company," she told Inside Radio.

Her departure closely follows those of Air America Radio's chairman, Evan Cohen, its vice chairman, Rex Sorensen, its chief executive officer, Mark Walsh, and its executive vice president of programming and operations, Dave Logan.

Inside Radio reports, Air America just signed a new radio affiliate -- in Anchorage, Alaska.
