(Chuck D will apparently be doing s Sunday nite show.)

1. Keep us updated.

I'm listening to another show right now.

[Armstead]

2. New show on Air America from 5 - 6 a.m. EST

News type show before Morning Sedition. Starting Apr. 11.

She said a lot of stations will be carrying it, and some at a different time.

[Danmel]

3. Even I'm not up THAT early- I get up at 6 am

eom

4. Wow, that's a demotion.

I liked her, and I'm sorry I won't be able to hear her now.

[K-W]

5. Im glad she's staying on,

and I'm glad AAR is filling out thier schedule.

[Must_B_Free]

10. Apple Itunes will have it, I guess

so we can listen at any time.

I like Rachel - I feel like she is a good voice for my generation (30 something)

6. I think it's great she's staying on AAR...

Apparently some affiliates will be replaying her new show later in the day (airs live at 5am!).

Lizz Winstead coming up by phone for Unfiltered's last day

7. I wonder if this has something to do with the new CEO

I don't know if it's just coincidence, but I read a thread about this this morning in LBN. (Sorry, I don't remember the guy's name)

[nutshell2002]

8. Talking now about drinking mimosas

Drinking when "your life's work is being upended by Jerry Springer"

Ouch!

[Armstead]

9. He hired Springer

[iconoclastNYC]

11. She tried her best...it didn't work out.

She's a little too wonkish for talk radio.

I really like the issues she brings up, I think she's smart as hell, and in general like her personality. I think that if they had paired her with a complimentary co-host (intead of Liz who was a immature distraction) and not had to deal with Chuck today, gone tommorow, maybe the show would have caught on.

I'd like to see her come onto some of the other shows the way they were bringing Mike Papantonio on to here show.

I really loved the dynamic her and Laura Flanders had on the late night election coverage.

As for Jerry...i'm goign to give him a shot. Haven't heard him yet. Will tommorow I guess ;)

[Armstead]

12. Lizz Winstead on

[funkybutt]

13. I'm really enjoying the show today

so much energy there

[funkybutt]

14. haha..making jokes about the terrible hypnosis commercials

"come and get me AAR!"
