Jonathan “Clutch” Larsen has the inside scoop on the impending death of Air America Radio’s Morning Sedition.
MS was one of the few bright spots on the radio each morning and I made it a point to take as long as humanly possible to get into wherever I was going to hear as much of Mark and Marc as I could.
I honestly don’t know what I’ll be listening to next month. I can’t stand Imus anymore. NPR is boring. Stern is on Sirius. And local NYC talk radio is all right wing moonbats.
First Danny Goldberg replaces the always entertaining Rachel Maddow with Jerry Springer – who sounds like my grandfather complaining about the Reagan administration. Now this. Nice way to go to build an audience for a new radio network.

While I have to state upfront I have been a critic of the AAR operation’s business model from Day One, I have to agree with you about the idiocy of breaking up Morning Sedition for a game plan that is almost pre-ordained to draw even crappier ratings for their morning drive time slot. As you noted in the post, morning radio in NYC is pretty bare, entertainment-wise. Until Kuby reaches across the table and throttles Sliwa, I can’t stomach more than small dosages of WABC. Even when Maron had launched himself to the moon on a lunatic tirade, the man always delivered entertainment.
Goldberg should have stuck to records.
