2. From what Marc was saying this morning, the e-mails and calls
are having an effect, so keep it up. He sounded VERY optimistic on today's show. He didn't give us any details, but he said things were looking much better.

14. Contract being negotiated.
Mark might just be angling for a couple of more bucks.

CHANGE AT AIR AMERICA: Tom Athans, husband of U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and founder of the progressive talk company Democracy Radio, has joined Air America as executive vice president in charge of its new syndication division.

At Democracy Radio, Athans developed and produced the Ed Schultz show, the most successful progressive talk program. This led to some speculation yesterday that Schultz could come to Air America.

There also could be an on-air change at Air America, heard on WLIB (1190 AM).

Mark Maron, co-host of "Morning Sedition" since the network signed on in early 2004, said yesterday on the air that his contract had not been renewed - though a spokeswoman for Air America said the network is "very appreciative of 'Morning Sedition'" and is "still in negotiations" with Maron.

19. It's not about money.
Marc said on the show yesterday that he never even got the chance to talk about money. They simply informed him that his contract was not being renewed, and that he would no longer be the host as of December 1. He said he would be willing to talk about doing the show for less, if they'd ever brought it up.

18. Sign the petition, but don't stop there!
Love Morning Sedition, but feel unfulfilled after just signing an online petition? Increase your positive karma by doing even more.

  • Have you... e-mailed Marc's boss and Air America Radio CEO Danny Goldberg at dannyg@airamericaradio.com ?

  • Have you... phoned the voicemail of Danny Goldberg's personal assistant at (212)-871-8135 ?

  • Have you... mailed a real postcard or letter via the USPS to:

    Danny Goldberg
    Air America Radio
    641 Sixth Avenue
    4th Floor
    New York, NY 10011

Petitions and e-mails are a good start, but it makes a real impact if you take the time to call or send snail mail. It's fun, and you'll feel better if you do.

(Updates and further plans at AirAmericaPlace's Morning Sedition forum and http://SaveMorningSedition.com !)

20. best use of the most important time slot
The morning commute time slot is very important. Like most places AAR is the only left radio station that we have in Dallas.

I actually enjoy Morning Sedition. I am not convinced that it is the best use of a very valuable time slot. It has a Wayne's World quality and will only ever attract a limited audience.

A more serious morning news program might attract a larger audience. I would like to see AAR acquire a news program foundation for its editorial programs. Something like Pacifica or a hard left, edgy and uncompromising version of Morning edition might work.

25. And/Or send e-mails and letters
Maron mentioned that one of the factors that was making AAR reconsider were the number of e-mails they were receiving.

Soooo....
you can e-mail AAR boss Danny Goldberg at dannyg@airamericaradio.com

Or phone the voicemail of Danny Goldberg's personal assistant at (212)-871-8135

I'm listening to the podcast but I was sure he said Morning Sedition lives on as is. I signed, mailed and did the email yesterday just in case.
