Air America Serves I.O.U.’s to Maddow, Reagan
Patrick McGeehan’s blog post in the New York Times is reporting that failed liberal talk network Air America, owes some of it’s former talent a few paychecks. According to the company’s Chapter 7 filing today in Manhattan bankruptcy court, unsecured debts exceeded its net worth by more than $15 million at the end and some of the networks’ syndicated radio talkers had not been paid for the last few airshifts. Rachel Maddow is due a last payment of $3,952 and Ron Reagan’s company was owed $6,351. The article also mentions a curious $1,050 owed to the New York Fire Department which I’ll submit had something to do with a bed bug infestation at the networks studios late last year.
