: According to John Scott, PD of Clear Channel talk KKGN/San Francisco, talker Randi Rhodes and Air America network have parted company as of Wednesday (April 9).
: In a posting on the station Web site, Scott says that on Monday (April 14), "it will be our pleasure to announce the return of Randi Rhodes to the Green 960 family."
: Rhodes was suspended indefinitely last week by Air America following remarks she made at an appearance for KKGN where she called both Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro "f#cking b#tches."
: An official announcement is expected from Air America about Rhodes' departure on Thursday 4/10.
: Because WCPT runs Randi Rhodes via the Air America stream, that does mean Randi will no longer be heard in Chicago.
WCPT-AM (820), the Newsweb Radio progressive talker, is taking its time to replace Air America afternoon host Randi Rhodes. Filling in all next week will be Richard Belzer.
Rhodes resigned Thursday after her suspension for making crude remarks about Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro at a public appearance.
Interesting that it's being called a resignation.
