Unpaid Leave

Not feeling well today, but Air America staffers are feeling even worse:

In yet another sign of trouble for Air America Radio, the liberal talk network entering its fifth chaotic week on the air, co-founder and chairman Evan Cohen resigned Thursday, as did vice-chairman and investor Rex Sorensen.

The CHICAGO TRIBUNE is planning to report in fresh editions: The company also failed to make its scheduled payroll, leaving its staff roughly 100 radio personalities, writers, and producers unpaid until Thursday.

If you’ll recall, last month Air America issued a not-quite denial that they’d bounced checks to affiliates in Chicago and L.A. If staff is going unpaid, that’s a story they’ll have a harder time not quite denying.
