Okay maybe you all can help me because GD didn't do such a good job... (Air America Radio)
Can someone please tell me the names of the CEO's of Air America Radio since its inception in 2004.

I have located Danny Goldberg and most recently Scott Elberg. Does anyone know who came before Goldberg?

Thanks. :hi:

1. the Drobny (sp) family started it

and now they run Nova M Radio (Mike Malloy's new home). I dont know much about the new owners, but they seem to be flushing it down the crapper pretty fast.

on edit: Sheldon and Anita Drobny

2. Yes, that's who conceived the network, but who was the CEO at its inception? It wasn't the Drobny's
Thanks!

7. Now he was the one who stepped down as chairman of the board
because of lying about funding, right? Was he also the Chief Executive Officer?

6. from Wiki
Air America was started by Progress Media, which stated it had secured US$30 million in venture capital prior to its debut. This claim was later found to untrue with the actual amount closer to US$6 million. Two individuals from Guam, Rex Sorensen and Evan Montvel Cohen, were involved in raising the capital.<5>

9. As a side note, I might like their new lineup that starts Monday
12M-3A This Is America with Jon Elliott
3A-6A (rebroadcast) The Randi Rhodes Show
6A-9A The Young Turks
9A-12N The Lionel Show
12N-3P The Thom Hartmann Program
3P-6P The Randi Rhodes Show
6P-8P The Rachel Maddow Show
8P-12M The Air Americans hosted by Mark Riley with David Bender, Laura Flanders. Robert Kennedy Jr., and Mike Papantonio


8-12P looks like a best of group of the rest of AAR
