Air Atlanta grounded?
People keep asking me what’s going to happen to Air Loaf, as well as Air America in Atlanta, once the sale of 1690 WWAA goes through. The answer is I don’t know yet, because I haven’t gotten a chance to call the new owner.
A few weeks ago, we (CL) ran an article on the pending sale. I purposely steered clear of that article because, as a host on the station, I have a conflict of interest (I’m the editor of Creative Loafing, too). But Alyssa Abkowitz’s story was consistent with what I know about the deal.
The surprising thing to me is that we didn’t get a huge amount of response to that story. I constantly run into people who listen to Air Atlanta. Is there much interest out there in keeping Air America going here in Atlanta? If so, what could be done about it?
