Randi Rhodes

There has been a fill-in host subbing for Randi Rhodes for the past couple of weeks, and this message is on her show's website:

TO ALL:

NOVA M RADIO HAS NOT YET CORRECTED THE PROBLEM THAT HAS KEPT ME OFF THE AIR DESPITE MY STRONG DESIRE AND READINESS TO BROADCAST MY SHOW. RESPECTING THE EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP THAT HAS EXISTED BETWEEN NOVA M AND ME, AND EXPECTING THE SOLUTION TO BE QUICKLY ACHIEVED, DETAILS OF THE TRIGGERING EVENT WERE WITHHELD IN GOOD FAITH. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS MUCH: ANY STATEMENT IMPLICATING ME AS BEING IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISRUPTION IN THE RANDI RHODES SHOW IS PATENTLY FALSE. THIS ENTIRE SITUATION IS SOLELY WITHIN THE CONTROL OF NOVA M.

IN LIGHT OF MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS, MY SHOW WILL BE SEEKING A NEW HOME. I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR CONTINUED PATIENCE AND INDULGENCE IN RESPECTING MY RIGHTS DURING THIS TIME. YOUR UNWAVERING SUPPORT IS CHERISHED. THANK YOU.

RANDI RHODES
Anybody have any idea what's going on?

Why can't liberal talk radio get its act together?

UPDATE

Talkers magazine has this item on its website:

Randi Rhodes and Nova M Part Company. Randi Rhodes is apparently seeking a local radio gig and rampant rumors in the industry indicate she’s trying to get back to her old station – WJNO, Palm Beach. As for Nova M, it is reorganizing as On Second Thought. All of this comes as the two sides became unable to work with each other for some still unclear reason several weeks ago.
