Friends,

I have just learned that AAR has hired a new VP for Interactive Services, and likely will be starting up its own premium pay site for access to its archives. (Likely in Real Media format only.)

I believe this will eventually mean the end of White Rose Society's permission to archive The Mike Malloy Show and The Randi Rhodes Show as it is difficult to sell what you also give away. However, I have no idea as to when they will get this long-planned yet long-delayed feature off the ground; I felt that I owed it to you guys to give you a "heads up" that change is in the air.

White Rose will not end there, however, as we are constantly looking for voices that need to be heard by a much wider audience. Liberal and Progressive radio is growing in this country, and AAR has no monopoly on good Liberal radio.

I hope that in the future, when AAR is charging for access to the archives, that you will continue to patronize White Rose and give the other voices we feature a chance to win you over.

Thank you all for being such great friends.

Sincerely,

-Ben Burch
White Rose Society Webmaster

Hey Ben, have you considered the Stephenie Miller Show?

Yes, and they considered me, but they have their own archives now.

Makes no sense to me.

"Let's get this network growing by limiting the listenership. Damn good idea!"

There is no AAR affiliate in Indiana that I know of. Ben, your site is the only way I can get to Mike, Randi, et al..

You have my eternal gratitude for your work so far.
