Recently launched nationwide talk radio network will change name from Air America Radio to Al Gorzeera.
"We received generous donations from Al Gore, so we thought we'd give him some credit through a new name," Al Franken told his audience. "Also, we thought we could capitalize on the notoriety of the Middle East news network Al Jazeera, since [the name Air America Radio] didn't really capture what we're all about anyway."The following is the new weekday lineup for the fledgling radio network:
- 6-9am - How We can win with the Politics of Hate
- 9am-12pm - We Hate George W Bush
- 12-1pm - We Hate all the other Republicans
- 1-3pm - We're better than Rush and Hannity -- Neener Neener Neener!
- 3-6pm - Al Franken Trashes Republicans
- 6-9pm - We Tell You What to Think so You Don't Have To®
The name change comes much to the chagrin of the Arabic-language Al Jazeera news network. "While it's certainly flattering that the Al Gore sponsored talk radio group has chosen to copy our name, we will sue them in a US Federal court for trademark infringement."
