Losing altitude Air America has shut its sales offices in Los Angeles and Chicago and is recasting its business plan, the network's president said Wednesday as troubles beset the liberal talk-show network. With Air America not broadcasting in those two cities after a financial dispute in April, network President Jon Sinton said, "There's not much sense in having sales offices in cities where you don't control a station." About 15 to 20 people were laid off in the closing of the sales offices, the latest sign of problems for Air America, launched on March 31 as a liberal alternative to the country's predominantly conservative talk-show culture led by Rush Limbaugh. Since it started, Chairman Evan Cohen, Vice Chairman Rex Sorensen and head of programing David Logan have left while co-founder Mark Walsh has stepped down as chief executive to take a smaller role in the organization, Reuters news agency reports.
