Walsh never returned to the offices while Cohen was chairman, and resigned from the company several weeks later. </p><p>Two weeks after the on-air debut of Air America Radio, programming was withdrawn in two key markets due to contract disputes. <a href="/wiki/Multicultural_Broadcasting" title="Multicultural Broadcasting">Multicultural Radio</a> owned two stations contracted to carry Air America programming, in Chicago and <a href="/wiki/Santa_Monica,_California" title="Santa Monica, California">Santa Monica</a>, California. Air America alleged that Multicultural Radio had sold time on its Los Angeles station to both Air America and another party, and said that that was why it stopped payment on checks due to Multicultural while Air America investigated.

In a tense late night meeting, which included Franken, Saade, the Drobnys, Mark Walsh and other investors, the company found out that it had virtually no assets. It asked David Goodfriend to operate the company while a reorganization was planned and new funds were raised. Subsequently, the company had a number of acting CEO's, including outside investor Doug Kreeger and Jon Sinton for a short period. </p><p>The tumultuous early days of the network were chronicled in a fly-on-the-wall <a href="/wiki/HBO" title="HBO">HBO</a> documentary, <i>Left of the Dial</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As part of a reorganization, the Progress Media board of directors bought the assets of that company, creating a new company, Piquant LLC; at around the same time, the company decided to stop trying to buy radio stations and lease air time, and to allow affiliates to carry programming outside of the network's offerings. </p><p>On February 28, 2005, a new CEO, <a href="/wiki/Danny_Goldberg" class="mw-redirect" title="Danny Goldberg">Danny Goldberg</a>, was named, and in April 2005, Gary Krantz was named president of the network.

Maron was offered an evening show, which ran briefly on affiliate <a href="/wiki/KEIB" title="KEIB">KTLK</a> in Los Angeles, but Air America never followed through with promised national syndication and the show was cancelled in July 2006.

In the two weeks before the firing, Malloy had announced an impending multi-year deal for him to stay with Air America (and to return on the air in New York City). The firing was explained as for financial reasons. Rumours persist that Malloy's criticism of Israel during its bombardment of Lebanon in the summer of 2006 may have played a role.
