The Randi Rhodes Show was a local program on WIOD in Miami in 1992 and moved to WJNO in West Palm Beach, Florida in 1994.
In 2005, the Anti-Defamation League reprimanded Rhodes for comparing Hurricane Katrina refugees with Holocaust victims.
Despite what Air America stated, Randi Rhodes contended that she was not suspended for comments made about Hillary Clinton.
According to Rhodes, it was Air America who issued the press release that called attention to the video of her performance in San Francisco simply as a way to gauge her audience loyalty and her value to the network.
[5] On April 9, 2008, Air America Radio CEO Charlie Kireker issued a press release stating that Rhodes was leaving the network, in the aftermath of a brief suspension following a controversial live appearance in San Francisco.
[11] However, Rhodes stopped broadcasting on Nova M on February 3, 2009, with shows hosted by Nancy Skinner until the closing of the network.
A statement from one of the Nova M network owners appeared on their official website, but offered no explanation, claiming terms of Rhodes' contract.
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.
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.
Premiere announced that Rhodes would be joining the network beginning May 11, 2009, and would air daily in the 3-6 PM Eastern time slot.
