    TV owner may buy Air America

NEW YORK (UPI) — A suburban New York TV station owner is negotiating to buy bankrupt Air America Radio, the politically liberal radio network, a published report says.

Dick French, owner of news-talk WRNN-TV in Kingston, N.Y., is leading a group of investors who may buy Air America parent Piquant LLC out of bankruptcy, The Journal News reported Friday.

There is no guarantee the talks will result in a deal, the newspaper said, citing a source close to the talks.

Any deal would have to be approved by a bankruptcy judge.

French’s son Richard, a former director of the state Democratic Party, hosts a nightly show called “Richard French Live.”

Piquant of New York filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors in October. It listed $7.8 million in assets and nearly $20 million in short-term liabilities. It listed a 2006 loss of $13 million and a 2005 loss of $19.6 million.

WRNN and Air America spokesmen declined to comment.

Air America is heard on 92 affiliates, reaching 58 percent of the country, as well as XM satellite radio.
