Al Franken leaving Air America on Valentine's Day
According to John Scott of KQKE, Al Franken will leave Air America December 10.
I will try to have a clip available soon, but it's pretty much official as I mentioned earlier on the blog.
UPDATE Nov. 15, 2006:
I finally got around to tracking down and extracting the radio segment here:
John Scott talks about Al Franken Leaving Air America on the Nov. 6 edition of the "Progressive News Hour"
(Click for MP3)
It's official. Franken will leave Feb 14:
The network said in a statement that Franken's last day on the network would be Feb. 14, and that his 12pm-3pm ET time slot would be taken over by Portland, Ore.-based talk show host Thom Hartmann.
The network didn't specify in a statement why Franken was leaving, but Franken told the AP earlier this month that he had contacted Minnesota lawmakers to seek advice about a possible run for the Senate.

Are you sure you're not confusing this with the date Al Franken leaves to go of the USO tour?
I'm not confusing the two. Check out the clip I just posted :)
