Sheldon Drobny's the mastermind behind Air America Radio, which departed the DFW airwaves in October '06.

Turns out, they started their own competitor: Nova M Radio, which broadcasts the likes of big fucking Hillary Clinton fan Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy, who will scream at you when Nova M makes its Dallas debut at the far right of the dial -- heh -- on July 1. That's when the Drobnys return to North Texas with the launch of Rational Radio on KMNY-AM (1360). --Robert Wilonsky
