I got an email shortly after noon from a listener saying Jim Sumpter is ending his show, effective today. He’s had a syndicated radio show for a very long time. I believe a couple of his frequent topics are gun rights and President Obama’s birth certificate.<\/p>\n
He renewed his contract with USA Radio Networks back in January 2015, so the timing in the middle of a week in the middle of the month is irregular. He is already scrubbed from the USA Radio Network web site, and nothing on his own web site<\/a> or Facebook page.<\/p>\n IRN\/USA had been put into receivership in 2013 and was sold to a Christian broadcaster in North Carolina late in 2014. USA Radio network was created by the original host of Point of View who died in 2004. <\/p>\n Independent talk radio distributors are an endangered species. This is likely a preview of coming attractions. If anyone knows anything more specific, let us know. Today’s show was a “best of”, so the announcement might even not be from today.<\/p>\n Here is the “why” IRN was forced into receivership<\/p>\n
