(The Hollywood Reporter) Internet talk radio outlet eYada, the product
of a company founded by "King Biscuit Flower Hour" creator Robert
Meyrowitz, ceased operations Monday.
"We have closed eYada, which affects about 53 people," Meyrowitz
said. "We will decide what happens with our other ventures in the
course of the next few days. Things have to be done in an orderly
fashion, and this first order of business is this."
He said New York-based eYada was unable to attract any additional
money in the current business climate. "It's our misfortune to be
a dot-com company caught in the perfect storm," Meyrowitz said.
"No venture capital firm wants to put more money into it, and no
advertiser wanted to advertise anywhere on the Internet."
Some newspaper columnists, such as New York Post Page Six
Editor Richard Johnson, had radio shows on the network.
