The radio host Randi Rhodes has left Air America, the progressive radio outlet said Thursday, ending her national syndicated show and leaving the network with a three-hour hole in its afternoon schedule.
Ms. Rhodes, the host of the “The Randi Rhodes Show” will join KKGN, the Air America affiliate in San Francisco.
She was suspended by Air America a week ago after a video of her making disparaging remarks about the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton surfaced on YouTube. Ms. Rhodes liken Ms. Clinton to a prostitute at an event sponsored by KKGN on March 22.
The program director of KKGN, John Scott, said in an announcement on the station’s Web site that Ms. Rhodes would come on board on April 14.
In a statement, the chairman of Air America, Charlie Kireker, and the president Mark J. Green said Ms. Rhodes had chosen to leave.
Ms. Rhodes was the host from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. for Air America, and the network did not immediately announced a successor.
