On August 18, 2005, the New York Sun reported that in May 2005, Multicultural Radio Broadcasting filed suit against the owners of Air America Radio, Piquant LLC, for $255,000, alleging that the transfer of assets from Progress Media to Piquant LLC was a "sham" transaction designed specifically to avoid the claims of Air America's creditors. The suit was an attempt by Multicultural Broadcasting to enforce a November 2004 judgment against Piquant. Multicultural Broadcasting sought over $1.5 million in damages from Piquant LLC. Piquant LLC reportedly subsequently settled out of court on November 18, 2005.
