Sirius just announced TWO Fox stations coming March 14! talk and newz

[leftupnorth]

So they'll have hannity's radio show and his tv show, along w/o'lielly et al.
:puke:

So, Help me with a project....

I would like to start an email/call in campaign to Sirius, but I want to include a suggested lineup to fill a whole new channel with live programming, and of course, it probably couldn't/wouldn't be AAR.
Forgive me if I'm not more familiar with all of our talk programs.

The lineup on their current channel:
6-9am Bill Press
9-12 Alex Bennett :boring:
12-1pm Thom "the ironman" Hartmann :headbang:
1-3pm Lynn "nails on a chalkboard" Samuels
3-6pm Big ED
6-9pm Young Turks
9-10pm Replay Stephanie Miller
10-? I don't know, never listen this late...

A tentative starting list(all times eastern):
6-9am Empty (Doug Stephan)
9am-12pm Stephanie Miller
12-3pm Thom Hartmann
3-6pm Empty
6-9pm Empty
9-? Empty

Nothing set in stone I need input
Feel free to break up the hours differently, etc..

I suspect an effort to get AAR back would have broad support, but i'm not sure of their contract, etc with XM. A new path may be needed to bring more lefties to Sirius.

Thanks in advance for the help, DU! :hi:

1. I'm glad I dumped them and I refuse to go XM

[peaches2003]

3. May I ask

why no XM for you? We love it. I'd like to see some changes in the AAR lineup, but we do love having XM.

[Rosco T.]

5. Probably still believes the bovine stuff that 'Clear Channel Owns XM'...

.. no matter HOW MANY TIMES IT'S BEEN PROVEN UNTRUE.

[xultar]

9. No. I don't like the fact that they can just screw with programming and

I have no say even though I'm paying for it.

I don't like how Sirius handled their programming changes and I decided I wasn't going to go through it again.

6. Not the Clear Channel "BS" at all

I just like the music selection better plus the NFL, NHL, NBA, Howard Stern, Bubba the Love Sponge, etc.

I do miss AAR, but I still keep up by streaming at home. Plus, we have three Sirius receivers.

[peaches2003]

7. LOL

That does make a difference. We have 2 XM receivers in the house and just purchased a car we pick up tomorrow that has XM factory-installed. (Didn't buy the car just because of that, but it was a must-have option. We take a lot of long road trips.)

8. i just purchased sirius

and constantly have problems with the signal. it's very frustrating.

10. I'm gonna drop sirius.. On weekends they pre-empt the ONLY

lefty station and put on college sports.. The right wing stations are blasting loud & clear..

2. how bout mike malloy

AAR took him off the air in the NY market, and i miss him

[Initech]

4. Glad I didnt go with Sirius then!

:puke:

[SuperWonk]

11. Hmmm -

Did anyone really think this standoff would last??

[Gold Metal Flake]

12. Three Hours of Thom or Fight!

Sorry, one ain't gonna do it for me. He does six hours of radio a day serving the progressive community. He deserves to have one or both shows on full time. Call me grumpy, but I'm stopping here. Harrumph etc.
