OK - I'm confused about Hartmann and AAR

[DancingBear]

Is Tom going to replace Franken on the conventional AAR line-up that comes forth from my XM unit, or is he just going to be part of the AAR syndication effort so conventional broadcast stations can pick and choose?

In other words, when I tune in to XM at 12 noon M-F who the hell is going to be talking at me? :)

Nothing changes on the schedule, but AAR branches out into syndication.

2. Syndication is ok...

But I would of preferred it if they started Air America 2, or something like that.

Even if it was an internet only network, at least it would mean even more programming per day (and you could allow stations to choose from either network for programming).

3. Not a good idea

The network is still growing.

Better to strengthen the current product. With Hartmann, they take over his syndication, add to their offerings and get a foot in the door at some of his affiliates.
