XM / Sirius

[bookman]

Well tomorrow, July 11th, is the day XM's exclusive rights were set to begin. Has anyone seen an evidence of change? Both web sites have AAR still in their schedules as of tonight.

I have noticed Sirius Left ads on AAR on Sirius for some time.

I just hope I can listen to all of Randi and not have to work around Alan Colmes.

1. Something's wrong with AAR management.

This was not a good way to build loyal followers. I love Randi but the rest of AAR I can take or leave. Many got SIRIUS for AAR and now they'r stuck for a period of time and for new equipment, installation. Bad business move.

I'll stick with SIRIUS and enjoy Big Eddie (he's a hard ass and calls for impeachment from time to time), Hartmann and the others. Frankly, the morning SIRIUS and XM drive times stink. Fortunately, I'm a night person but, good lord thest to guys, Alex and Jerry Springer, stink!

3. I like Young Turks on Sirius Left....

But I don't like Big Eddie.

6. I hear that but I listened to him from Pittsburgh to about 1/2 way to DC

He kept saying Bush should be impeached. It was great. And he said that Durbin was betrayed by the DEMS who failed to come to his aid. I like that stuff.

I do like the Young Turks. They've got good 'tude!
:hi:

2. Whew, I hope it sticks around cuz I ain't giving up on Sirius...

I only listen to Al Franken anyway.

4. Paying for Sirius by the month for a while. New show I heard mentioned.

I don't see it on the schedule, but it was advertised on 149 Sirius. It was hosted by Bill Bradley, but I have not seen it anywhere yet.

They keep calling 149 Sirius Talk Central, but they have it listed as 148. I will listen to Randi via computer until I see the XM full line-up. Too expensive to keep switching.

5. I canceled XM and sold my unit as soon as I found out that Clear Channel

was involved...

8. Clear Channel is NOT involved

They had a very small stake in the company early on; they no longer do.

7. highly likely that they'll end up merging at some point . . .

that's how it's done in corporate America . . .
