"Beginning in May, XM's liberal talk channel, America Left (XM Channel 167) will be renamed Air America Radio. The channel will include an expanded line-up of Air America Radio programming, including the recently debuted "Springer on the Radio" hosted by Jerry Springer and upcoming "Rachel Maddow Show," among others. "

and

Quote:

"XM's Washington, D.C. headquarters will offer dedicated studio space for special live broadcasts throughout the year for Air America Radio programs featuring Rachel Maddow, Marc Marron, Mark Riley, Al Franken, Katherine Lanpher, Jerry Springer, Randi Rhodes, Sam Seder, Janeane Garofalo, Chuck D, Mike Malloy, Laura Flanders, Steve Earle, Robert Kennedy Jr., Mike Papantonio, Kyle Jason, Marty Kaplan, and Betsy Rosenberg."


a) they include Mike in the Press Release

b) 'among others'... what 'others' are there after Mike???

We can MAKE SURE Mike is carried on XM...

a coupla of years back, XM dropped part of one show (Monsters of the Midday) and they got over 5,000 calls/emails on it..

they restored the show to full length in less than 48 hours.

this is the DIRECTOR OF TALK PROGRAMMING at XM RADIO.

[e-mail]

She's a Sweetie and will LISTEN and DOES CARE. If you email her with a phone number, she WILL MOST LIKELY CALL YOU BACK to talk about your position. BE POLITE TO HER.

GET BUSY ON THE EMAILS, PASS THE WORD TO EVERY TRUTHSEEKER YOU KNOW.

Phone calls also in addition to emails.

XM Headquarters:

Phone: [phone]
Fax: [phone]

This new schedule goes into effect May 1, this is Apr 11. We've got 20 days to SET THE SCHEDULE.

DO NOT BE ABUSIVE, THREATING OR SMART ASS.

Be polite and to the point.

If you're a Sirius subscriber, then let them know the only way you're coming over is MIKE MALLOY (and the rest of Randi)

if you're an existing XM Subscriber, let them know that YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THEM TO GET MALLOY AND IT WILL INFLUENCE YOUR FUTURE RADIO PURCHASES (one for home, one for car, one for work).

if you're not a subscriber to either then make it clear that THE FULL AAR LINEUP WILL BE YOUR DECIDING FACTOR IF YOU GO TO SAT RADIO PERIOD (can't use the Sirius arguement any more).

Make your displeasure with Alan Colmes known.

MAKE IT STRONG YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SECOND 'Left Channel' with Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Bernie Ward, Lionel... that there is MORE THAN ENOUGH TALENT OUT THERE TO PROGRAM A SECOND CHANNEL.
