Just talked in person to the COO of AAR about XM. (at Malloy Event)

[onehandle]

This was at the Atlanta Democratic Meetup with Mike Malloy broadcasting the local event. He said that as of July 17th, XM would switch to Full AAR programming. No Colmes or Schultz to interrupt Randi, The Majority Report, or Malloy.

XM made them a great offer including advertising for AAR.

1. Nice

I listen to Springer, Franken, and Rhodes on XM. I don't mind listening to Ed Scultz, but I don't mind missing his show and running errands at that time either. However, I turn XM off when Colmes comes on and lisen to Malloy on the internet, so this is great. Colmes shouldn't even have a radio show, he should focus his efforts on slapping Hannity around on the TV show.

2. IMHO, your DU GD post needs more acronyms ASAP. TIA! TTYL

:evilgrin:

7. XM isn't an acronym.

As for the other two, how do you suggest I pair it down?

8. it's perfect - and a perfect fit too. Sometimes you have to pare it down!

3. Hopefully

XM will start another progressive channel with Stephanie Miller on from 9-12 so I'm spared Springer. He absolutely sucks.

4. I'm happy to hear that Malloy will be in

As for Sirius users, maybe XM can do some kind of amnesty program--offer to switch them over a a big discount.

Is it an exclusive deal with XM? Crap. Oh well, I guess I am back to streaming this from the Net.

10. Initally Malloy will be on a tape delay...

on May 1 he'll (supposed to) be on a 3 hour delay while they give people a chance to go to the bathroom while Colmes is on (yuk) then on July 16, we get 'realtime'.

11. That's right. Thanks. nt
