Stand By Kids... SOMETHING MAY BE UP AT XM....

[Rosco T.]

take a gander at the 'new' ASK! 165 schedule... EFFECTIVE JAN 6

http://www.xmradio.com/pdf/ask_schedule.pdf

where Ed Schultz was, is now M. Gallagher & Dave Ramsey...

Now, Ed was there today, and no sign of him leaving XM..

sooooooooo.....

XM starts making programming announcements TOMORROW at CES..

I've been hearing RUMBLES of "America Left" being REBORN for a while now, buttttttttttttttt....

I've got nothing firm.. but this is VERRRRRRRRRRRRYYYY INTERRRRRRRESTING eh???

[tridim]

1. They have to do something

Howard Stern's move is going to really hurt them. I'm real close to switching to XM and another 'left' channel would get me shopping tomorrow.

[Rosco T.]

3. How about a FREE radio with only 1 month prepay??

or the portable for $49 with 1 month prepay??

and free shipping...

(six month commitment)

9. Well that's a pretty good deal!

There has to be some drawbacks to that portable unit.

Both the Roady 2 and the Airware are about 25% the size of my old Sirius receiver. :)

[Rosco T.]

11. No real drawback to the portable...

it comes with both a Home and Car Dock... so you can use it three ways...

[tridim]

16. I just bought the $20 Roady 2

Look what you've done man! :)

[Rosco T.]

17. If you had gone to page 2 you would have gotten the RoadyXT for FREE!

heh.

[tridim]

22. Heh, I just called them to switch the order

They tried to tell me that I can't buy a Roady2 and instead they could give me the XT for $19.95. I told them the site says it's free with 1 month activation. He said the deal was expired (ie your link is to an expired deal). So I canceled the order, went to Air America's current XM page and repurchased the XT for Free with 3 months activation. They'll probably argue that too. Well see.

I don't get it

[Rosco T.]

4. Ed Schultz has been on the ASK channel ....

.. since them moved him off AAR to make room for all of Randi.

.. there have been rumbles that XM will be have "America Left" reborn with Schultz at the anchor of it..

Faux News Talk <> Air America Radio

America Right <> ?????????

another Left channel to balance things out...

[DainBramaged]

5. Ok, so is it a spearate channel from 167 AAR

[Rosco T.]

6. Yes...

two different channels (AAR & ASK).. Ed has been on ASK for quite a while... but now seems to be MIA from the schedule...

something is up..

or someone goofed...

[zoeb]

2. Ramsey went from one hour to three recently

that's when they dropped Gallagher. I can't believe they're putting him back on. :shrug:

[bhunt70]

7. xm just partnered with ON-Two (too?) for video streaming software...

for their units...could be big in the following months

[Rosco T.]

8. and don't forget....

AAR has Thom Hartmann in the 'Syndication Arm'.. and he's cut up on Sirius..

as is Stephanie Miller (who is under the same umbrella as Schultz (Jones Radio)

and AAR has one of the Democracy Radio founders on their board now...

HMMMMMMMMM.............

10. Gotta say

I LOVE my XM radio. Out here in Kansas there was nothing but the usual RWers, still that way. I have been so happy since I got my XM. Got a free Roady, put it in my barn so when I work there I can listen and then I carry it around if we are traveling in my husbands car. LOVE IT! It has changed my life.

Just wanted to tell you since it seems you work for them?

[Rosco T.]

12. Nope... don't work for them...

.. done even own stock, just spreading the good word of AAR and trying to save folks some money.

[madfloridian]

13. Ed Schultz has not been part of AAR.

He is owned by Randy Michaels, former Clear Channel owner, now has a company called Project One or something like that with Stu Krane.

[Rosco T.]

14. Never said he WAS on AAR.. but he was on the AAR channel for a while..n/m

[grateful581]

15. Two Left talk channels would kick ass.

that would only make it fair now that XM has Faux news radio and america right for the repukes.

[Rosco T.]

18. Ahyup...

Stephanie Miller
Thom Hartmann
Ed Schultz
Young Turks
Lionel
Bernie Ward


would make a helluva lineup wouldn't it ...

just thinking out loud..

[grateful581]

21. good line up

Especially with my girl Stephanie.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. Bad night to announce ANYTHING about big Ed Schultz.

;) He was trashing Murtha earlier today. He's pissed that Murtha said he wouldn't join the military today. asshole. I AM relieved to know he's not on AAR though. :)

America LEFT on XM would be awesome!

[Rosco T.]

20. True... but then you could just read the 1st half...

that he's MIA from the schedule :D
