Sirius just announced TWO Fox stations coming March 14! talk and newz |
|
So they'll have hannity's radio show and his tv show, along w/o'lielly et al. :puke:
So, Help me with a project....
I would like to start an email/call in campaign to Sirius, but I want to include a suggested lineup to fill a whole new channel with live programming, and of course, it probably couldn't/wouldn't be AAR. Forgive me if I'm not more familiar with all of our talk programs.
The lineup on their current channel: 6-9am Bill Press 9-12 Alex Bennett :boring: 12-1pm Thom "the ironman" Hartmann :headbang: 1-3pm Lynn "nails on a chalkboard" Samuels 3-6pm Big ED 6-9pm Young Turks 9-10pm Replay Stephanie Miller 10-? I don't know, never listen this late...
A tentative starting list(all times eastern): 6-9am Empty (Doug Stephan) 9am-12pm Stephanie Miller 12-3pm Thom Hartmann 3-6pm Empty 6-9pm Empty 9-? Empty
Nothing set in stone I need input Feel free to break up the hours differently, etc..
I suspect an effort to get AAR back would have broad support, but i'm not sure of their contract, etc with XM. A new path may be needed to bring more lefties to Sirius.
Thanks in advance for the help, DU! :hi:

why no XM for you? We love it. I'd like to see some changes in the AAR lineup, but we do love having XM.

9. No. I don't like the fact that they can just screw with programming and |
|
I have no say even though I'm paying for it.
I don't like how Sirius handled their programming changes and I decided I wasn't going to go through it again.

6. Not the Clear Channel "BS" at all |
|
I just like the music selection better plus the NFL, NHL, NBA, Howard Stern, Bubba the Love Sponge, etc.
I do miss AAR, but I still keep up by streaming at home. Plus, we have three Sirius receivers.

That does make a difference. We have 2 XM receivers in the house and just purchased a car we pick up tomorrow that has XM factory-installed. (Didn't buy the car just because of that, but it was a must-have option. We take a lot of long road trips.)

12. Three Hours of Thom or Fight! |
|
Sorry, one ain't gonna do it for me. He does six hours of radio a day serving the progressive community. He deserves to have one or both shows on full time. Call me grumpy, but I'm stopping here. Harrumph etc.
