We've got DISH. Hope that's the one.

4. Jack, do you know if it's going to be in the News or Comedy section?
I looked on XM's website but couldn't find that info.

10. Just called and found out it's on the "talk" section. DUH!
I've avoided that section up until now, as it has mainly had rightwingnuts spewing their hate.

5. They could care less
Here is the response I received from Sirius:

Dear xxxxxxx,

Thanks we got your feedback! At SIRIUS, we appreciate the time you have taken to contact us regarding Air America. At this time we do not have any information concerning when or if we will carry Air America.

We appreciate your programming suggestion. Changes and additions to our streams are driven by our customers and listeners rather than dictated by advertisers. We rely on your input, and we are forwarding your suggestion to our news, entertainment and sports programming team for consideration.

Your feedback regarding our programming is extremely important to us.
We are dedicated to providing the most variety and best listening experience available anywhere.

Sincerely,

Chantell
SIRIUS Customer Care Agent

30% of XM is owned by Clear Channel, and XM will run Air America but Sirus won't.

8. Sirius had radio left, don't they?
At least they offer left-leaning talk radio of some kind.

I have asked DISH to pick up both RL and AA, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to jump on the talk radio bandwagon.

9. As their customers, we can make them (Sirius) care
it is surprising that a Clear Channel company would carry AA!!!

11. It's because us XM owners constantly e-mailed & phoned them about it...
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 11:53 AM by Dr Fate
