Question re:AA on satellite radio

[goondogger]

I know the XM radio carries Air America programming, any Sirius subscribers able to confirm whether they carry AA or have comparable programming?

1. Sirius has just announced it will carry Air America too, as well..

as its Sirius Left lineup. I'm in Hog Heaven. I'm just trying to find out when they will start. If you don't get it on Satellite, in the Inland Empire, California (Riverside and San Bernardino Counties), you generally don't get it at all. When will they start? What channel?

2. Thanks, out here

I only get conservative radio on my way to work, and as much as I like knowing what talking points they're feeding the sheep, my doc says I gotta lower the ol' blood pressure . . .

3. It's going to be a separate channel

Sirius will have Radio Left and Air America starting on the 19th of this month. There's a press release at: http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/CachedPage&c=PresReleAsset&cid=1080597645912

4. This is what I get now...and I love it.

(Thanks for the link.) Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, the Young Turks (really good), Peter B. Collins. All excellent. Tragically, they just added Alan Colmes (no time for him).

That's Sirius Left.

When they put up the Air America Channel, I will have difficult choices to make. Hope they have lots of re-runs.

And yes, my hubby got me Sirius Left because Right-wing Radio gets my blood pressure up too much too.
