Just wrote to AAR to ask them if the XM schedule will continue
to broadcast Randii Rhodes, Majority Report, and Mike Malloy delayed and not live

The only way I would consider going with XM is if they broadcast the AAR schedule uninterrupted, instead of interrupting it with Ed Schultz and Alan Colmes

1. I sent a similar query two weeks ago
No reply from them to date.

3. No replay says volumes
Since on their site they specifically are soliciting questions about the XM exclusive move, I find it pretty screwed up that they would not respond to you

2. Let us know what they say
I'm hoping that since they seem to be on vacation this week it will happen on Monday. Otherwise this seems like a really bad deal for Mike and Randi, they don't have Sirrius or XM then.

4. I sent one yesterday, I've heard that they will be carrying it as of
the 17th, but I hvaen't heard anything from an official source.

I'm not THAT concerned since I stream Randi from 3-5 at work and then listen in the car on the way home. At the time of night that Colmes is on I never listen to the radio anyway. So, while it's a bummer, it's not one that really bugs me all that much.

I'm still curious what the plan is though, that's why I e-mailed.

I'd say you're better of asking XM than AAR though. I think the main hold up is that XM has contracts in place with Schultz and Colmes, they need to work out those kinks before they can move those timeslots.

7. Yeah, I saw that, but it seems like every time I've ever corresponded
directly with AAR, I get vague answers that come from an underling.

10. The CEO told me that the Actual AAR schedule will be on.
Not the current XM line up. I believe on July 17th. I met him at a Malloy event here in Atlanta a few weeks ago.

11. You're the third or fourth person I've read/heard that from.
Like I said, I think the contracts for Schultz and Colmes are the hold-up.

We shall see on Monday I guess :)

13. They all have said they spoke with someone big at XM, so we'll see
I personally haven't spoken with any honchos at XM, so I can't speak to it as absolute fact. :)
