XM and Air America

[Not Me]

So what's the deal with XM's AmericaLeft??
I thought it was going to be a live stream of Air America, but seems to be a 'little of this' and a 'little of that'.

Most disappointing, they only broadcast the last hour of Randi Rhodes from 5-6PM eastern. What's up with that? It is terribly awkward to join in a program already well in progress.

Anyone know what's going on here, and are there any changes coming?

1. Bag XM, get Sirius!

XM part owned by Clear Channel

2. XM doesn't carry all of Air America

I would get rid of it also.

4. Next car...

will be sirius-equipped.
Perhaps one of the new super low emission / hybrid Ford Escapes. I need more room for my bikes.

9. Huge stake

Something like a 2% investment I believe. So Clear Channel is obviously calling all the shots.

3. when is AAR going

2 B on in LA? Streaming is very confining.

5. Air Amercia

is on channel 125 on Sirius...was listening this morning on the way to work...Sirius is the best...anyone that I talk to that has XM say's it's crap...

if you get Sirius...make sure they install an FM Modulator...cuts out the interference from other stations that may be broadcasting near the same frequency(88.7)as Sirius...

6. Or better yet, try to get a hookup through your stereo's AUX input

if there is one....

7. Does Sirius...

broadcast the whole AAR lineup?

Is it live or delayed?

8. I believe it's the whole broadcast day, and live.

but I only heard a few minutes (the Sirius is in my wife's car)

10. Sports

The Air America Stream on Sirius shares broadcasting time with Sports Play-by-Play coverage.

However, Sirius seems to be trying make AA one of the last streams they preempt. The stream should be free and clear after the NHL and NBA playoffs until October.

Any programs preempted by a game will be broadcast in it's entirety afterwards (i.e. delayed)
