If they claim Ed was originally part of AAR, they are lying; he has been Jones Network from the start, actually before AAR even hit the air I understand. Randi is predicting XM and Sirius will merge, but they certainly should program what the subscribers want; I thought 'choice' was supposed to be much of the reason they are supposed to be 'superior'? Oh well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391593.post-30412721217813807442007-02-12T22:19:00.000-08:002007-02-12T22:19:00.000-08:00Just received confirmation from XM Radio that they...Just received confirmation from XM Radio that they are screwing Thom Hartmann out of the 12 noon to 3:00 pm EST slot in favor of Ed Schultz. <BR/><BR/>They have the audacity to claim that Ed Schultz was part of the original AAR programming and that is part of the reason they will carry him instead of Thom Hartmann in the time slot being vacated by Al Franken. <BR/><BR/>It appears that AAR does not have the ability to control what parts of their programming XM Radio either carries or does not carry, so they get to pick and choose, and in this case they are going with Schultz. Not getting Thom Hartmann as the replacement for Franken is a tremendous loss for AAR listeners that do not have a local affiliate and are forced to listen on XM Radio. <BR/><BR/>This might be reason enough to change from XM to Sirus.<BR/><BR/>Since XM did not ask its listeners to Channel 167 what they want in that time slot, we should get to vote with our subscriptions, and to get Thom Hartman is reason enough to subscribe to Sirus Radio instead of XM Radio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
