Question about Sirius satellite radio/ AAR

[Claire Beth]

Does anyone know when Air America will no longer be available to listeners on Sirius satellite radio?

2. July 11

Dear Loyal Air America Radio Listeners:

As you are aware, beginning July 11th, Air America Radio will broadcast exclusively with XM Satellite Radio. This partnership is giving us an extra leg to stand on, allows us to develop more programming, and moves us forward into the future with a strong foundation.

We recognize that this change has inconvenienced you. We greatly value your support for Air America Radio and would like to offer you a special promotion from Air America Radio and XM Radio, which we intend to send out next week.

Thank you very much for expressing your concerns to us, for your patience during this time of transition, and most important of all, for your continued support for Air America Radio.

Kind regards,

Air America Radio

(rec'd 6/14)

8. Come on over to XM

The water's just fine.

In Seattle we have both an AM AAR affiliate and XM. There are some schedule differences between AAR as broadcast on terrestrial (AM) radio and XM, however. I find myself switching off XM in the morning during the Springer show in favor of Morning Sedition on AM.

4. Did anyone else get an email recently from AirAmerica/XM

Saying that they had a special offer for all us early adopters? Didn't really have any details and it kinda pissed me off since I already went out and bought the friggin radio and service so I could listen come July 11th. Nothing like them waiting til the last minute.

9. oh trust me I understand. I did the same thing, but I finally buckled

and bought the XM setup because I couldn't stand the thought of missing Randi and Mike, now I'm just crossing my fingers that they actually broadcast both their shows in full and live. Would have been nice if they had offered something much earlier, but XM and AAR screwed this whole thing up in my mind. Would it have been so hard to have just put out a straightforward email to the listeners? All I received back was emails from them saying they knew nothing about a switch and absolutely no response back from AAR to my inquiries.
