KUDOS to XM Satellite Radio for the P.O.T.U.S. Channel 130

[Mike 03]

This has been every political junky's dream:

All politics, all the time.
24/7.
For over one year.
Focusing on nothing other than the election of the new President of the United States (and, currently, important Senate and House seats).

Who would'a thunk?

What a brilliant, innovative, creative idea.

I hope somebody from XM sees that we appreciate them!

I, for one, wish they would consider continuing this channel, at least until the inauguration.

1. I love POTUS 08

Shout out to Cameron Gray!

[medeak]

2. love McCain media conference calls for comedy

yep...POTUS has been a goldmine for me K&R

[Mike 03]

10. I love the conference calls, too. That was probably my favorite aspect of the

channel.

[medeak]

12. another fave was Obama speaking to educators

and using his Harvard verbiage.. a clue to how he must have to downsize his words in speeches to an 8th grade level...not the REAL Obama...he showed how brilliant he is in real life.

[HeraldSquare212]

3. Amen. And I'm sure it will continue in some updated incarnation.

They're still proving that post-merger they'll be good citizens, and I think showing how much public affairs programming they do will be part of that pitch.

4. And FREE - only channel that works after my trial ended

[Mike 03]

11. Thank you for reminding me. This is true, and I should have

mentioned it.

Isn't there a free emergency channel too? I think so, and they did great coverage of the recent hurricanes.

[Rosco T.]

13. Emergency Channel 247 (24/7) n/t

[medeak]

14. whaa? trial ended?

details please

[ddeclue]

5. An island of information in a sea of ****...

I listen to this, C-SPAN (radio and TV), XM Left for my news mostly.

I watch MSM but most of it is junk.

[MoeHayNow]

6. Yep! It was a damn good idea!

When they announced it, I thought it was a "risky" move, but since this has turned into the most exciting, most historic election ever...well, clearly someone at XM had her thinking cap on!

[bbernardini]

7. If only they would bring back Special X and Music Lab. nt

[budkin]

8. I just lost my free XM :-(

Can't afford to keep it going past the trial included with my free car. Someday though!

[Rosco T.]

16. how about 77 bucks for a year?

call 1800.347.0600 and mention the promo code ZWINBACK. You got it on a postcard in the mail.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

9. And It's Actually Intelligent, Non-Partisan, And Able To Be Listened To. I've LOVED It!

It's all that's been on my radio, to my passengers' dismay LOL

[maseman]

15. Listened to POTUS for over a year

And they did a great job staying in the middle. How refreshing.
