XM

Any news on the new XM schedule which should start Monday? Mark Riley said this morning that he would be on vacation next week, for whatever that might mean.

1. Sam Seder

is getting the 9-Noon time slot as reported by Kos. I hear Rachel Maddow is also moving. This'll be interesting.

2. Rachel

Rachel has already announced she is 6-8 PM, meaning Randi must be going to 3 hours or so it seems.

Thanks. I'll check out Kos. I'm ecstatic that it looks like JS is gone, unless of course AF runs for the Senate and then JS replaces him Noon to 3. We'll see.

3. Mark Riley is as good as gone.

The only reason Riley was even on the AAR schedule is that it was required under the contract with WLIB that Riley be the "morning host."

Riley's hamfisted delivery and general ineptitude, I feel, is what really killed "Morning Sedition," and I wish that AAR hadn't burned their bridges so badly with Marc Maron. Maron alone weekday mornings from 6-9 would be beautiful, but never gonna happen now.
