XM liberal talk issue

[ajhenderson]

With XM saying they'll drop Alan Colmes when his contract runs out for Channel 167, now titled Air America Radio, that will make the channel 24/7 AAR. But with AAR branching out into separate syndication efforts, will the network seek an outlet for their overlapping shows, as of now just Thom Hartmann? If I were XM and made the (boneheaded) move of dumping Sirius for XM exclusively, I would want all the mileage I could get, including all secondary shows. Of course, with the current limited offerings under the new AAR umbrella, a second libtalk channel with Miller, Schultz (presently on Ask? 165), Press, Lionel, even Colmes DBed would suffice. Any ideas of how AAR will play this?

I'd bet that we'll be hearing Hartmann delayed on overnights, where AAR normally plays replays/best ofs. Either that or on 165.
