XM takes a 'left' turn, KIST takes a fall (why won't the hyperlink work for me?  This link will probably won't work either but it'll give you an idea: http://ltradio.blogspot.com /2008/06/xm-takes-left-turn -kist-takes-fall.html )

"In a not-so-surprising move, XM Radio is retooling it's "Air America" channel (XM167). Come July 14, the satellite provider brings back its former name - America Left.

The channel will still carry Bill Press, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Thom Hartmann and Mike Malloy. They are also adding Stephanie Miller and The Young Turks. Miller will likely take the 9A-noon shift currently held be Lionel. No word on what role the Turks, who left Air America earlier this year to do an internet-based afternoon show, play in this grand scheme. The show initially got its start on rival (and soon to be partner) Sirius. And there is no word on possible time shifts for the channel's current offerings..."

So, July 14th, hunh?   Air America chooses Bastille Day to convert to America Left.  I always thought you leeeeberals look a little "French" to me...

I originally got XM so I could hear TYT at work and in the car.  I'm psyched to have them back, and to see the lineup getting stronger on channel 167 (Stephanie Miller is coming on-board too)!

I am pretty damned excited to have the boys back (you too Ana).

I didn't see Maddow's name on that list?  Is that an oversight or does making the brilliant move of restoring the Turkish Empire mean they have to balance it out by dumping the only damn talent on the station currently???

Or is MSNBC finally waking up and giving her a TV show?
