XM and Progress Media Further Political Discourse Through Humor, Insight and Intelligent New Voices WASHINGTON and NEW YORK, March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XM Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: XMSR - News), the pioneer and leader in satellite radio, on Wednesday, March 31, debuts XM America Left, Channel 167, a new talk radio channel dedicated to progressive political viewpoints. Broadcasting coast-to-coast from its headquarters less than a mile from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, XM provides the highly-anticipated Air America Radio with its first national platform. XM's fast-growing nation of more than 3 million listeners now can tune in daily to Air America's talented and opinionated on-air personalities including popular satirist Al Franken, comedienne Jeanene Garofalo, hip hop icon Chuck D. and environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. New channel XM America Left complements XM's other talk programming which features more conservative on-air talent, including Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and Ann Coulter. "We are excited to provide a national audience to progressive superstar Al Franken and his spirited cohorts at Air America. Challenging our listeners, and giving them the best and broadest choices possible is our daily mission at XM. Where else are you going to find Al Franken and Bill O'Reilly, or opera and punk for that matter, living under one roof," said Hugh Panero, XM President and CEO. "We cannot think of a better way to bring our important message directly into the cars, homes and minds of Americans than broadcasting on XM Satellite Radio," said Mark Walsh, CEO of Progress Media. "There is a great underserved market of Americans who want to hear compelling and funny talk voices expressing viewpoints long absent from the radio airwaves. Air America on XM will go a long way to correcting this imbalance at a particularly opportune time." America Left's daily program schedule includes the Air America lineup and the popular shows of progressive talk radio personalities Ed Schultz and Alan Colmes.

PROGRESSIVE MY ARSE! Liberals dont have the COURAGE to ADMIT they are LIBERALS.

I have liberal view on some things (health care for the elderly, death penalty, etc.) and conservative views on other things (taxes, abortion, etc.).. but I have never understood what the far right hates so much about the left (or vice-versa for that matter). Both sides have some crazy ideas, both sides have some great ideas. For instance, if not for liberals, women would still not have the vote, blacks would still be slaves, and you would be working in a sweatshop for $1 an hour. If not for conservatives, we would be paying half of our wages in taxes and would never be able to own a home or have credit... |

It's all about "bragging rights". "We Won The Election!" "We're In The White House!" "We're More Popular!". Neener Neener! It has nothing to do with "The Future Of America" or any of that rhetoric. It's a horse race, a beauty pageant. Pure and simple. That's why I gave up voting about 20 years ago. It makes no difference who "wins" or who "loses". Any candidate will say anything to any group in order to get elected. Whatever you all decide is fine with me. Just wake me up when it's all over.

But if you think judicial appointments, which are purely based on the party in power, have nothing to do with the future of the country, or the present in which you're living, there's not much I can say. |

They use the PC word "progressive" in it's place because they dont have the GUTS (or intellect)to argue (with reason instead of name-calling) their true position on ANYTHING Yodar I think the term "progressive" is appropriate. The progressive movement formed sometime around the end of the 19th century and the progressives favored the use of do-gooder government to enforce their ideas of social justice and equality. Liberals, at least in the 18th and 19th century sense are similar to modern libertarianians. I like the return of the distinction between liberals and progressives, and I hope the distinction becomes even clearer. I'd be even more pleased if old fashioned liberalism came back as a potent political force in the US. Frank Dresser |

Bashing politicians is OK, but it gets tiresome. I wonder if they really have a handle on the success of Rush Limbaugh. Rush was one of the first media people who made it seem fun to be a conservative. Conservatives used to be ridiculed as a bunch of uptight squares. It was the conservatives who wrote the Blue Laws. It was the conservatives who banned books and movies. It was the conservatives who got the vapors when skirts went above the knee. Rush properly turned the ridicule back on the liberals (actually it's the progressives, but that distinction got blurred about a century ago). The liberals tell you not to smoke. The liberals punish people who don't wear a seat belt. The liberals say a steak is not only unheathy, but meat production will destroy the world's environment. The modern liberals(progressives) have become the new administrators of the nanny state. I think liberal talk radio could be successful. But I'm sure guilt radio will never get past the NPR level.
