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.

Morning Sedition 6:00 a.m. Eastern
Standard Time
Unfiltered w/Lizz Winstead and Chuck D. 9:00 a.m.
Al Franken Noon
Ed Schultz 3:00 p.m.
Randi Rhodes 6:00 p.m.
Marty Kaplan 7:00 p.m.
Jeanene Garofalo 8:00 p.m.
Alan Colmes 10:00 p.m.

PROGRESSIVE MY ARSE!

Liberals dont have the COURAGE to ADMIT they are LIBERALS. 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

I'm pretty much centrist myself.. 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.

Well Dan, I guess you're entitled. 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.

That's the *only* thing that *might* matter. In the long run, however,
it balances out, because you generally get 8 years of Republicans and
then 8 years of Democrats. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

You've got a lot of nerve to be telling the truth Dan! Get ready to duck : )

If only that were true. This is the era of Big Government. There are
thousands and thousands of jobs to be handed out. There are billions of
dollars worth of contracts to be awarded. People will be prosecuted, or not
prosecuted, based on the outcome of the election.

It makes a great deal of difference who wins, at least for some people.
And, yes, candidates will say most anything, but they put much less in
writing.

over.

Sorry if I gave you nightmares!

All of that will happen no matter who is in the White House. If the
job goes to Eany, Meany, Miney or Moe it makes little difference.
