Air America is carrying the worst NPR show ever
No offense to anyone who likes, or is, the execrable "Satellite Sisters," but these women are the most annoying things on the radio.

On edit: Not really. They beat the other talk radio programming on at the same time.

4. Oh man, they're boring.
I've never heard them on NPR, though. They used to be carried on KABC in Los Angeles, I believe.

6. They were on WNYC...
the local NPR station, but I haven't heard them for a long time.

Just as well-- they had their own audience who seemd to like them but a bit too "heartland" for most of us.

Maybe that's why AA picked them up, but they don't have any "heartland" stations.

(Or maybe they just work cheap.)

9. I really,really hate to say..........
this BUT they remind me of the SNL skit they used to do mocking NPR. AND why oh why are they teamed up with Chuck D? I'm probably missing something here but it just doesn't fit IMO. BUT I will still listen given the options I have.

10. They suck.
It reminds me of "Car Talk" but without a point.

14. Weekend programming should be as good as weekday
If they "invite" people to try out the station, and they tune in for the first time, on a weekend and find C R A P ..they will not be back..

Weekends should be for "not-so-famous-but-great-talkshow-hosts"...like Guy James ...
