XM radio listeners: What will happen to the POTUS channel after the election?

I suppose they can do post-mortem's for a few weeks, but what happens when the election is finally over?

1. It would be great if they reverted back to the MSNBC channel...

2. XM activates and deactivates channels all the time, so I'm sure this one will disappear

There's no point in reserving it, since 4 years from now, there will probably be changes in the whole Sirius/XM grid now that the merger has been approved.

My personal preference would be that it gets converted to a second "liberal" talk channel, so they can stop chopping the best programs down to two hours, and airing them at the wrong times.

4. One more RW talk to add to their heavy roster

after all, America Left is a huge threat--they have to balance it out with 6 or 7 channels on the other side.
:sarcasm:

And, BTW, cannot listen to America Left online, while Fox Talk is available.

6. What do you mean, "the" holiday channel?

They have about seven of them.

I do wish they had another progressive channel. I hate getting only two hours of Stephanie Miller.

9. It will just be another one of them

Prolly the main channel.

However, I have to admit I love "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"...

And I love a great rendition of "O Holy Night".

I love holiday music, I love the winter holidays. I'm Christian, but I feel like in the U.S., Dec. is a time for all of us to get together as family and friends, to enjoy ourselves as humans, regardless if we're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hebrew, Agnostic or Atheist.

December is just a fun month to realize we're all human...and let's all drink to that!

10. If McCain weasels his way in ,it will be there to "explain" what he really meant

Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 11:09 PM by SoCalDem

if Obama wins, it will be there to trash him 24-7 and ask us if we heard he "might be a secret-muslim".
