Morning XM listeners:
Not happy with the last 2 hours of The Bill Press Show being replaced by Alex Bennett? A brief listen to Bennett this morning and apparently even HE isn't happy about them moving his time slot.

Contact Sirius/XM

I have found a pretty good place to stream Bill Press at KTLK:

(The "listen live" at Press's site kept dropping out.)

1. I don't look forward to my morning commute.
SeriusXM has changed the channel line-up. Gotta reprogram my radios.

3. I was really surprised, the radio in my Prius updated my favorites automatically.
I was really shocked this morning when all my pre-sets were already set to the new channel nos.

As to Press, I'm a bit ticked off about this one. I like Bill.

5. Write SiriusXM. That's the only way they'll know.
I bought XM so I wouldn't have to stream good progressive talk radio all the time. I don't consider Bennett good progressive talk radio.

And like I said in the OP, even Bennett was complaining about being on early.

2. Bennett is a complete waste of air time.
He has exactly nothing of import to say.

The entertainment factor is only surpassed by the insightful political commentary, which, of course, is *nil*.

8. I hope she is putting on an act.
'Airheaded chick' is right.

When I accidentally listen to that program, my face automatically gets screwed into the "WTF?" look.

4. I miss Bill already

I loved listening to him from 7-8am. Stupid XM (I refuse to say SiriusXM, it sounds stupid)

7. So where has Sirius scheduled Press
or have they not scheduled him? I can't listen to Alex Bennett. It's like trying to listen to two jr high kids talking about nothing for three hours. I NEVER turn him on and wait until noon to hear Thom Hartmann. My contract expires in June. I just might have to cancel.

9. Write and tell them. Press is only on for the first hour, when most of us are asleep.
I won't cancel because of one show, because I need it for the others. But I've written them and I'm writing another right now.

The Coast that matters, get Stephanie Miller live now on Sirius 127.

15. They've combined Sirius and XM. Now XM subs can only get 2 hours of Steph
instead of three like we had before.

13. I notice that they changed the channel name from "America Left" to just "Left"
Of course the right-wing channel is naturally still called "Patriot".

14. I can't believe they gave that idiot more time
