The show will be produced by XM Satellite, which also produces the Jonathan Schwartz four hour show immediately ahead of it. Bob Edwards will continue his weekday XM show, from which the new show is drawn. Bob Edwards Edited February 18, 2006 by Rail Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kim Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 XM radio is simply great, I love it...Edwards' morning show contains some of the best interviewing on radio. I'm sure the 1 hour show will be interesting, but I encourage anyone who can to subscribe to xm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foodie52 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I'm glad he is working again, and I hope he will be happy. I was so annoyed when NPR dropped him, that I didn't renew my membership that year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The new WNYC radio Saturday format will have the XM supplied Bob Edwards show following the XM supplied Schwartz program. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kim Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 re: subscription rates I suspect the two are very competitive in rates..perhaps 2 or 3 bucks difference per month. I can't comment much about Sirous, as I have never listened to it..and the Stern connection is to me, like Ranitdine, an XM selling point. XM has Air america, and I enjoy Franken's spin. Oprah is coming soon, FWIW, but mostly I love Frank's Place, (a 40/50's lounge music station) , the jazz station, the bluegrass and Folk stations, and NPR. Also great to have CNN for breaking news. I must admit I am not sure of the cost..3 of our cars have it, plus we have the converter to hoo,k it up to ur home system, , but our reception here in the sticks is not good enough to enjoy it clearly. ( The real issue is that our home is stone, and the antennae can't be easily mounted to a window that faces a direction with a clear signal. We had to hardwire our house..wireless connections don't permeate the stone, and we even have interior stone walls) I'll try to find a statemement..I THINK it was in the $10 per month range..perhaps $129 per year?

I know you have the right intention but you are unnecessarily punishing your local public radio station by doing this. They had nothing to do with him being dropped.
