Ed Schultz is great, but I guess you pay for him too from another network.

Air American doesn't have anything to do with that. XM owns the station and they can pick and choose the line up from multiple networks, independents and if they want to, shows of their own creation.

I'm just saying you have three entities: The shows, what networks they belong to if any and the stations which may be affiliated with multiple networks but are not obligated to carry every show the network offers.

I have Sirius radio and I've noticed that the left has one channel while the right seems to have two. One of them, patriot radio I believe,isn't listed as right wing in the channel listings but it clearly is. There are more than enough programs from multiple sources for two left leaning stations. The satellite radio providers should create a second station.
