Sirius "Folktown" supports protesters
Although they claim to be both sides, several DJs have made comments concerning the RNC in New York. Once of my favorites was last week when the DJ was telling listeners about the RNC and if they wanted more coverage they could tune in to Sirius Right, but if they wanted more truthful coverage they should tune in to Sirius Left. This morning a DJ called it "AAR Folktown" before he played some anti war ballots.

One catchy song they play several times a day is "Bush must be defeated" by Dan Bern, it really is good, simple but very catchy, you will find yourself singing it to yourself.

Anyhow, Sirius has a 3 day free on line subscription, no strings attached, you can listen and see if you like it. I think Folktown is channel 38. Folktown plays a lot of Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel etc as well as new songs. Next week for labor day they are having worker mike day, with various workers talking about what their lives are like.

I do not get any reward of benefits from people signing up for Sirius, but I do believe it is the best place for Air America Radio if you do not live next to a transmitter.


OH: here's another choice I have learned about, but not sure how good it is for Air America.

For now, you can hear our station world wide at www.kcaaradio.com or you can buy a stationary satellite dish and receiver for about $200.00 and hear us over your TV from satellite AMC 4 transponder 6 audio channel 4 left with no subscription charge.

To buy a "FREE TO AIR" satellite dish and receiver, go to this web site, www.signalhilltrading.com and, check back often for the release of the portable and mobile receiver.
