I will 'second' that. And agree as well. . .
with the 'slowness' of the G-man albeit he does offer some insights. . .occasionally. . . and Snow although associated with Fox News is a great guy; but he firmly rooted in the 'nice'. . .or perhaps his voice cannot do 'angry'. . .whatever, I get more than impatient when he cannot emotionally 'rise' to the issues and people, we are literally at war with. . . and so find him frustrating. . .
As for Tammy Bruce; not always in agreement; but do like her. ..and think as an ex-Lib; she can bring some enlightenment to Liberals. . .where others are doomed to fail.
And while Rush has yet to go 'satellite'; he has talked about his options; but should he; I now doubt it would be Sirius.
Fox News was my original motivation for going Satellite. . .and turning to 133 and hearing CNN - could in short time; make me a hazzard on the road; so have to deal with this quickly! Am traveling today. . .and not happy about my radio options.
SIRIUS must be listening as a recent survey to their subscribers included a couple of questions about FOX News. Follows are responses from FOX and SIRIUS to my emails:
From FOX News: "Heres the story: we have been taken off of Sirius because management there allowed the contract to expire without renewing it, despite the fact that we contacted them more than six months ago. We contacted XM at the same time and had a new contract after just a few short meetings. There's some nonsense on the Internet that we gave XM a better deal than we're asking from Sirius. That IS just nonsense. We've never asked Sirius for a penny more than we've gotten from XM. We WANT to be back on Sirius. If youd like to help us out, give Sirius a call at 888-539-7474 and let them know how important FOX News is to you."
From SIRIUS: "SIRIUS is also disappointed that the FOX News Channel will no longer be included in our programming lineup. We are still in conversations with FOX in the hopes that they will return to the air and will continue to work in the best interest of our subscribers."
"At SIRIUS, we appreciate your programming feedback regarding the FOX News Channel // Channel 133. SIRIUS is currently discussing future programming options with FOX and we will do what we believe to be in best interest of our subscribers and shareholders."
From SIRIUS: "SIRIUS is also disappointed that the FOX News Channel will no longer be included in our programming lineup. We are still in conversations with FOX in the hopes that they will return to the air and will continue to work in the best interest of our subscribers."

When I contacted BMW the other day re change. . .the person I spoke with was shocked and disappointed. . .and concerned. . .good to let your radio source know as well. . .this affects all those who sell Sirius radio et al. . .
Meantime. . .I will continue to e-mail Sirius with the hope for change; and I hope those who drop them; let them hear as well.
Maybe already mentioned here; but while news of Fox News departure is at best, 'sparse'. . .it seems there is more to celebrate in 'Leftwingland'. . .and a Sirius.
