Breitbart, the conservative firebrand news site, is getting its own daily morning drive-time radio show on SiriusXM.
The show will be hosted by Breitbart Executive Chairman Stephen Bannon and co-hosted by Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow and will air from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Mondays through Fridays on the satellite radio provider's "Patriot Channel", which also features the likes of Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Glenn Beck. The show launches Nov. 2.
"The show is the natural extension [of Breitbart.com]," Bannon said in an interview. "It reflects what’s on the pages of the site so we couldn't be happier."

So far, so good. No, very good! They are taking the stories they report on their web sites and expand them with the reporters.
Bannon has been impressive. He stays focused on the solid content. And he is good at engaging the callers. And they are getting a lot of callers.
It replaces Mike Church in the morning.
He was fun and entertaining (sometimes) but had a bad attitude that showed.
I think he was bitter that he never rose to Rush or Hannity stature on radio.
I tried to send him some polite criticisms to this effect and got nasty responses, to the point where I just ended up telling him to F-— off..
I told them I had never gotten such rude responses from Rush or Hannity
But Glenn Beck????
seriously.
Why does he get invited?????
I was on the road Monday enroute to SEMA in Vegas and caught it on Sirius. Absolutely awesome show especially the bit from Britain on UKIP the EU and more of Obamas stupidity.
I found Church impossible to listen to. Felt like he never took a breath or a moment to reflect.
Constant assault seasoned with arrogance is not how one grows an audience.
Again, the content rich ethos of the Breitbart platform is well reflected in what I am hearing.
Church always seemed to be full of himself. Like he was the smartest person in the room. I couldn’t stand the way he preached and sermonized. Glad he is gone.
Mike Church always had some way of turning every issue into an assault on tge Catholic church. As soon as he did I would flip channel.
Beck does the same thing but in a non-denominational sense.
It's a good question. I do not know who makes programming decisions. I'm just glad they have The Great One. My local talker often pre-empts him for sports.
So, the question remains, where did Church go? Did he get a different time slot or what? If you wanted to stay up on Constitution events and Constitutionalists his was a good show in my opinion.
...and yes you had to ignore the arrogance, but his guests usually were worth the wait.
Thanks don
Hmmmm? Tough one. He has to have two thousand converts as supporters to make the new endeavor work. I listened maybe twice a month when I thought about it. He is tough to stomach much of the time. Wish him luck though and as long as it lasts I can still listen twice a month.
Didn’t Breitbart already have a Sunday evening program on Patriot?
And Saturday as well, I believe. That will continue per the source. I was always forgetting to tune in. This daily thing is a major step up.
I have no television but do listen to the audio of the cable stations that are offered - Fox, CNN, MS. I find them all difficult to listen to because of their formats. Too much yak yak, laughing, ad libs, talking over each other. The POTUS channel is actually head and shoulders above all of those.
Now, all Sirius needs to do, is flop Levin & Hannity. I turn to the Comedy Channel at 3 p.m. Can’t stand listening to repeat, repeat and repeat, Hannity.
I like it too. Muuucch better than Church - never listened to him.
POTUS channel - is it biased?
They have Wilkow in the 9 to noon slot (against Beck). And they do a Press Briefing show that is interviews with various reporters. Bias? Perhaps. But, I can deal with it, by using my own brain.
I like it that they have only one person talking at a time, as opposed to the Idiocracy like style of the others I mentioned. There is some actual, sometimes interesting content.
