America's Talk

Arriving on the weekday lineup from XM 165 were Jim Quinn and Bruce Williams, still played live mornings and evenings.

The next day, AllAccess.com reported Bruce's show would move to Rocky Mountain Radio, with distribution handled by Global American Broadcasting.

Less than one month later, Sally Jessy Raphael's radio show ceased broadcasting without warning, and was immediately replaced by Dave Ramsey.

Other shows were moved over from sister XM 165, including Dave Ramsey, Rollye James, Ron Wilson, The Group Room, and Bob Costas.

Bruce's reaction was an unhappy one, and he encouraged listeners to email feedback to him, whether it be good or bad, so he could forward it to the channel programmers.

Dave Ramsey's time on America's Talk turned out to be short lived, as Premiere Radio introduced the Bill Handel Show to afternoons.

On December 1, 2010, Dr. Dean Edell announced his retirement from radio after his flagship station, KGO San Francisco, dropped the show in favor of a local news hour.

Dean Edell reruns continued at 4 PM, until an encore hour of Leo Laporte replaced the afternoon slot, and Dr. Daliah Wachs took over the 5 AM timeslot.

The Rollye James Show, which had aired on XM Radio for 7 years in both syndication and live exclusivity across three different co-owned channels, came to an end on March 31, 2011.

Rollye had claimed on her show that Clear Channel's new programming staff had tried to find ways to get her out of the contract as early as a year prior to the deadline, but no avenues were found, and the obligation was fulfilled to the last minute.

Many listeners called and emailed the programmers at Sirius XM Radio in hopes to bring the show to one of their in-house programmed channels.

Rollye James has said on her show, as well as her website, that she had been floated several offers from other companies, including Sirius XM in New York City, but so far, no solid plans for return to the air have been made.

According to Radio Insight, all of Clear Channel's other XM stations were originally scheduled to depart the satellite service on August 28, 2013.

However, the online newsletter Tom Taylor Now speculated these other stations were to remain on XM until "sometime in October" due to commitments to advertisers.
