SIRIUS Satellite Radio will air Bill Bennett's Morning in America starting on May 1st on SIRIUS Patriot, SIRIUS' conservative talk channel (ch 144) from Monday - Friday from 6am - 9am ET.

William J. Bennett, former Secretary of Education and leader of federal anti-drug efforts, is also a bestselling author, established public speaker, and commentator. He served as President Reagan's chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities (1981-1985) and Secretary of Education (1985-1988) and then President Bush's "drug czar" (1989-1990).

Bennett frequently has guests on and takes listener calls. Although he is a well-known Republican, Bennett has often crossed party lines in order to pursue important common purposes.
