Apparently WBUR - Boston’s NPR station - is canceling The Connection and moving On Point into the newly vacated 10am slot. They’re also going to refocus Here and Now to be more Boston-oriented.

This effects on the XM Public Radio lineup (which carries all three shows). WBUR is apparently changing it’s focus from the push into national syndication, of which XM was a big part. With the relationship between WBUR and XM, it’ll be interesting to see how this affects XM Public Radio.

Thanks Scott!

This week marks the beginning of Air America switching over from SIRIUS to XM Satellite Radio, in a move that surprised many back when the exclusive pact was announced back in April. This also marks the renaming of Channel 167 from XM Left to “Air America Radio” since a big chunk of the programming will be as a result of this partnership.
