All of the new outlets will air the show from 6 to 9 a.m., with the exception of WBZU, where the show will air in afternoons from 3 to 5 p.m.
"O&A is one of the most popular shows on XM, and now they’re reaching millions of new listeners. This is an example of how we're able to leverage our content in ways that help build our business,” XM executive vice president of programming Eric Logan said in a release.
