XM Talk Radio 165 - Is Someone in charge of the news on Vacation?

[Davage]

XM Talk Radio 165 has been playing the same news broadcast for the past 2 days at the top of the hour. Has the person in charge of the news broadcast gone on vacation?

Last Christmas I can remember hearing the Dec 24th news on the 25th and 26th.. I wonder how many days they'll let that same news reel run over and over and over this year..

This happens fairly often.
Talk Radio, Extreme XM, America's Talk, WLW, and many other talk channels on XM are from Clear Channel and have only barely minimal staff paying attention to them, if at all. CC has a grudge against XM and are keeping their channels live to deny bandwidth from Sirius XM.
When the new America's Talk channel tunred on it was so badly programmed it played the channel identification over and over instead of commercials for about 5 weeks.
