Air America grounded in dispute over money (Chicago Sun-Times)

[Richard Chonak]

Sirius Satellite Radio is adding "Air America" to its lineup starting 4/19:

so I suppose this gives AA national coverage, after a fashion.

Does anybody know how the relationship between Sirius and program providers 
  works?   Does "Air America" pay for the slot?

Given that Sirius now carries the weekday talk shows of PRI, 2 channels of 
NPR, Air America, its own "Sirius Left" channel, and the gay-oriented 
"OutQ", I think Sirius customers will not face a shortage of left-wing 
analysis and opinion.    On the conservative side, they have "Sirius Right" 
and some of the shows on the variety-talk channels.
