History

America's Talk launched on November 19th, a week delayed after November 12th. It included a weekday lineup consisting of the new-to-XM Sally Jessy Rephael show "Talknet", named after the old NBC Talknet. The rest of the lineup consisted of shows moved from other channels, and replays. Arriving on the weekday lineup from XM 165 were Jim Quinn and Bruce Williams, still played live mornings and evenings. The weekend lineup mainly consisted of weekend shows moved over from XM 152, including Bill Handel, Leo Laporte, and Dr. Dean Edell who was also heard on weekdays. Replays of Glenn Beck and Rollye James from XM 165 filled out mid-days and overnights on XM 158. The channel also intended to include WFLZ-FM's "The MJ Morning Show" in mid-days, syndicated by Clear Channel, but it was not launched.

America's Talk also introduced afternoon drive replays of popular weekend shows from itself and channel 165. The replayed shows were hosted by Bill Cunningham (Sunday nights), Gary Sullivan (Saturday mornings), Leo Laporte (Saturday afternoons), Ron Wilson (early Saturday mornings), and Bill Handel (Saturday mornings). The America's Talk lineup stayed the same until March 2008, when the pet talk program [http://www.animalradio.com Animal Radio] was added to Saturday afternoons and replayed Sunday mornings.

On June 10, 2008, The Lifestyle Talk Radio Network announced the cancellation of Bruce Williams' radio program, [cite web |url=http://news.radio-online.com/cgi-bin/$rol.exe/headline_id=n18048 |title=Lifestyle Talk Radio Ousts Williams, Inks Dobbs Show |accessdate=2008-06-12 |date=2008-06-10] which had been a part of XM Radio for five years. The next day, AllAccess.com reported Bruce's show would move to Rocky Mountain Radio, with distribution handled by Global American Broadcasting. America's Talk will continue to air Bruce's program at the same time each night.
