Channel 167 originally started out as America Left, a channel dedicated to liberal talk radio to 'compliment' the reformatted XM 166, America Right. It launched on March 31, 2004, and the lineup included hosts like Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Al Franken, Marty Kaplan, Jeanene Garofalo, Alan Colmes, Lizz Winstead and Chuck D. At the time, both Sirius and XM had liberal talk channels featuring talent from Air America Radio. The lineup was constant for over a year. One complaint often voiced was that two afternoon drive hosts, Ed Schultz and Randi Rhodes, each had an hour of their shows cut off to keep both shows on and live.
Check definition and word usage in the paragraph. I believe the intent of the author was "complement", not "compliment" to describe something that occupies the space not occupied by its opposite.
Not liberal
editAir America is not, and has no intention of being, a liberal station. From their own statements ""We want to talk to everyone and help everyone make the right choice." The advertising statements of "No Commie speak here", and "America's Progressive Talk" has essentially alienated the two largest groups of America's "political Left", the Socialist Party and the Communist Party while focusing on the "progressive" (centrist) democratic audience.
