P.O.T.U.S. '08


P.O.T.U.S. '08 on XM Channel 130 was a joint venture between XM and public radio/television service C-SPAN and was intended as a public service. Taking its name from the acronym for President of the United States, the station covered the United States 2008 presidential election. It did not carry commercial advertising and also did not require an XM subscription to be heard.[1]


A preview of the channel started in June 2007, and it was launched on September 24, 2007.[2]


P.O.T.U.S. '08 featured news, interviews, speeches, complete debates, polls, fundraising status, and live call-in shows. Bloggers and podcasters provided content for the channel. In addition to current election events, P.O.T.U.S. '08 used C-SPAN's archive to air archival audio of historic moments from past campaigns.


The channel was intended to be temporary, ceasing operations after the Presidential election in November 2008.[1] However, as of November 12, 2008, it merged with Sirius Indie Talk to become "POTUS - Politics of the United States", with a mixture of programming from the two stations.[3]

Nonpartisan programming


P.O.T.U.S promotes itself as "neither left, nor right." Several hosts hold themselves out as independent or nonpartisan in their political viewpoints.[4] Tim Farley describes his show as an "unbiased roundup of the news," Julie Mason provides "unfiltered audio" of political events, Patrick Ferrise hosts the "Raw Feed," which claims to move "beyond the sound-bite," and further describes itself as involving "[n]o pundits, no spin, just the raw feed," and Bruce DuMont offers to "provide a fresh and balanced perspective of national politics." Many shows feature policy analysts, journalists, and academics as guests.
