America's Talk is a talk radio channel available exclusively on iHeartRadio. Owned by Clear Channel Broadcasting, Inc., America's Talk features terrestrial radio show simulcasts and tape delay broadcasts from across the United States. Advertising sales are handled by Premiere Networks.
From 2007 to 2013, America's Talk was one of eleven Clear Channel stations broadcast over XM Satellite Radio. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, Clear Channel sold off its ownership stake in Sirius XM Radio. As a result of the sale, nine of Clear Channel's eleven XM stations, including America's Talk, ceased broadcast over XM Satellite Radio on October 18, 2013.
America's Talk launched on November 19, a week delayed after November 12. It included a weekday lineup consisting of the new-to-XM Sally Jessy Raphael 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.
