Extreme Talk was a talk radio channel available on iHeartRadio. Owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., Extreme Talk featured terrestrial radio show simulcasts and tape delay broadcasts from across the United States. The station lineup included: syndicated programs Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, Handel on the Law, Jay Mohr Sports, Rover's Morning Glory, and The Schnitt Show; as well as local programs America's Trucking Network, The Alan Cox Show, and The Monsters in the Morning. Advertising sales were handled by Premiere Networks.
From 2001 to 2013, Extreme Talk broadcast over XM Satellite Radio. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, iHeartMedia (as 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 Extreme Talk, ceased broadcast over XM on October 18, 2013.
Extreme Talk launched in 2001 as Extreme XM – a showcase for different morning radio shows from across the country. A lot of shuffling went on, but for the most part the channel kept its theme for a while. Such shows as The Regular Guys, Bubba the Love Sponge,Lewis and Floorwax, Drew Garabo, The Love Doctors, and The Monsters of the Mid-day populated the lineup. As well, Clear Channel Communications added segments of Clear Channel News, which was phased out later during the run. While Extreme XM was for morning shows, Buzz XM picked up the afternoon-evening with a different variety of talk shows. Some of these shows would later appear on Extreme XM.
