SiriusXM Patriot is a conservative talk radio channel on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 125 and XM Satellite Radio channel 125 [1]. The channel features exclusive hosts such as Cam & Company from NRANews.com, David Webb, and Andrew Wilkow. It also features popular syndicated programs including Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin. The station is the result of a merger between former channels SIRIUS Patriot and America Right. Hourly news updates (aired at the top of each programming hour) are produced by Townhall.
SIRIUS Patriot was initially launched in July 2004 as a companion to the now defunct SIRIUS Right, which was dropped in 2006 in favor of the Fox News Talk channel. Patriot launched with a lineup including Geoff Metcalf, Laura Ingraham, Bob Dornan, Cam Edwards, Joseph Farah’s Worldnet Daily, Michael Reagan, and The Pentagon Channel overnights. The following year, Sirius added exclusive hosts Mike Church to late mornings and Andrew Wilkow to afternoons. Cam & Company was moved to nights.
In 2006 and 2007, the Patriot lineup underwent many changes as conservative talk channels SIRIUS Right and ABC News & Talk were deleted. The channel added Bill Bennett's Morning in America program to mornings after Sirius Right was removed. Patriot absorbed both Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, moving Andrew Wilkow to midday and eventually removing Michael Reagan from the lineup.
