XM launches presidential election channel

XM Radio has launched POTUS ’08, a channel dedicated to the 2008 presidential election. (POTUS, of course, stands for President Of The United States.) It’s an XM/C-SPAN partnership and comes as XM and Sirius are trying to get Washington’s approval for a merger. It’s also a “free” XM channel, meaning you can get it if you have an XM receiver but don’t pay for a subscription, which Broadcasting and Cable correctly writes “seems a fairly unlikely scenario.”
