Extreme Talk is a talk radio
channel on XM
channel 165, featuring terrestrial show simulcasts from across the United States
. It is one of the oldest talk channels on XM, formerly known as Extreme XM. Until 2005, this channel carried an xL designation.
Extreme Talk is one of three talk channels produced by Clear Channel Communications
exclusively for XM Radio, the others being Talk Radio 165
and America's Talk
. The channel is programmed out of Cincinnati, Ohio
, and was programmed by Sean Compton
until April 1, 2008. Advertising sales are handled by Premiere Radio Networks
. As of April 2009, the channel has a new logo made up of "Extreme" in red, "Talk" in blue and a megaphone to the left of the words.
(Atlanta, Georgia
), Bubba the Love Sponge
(Tampa, Florida
), Lewis and Floorwax
(Colorado
), Drew Garabo (Orlando, Florida
), Jamie and Danny
(Los Angeles, California
), The Love Doctors
(West Palm Beach, Florida
) and The Monsters of the Mid-day (Orlando, Florida
) 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.
. The Love Doctors
also soon fell off the schedule as Regular Guys
slid into graveyard shift, allowing Bubba the Love Sponge
to have complete control over morning drive. "Guys" Larry and Eric weren't happy about this, and badmouthed XM and the fact that they weren't paid by XM for the exposure. Having shot themselves in the foot, The Regular Guys were soon wiped clean off the XM dial. While a number of the shows on Extreme were now live, the quality still varied among listeners from show to show. Monsters, Philips, and Drew were all out of one Orlando station, and Bubba was out of nearby Tampa.
2004 came, and with it came the demise of Buzz XM, as Clear Channel took it in a different direction by turning it into a conservative talk channel to compliment XM's new America Left
liberal talk channel. Los Angeles' David Lawrence
was added into late night shift on Extreme and Los Angeles' Phil Hendrie
was moved to evenings, bouncing Drew Garabo off the lineup. With the addition of shows that weren't as "extreme," many considered why the channel was still even called Extreme XM. After the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime controversy, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) pressure came hard and fast, and an Extreme staple since day one, Bubba the Love Sponge
, was fined for an on-air obscenity incident and subsequently fired by Clear Channel. Bubba became the poster child of the FCC, explaining to all jocks what happens when you get out of line. For a while, Extreme had to run replays of nighttime shows in the morning slot as Bubba was no longer on the air. Soon enough, Clear Channel stations dropped Howard Stern's show after another FCC fine. One of the stations fined was WTKS-FM
in Orlando, carrier of Extreme's Monsters and Philips Phile. With Howard gone, the Monsters were moved into morning drive on all affiliates, and a new show emerged on both WTKS-FM and Extreme XM: The Shannon Burke Show. At the same time, former Extreme show The Regular Guys were yet another casualty of the FCC and Clear Channel on their home station WKLS.
2005 came, and more changes along with it. First off, ESPN
's Tony Kornheiser
was to begin a new late-morning show out of Washington, D.C.
, and Extreme had it ready for debut. In addition, G. Gordon Liddy
also announced a new show coming on at the same time. Extreme planned to have both shows added to the lineup, both on tape delay, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. respectively. This, of course, meant the end of Shannon Burke on the lineup. Shannon didn't seem too happy, and bashed XM's talk show Opie and Anthony
in the process, resulting in a hoarde of O&A listeners pummeling Burke's program for 2 days. Shannon never did return, and he continues to broadcast out of WTKS-FM in Orlando. Extreme, albeit still less extreme, was beginning to branch out to other cities once again.
In mid-2005, another conflict came along between The Philips Phile
and XM's own Opie and Anthony
, to which O&A accused Philips of ripping off a bit, sending listeners to call his show in the process. Philips responded with claims such as that he was the most listened to show on XM (not possible because XM does not have ratings), that Opie and Anthony had to pay to be on XM, and other comments that only caused Opie and Anthony listeners (called The Pests
) to take over the phone lines for another week. Weeks later, listeners of O&A bought a billboard close to the WTKS-FM station saying in yellow letters: "Mr. Philips, The Pests Win, You Lose! Good day, sir!" After this, the battle between the 2 shows ended.
In late 2005, Extreme began their first original show: Left Jab
, which is only one hour long and airs Sunday mornings at 9 a.m.. Despite the minuscule show and invaluable timeslot, Extreme gave it plenty of promotion. Soon, Clear Channel announced the hiring of former Cox Radio
show Lex and Terry
, who Clear Channel promised to add to many more stations. One of which was Extreme. Lex and Terry debuted, albeit truncated and tape delayed, on Extreme in November taking G. Gordon Liddy's slot, who was moved to Ask! at a live time. With XM's addition of the Fox News Talk
channel, some extra space was available on Ask! and Air America Radio
for a couple shows to occupy. On weekends from 2005 to 2006, Extreme was home to Indy Car Racing. In honor of this, XM introduced the Honda Civic Si Extreme concept car at the 2005 Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association show, named after the channel. As of March 2006, IRL racing has been relegated to its own channel on XM145 in the Sports category. Races are also covered on sister channel America Right
.
Tony Kornheiser
also announced in Spring 06 that he would be voluntarily leaving his radio show (possibly temporary) to concentrate on his Monday Night Football
position at ESPN
. As a result, his show was put on hiatus, and lineups shuffled accordingly. At the same time, Extreme XM found this as a convenient opportunity to conduct another lineup shuffle.
On April 26, 2006, evening talker Phil Hendrie
surprised the radio world by announcing his retirement. Phil claimed that he could no longer do his show under the business of terrestrial radio, and that were he to return to the radio medium, it would be a satellite broadcast. Phil also wanted to concentrate on his character acting for television, including the TV series Teachers
, of which he plays a billed role in. Phil announced that his final broadcast of his radio show would be June 23, 2006. He was given well wishes by people including Matt Groening
, Ann Coulter
, and Howard Stern
.
Extreme XM got yet another big lineup sweeping in May 2006. Nighttime talkers John and Jeff
went off the XM radio platform, and David Lawrence
was moved to a tape-delayed slot on XM's Open Road
channel (keep in mind Lawrence once had his own channel with replays all day). Now Extreme XM has become 100% Clear Channel content. The departure of Tony Kornheiser allowed Extreme to give Lex and Terry back the hour that they normally lose, as well as an additional hour (for whatever reason, since The Philips Phile is still missing one hour). Lex and Terry therefore moved from 1-4 p.m. to 11-4 p.m., still tape delayed. The show is also replayed in place of John and Jeff. A new addition to the channel was The Schnitt Show, hosted by Todd Schnitt
out of WFLA
in Tampa, Florida
. The show is currently on tape delay from 7-10 p.m., while Phil Hendrie was moved to a live timeslot (albeit too little too late) from 10 p.m.-1 a.m.. Schnitt claims that his show will move to a live timeslot down the road, and with Phil Hendrie's retirement, another lineup shuffle is expected in the early summer. On May 22, the afternoons were shuffled around as Schnitt was moved to 4 p.m., ending the 3-year run of The Philips Phile on XM Radio. In the 7-10 PM slot, the station added an encore of Glenn Beck
's mid-morning program, which can also be heard on Talk Radio 165
. Following in Glenn Beck's steps was Rollye James
, which took the Lex and Terry replay spot from 1-6 a.m. Upon the retiring of Phil Hendrie, a replay of The Schnitt Show was added into the 10-1 timeslot, making the Monsters, Lex and Terry, and Schnitt the only 3 unique shows to the channel. In late August 2006, Philips Phile returned to the lineup (albeit on tape delay), while Schnitt was moved later to support the arrival of Ed Schultz, whose show was truncated to an hour. Syndicated hosts Bill Handel
and Jesse Jackson
were moved off their original home, Talk Radio 165
, onto Extreme. The shows, once taped on 165, now run live on 152.
Beginning Monday October 2, USA Radio Network had their news coverage dropped in favor of news from 700 WLW
and Fox Sports Radio
's "Fox Sports Report." The :30 news portions were produced by Clear Channel Worldwide News, but have since been taken over by WLW News. Ed Schultz moved to mid-days nationally in late 2006, and beginning February 19, 2007, the show will move to noon live on XM channel 167. Right now, all weekday shows on channel 152 are tape delayed, except for the Monsters.
The week of February 26, 2007 featured more changes to Extreme's lineup, including the move of The Schnitt Show to a live timeslot. Long-running Monsters in the Morning had their show truncated to 4 hours. Weekend programming also got a modification, as the newly syndicated series Leo Laporte: The Tech Guy
, from Premiere Radio Networks
, was added to the Extreme weekend lineup. Dr. Dean Edell has since returned to a nightly timeslot at 10 p.m. The 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. timeslot on weeknights featured The Power Hour, a brokered talk show that began on the channel in March 2007. The show ran on the channel until July 13, 2007, as they could no longer afford the timeslot.
on XM 158, which will begin on November 12. With this, it was also announced that weekend and weeknight programs on Extreme that are not The Monsters, Lex and Terry, The Schnitt Show, The Philips Phile, Jesse Jackson, or The Bald Truth would be moving to the new channel. On November 19, 2007, the new channel was launched, leaving Extreme with only six shows. Four of these shows consume the vast majority of the schedule.
, a staple of XM's overnight programming since 2001, was brought to Extreme Talk in a live time slot (7 days per week) after moving from channel 173 (the simulcast of ATN's flagship station, WLW
, which was dropped by the XM service). The show was added March 2009. Since Extreme XM was only playing repeats at that time, no programs were dropped on Extreme XM to make way for the move. America's Trucking Network has since moved to America's Talk
, replaced by an overnight replay of The Bob & Tom Show

Purging and relocating
As part of the arbitration settlement between Clear Channel and XM Radio, XM decided to move all of Clear Channel's programming on the platform into Clear Channel's own facilities instead of having it programmed via XM. This meant that the 9 channels that Clear Channel programs on XM would be engineered directly by the company and not by XM. Since the move, the channel has had infrequent technical difficulties.On April 26, 2006, evening talker Phil Hendrie
