'Dr. Laura' headed to Sirius XM in January

Dr. Laura Schlessinger will have a new home in January — Sirius XM. The syndicated radio show host, who said in August that she would not be renewing her contract at the end of 2010 with Talk Radio Network because she wanted to “regain my First Amendment rights” after being criticized for using the N-word multiple times with a caller, will continue her 30-plus year career exclusively with Sirius. On the expanded and uncensored Dr. Laura, listeners will be able to hear her “preach, teach and nag” as she offers them advice. She’ll also interview guests.

    When will these idiots learn that the right to free speech does not mean the right to say whatever you want with no consequences. She’s not in jail. She behaved poorly on air and advertisers pulled out. That’s called capitalism. The free market spoke, and they didn’t want her anymore. Boo hoo. Now let’s play the victim card. She’s not even a real doctor (of any kind) – why do people care what she thinks?

    Do I need to cancel my Sirius subscription?

    Thank God I have the mostly music package…

    • deedee

      “music package”? no such thing

      • imahrtbrkbeat

        Not following, but okay…but there is such a thing. And I have it. Because it’s what they offered me…so, again, not sure what you’re saying.

        Dish Network offers a subscription with only music channels, if that’s what you mean. It’s what I have.

    This woman spews hate. She is not a ‘Dr of Psychology’ and is nothing but a hateful, bitter shrew of a woman. Sirius you disappoint me.

      She’s actually has the college-degree of a gym teacher.

  • UGH

    haha.
    I remember when she made a big stink with going out of her way not to accept a deal with another network because Howard Stern was on the same one.
    Maybe Howard didn’t resign?

    Dr. Laura has been on SiriusXM for a while now, they played her regular show on one of the talk channels. She will not be “new” to Sirius. She’s just playing that this is a big change.

    If you’ve ever listened to her . . . shocking! She is mean and condescending to everyone.

    She’s kept me awake on several late-night drives. Laughing so hard at her and the idiots who call in and expect good advice.
