'''ABC News & Talk''' was a news/talk and entertainment radio channel programmed and distributed by [[Cumulus Media Networks|ABC Radio Networks]] for [[satellite radio]] services. It aired on [[XM Satellite Radio]] channel 124, and [[Sirius Satellite Radio]] channel 143 both in the [[United States]] until September 24, 2007. |

The channel also existed on [[Sirius Canada]] until February 2007. Each morning, the channel featured a six-hour news wheel, produced by [[ABC News Radio]]. In the afternoon, hourly newscasts preceded some of ABC Radio's top talk show talent, like Sean Hannity, [[KABC (AM)|KABC]]'s Larry Elder and [[WBAP (AM)|WBAP]]'s Mark Davis. |

==History== |
|||
ABC News & Talk used to host a mid-day talk show exclusively for satellite radio titled ''Live from 125''. The show's host was rotated on a weekly basis so there were several different program personalities. This show was discontinued in 2006. |
|||
In September 2006, [[John Batchelor]] took a leave of absence from the ABC Radio network. [[Mark Levin]] took his place on the ABC News & Talk lineup. Levin's show was broadcast on a 2-hour tape-delay basis, which was assumed to be twofold: to protect Elder's spot in the lineup, since Elder had the slot prior to Levin's arrival, and so Levin can continue to grow his terrestrial affiliate base. |
|||
The channel was programmed by ABC Radio until June 12, [[2007 in radio|2007]], when it was turned over to [[Citadel Broadcasting]] as part of the divestiture by ABC parent [[Disney]] of nearly all of its radio assets. The network was shut down September 24, 2007. |
|||
==Former on-air staff== |
|||
* ABC Satellite News has ceased production, as it was produced exclusively for this channel. |
|||
* [[Sean Hannity]], ABC Radio Networks' (Citadel/Cumulus Media Networks and now [[Westwood One]]'s) most popular host, can be heard live, all three hours, weekdays on XM's [[America Right]] and Sirius' [[SIRIUS Patriot]] Channel 144. |
|||
* [[Mark Levin]] can also be heard live, for 3 hours, weekdays on America Right and SIRIUS Patriot. |
|||
* [[Bob Brinker]] can still be heard live weekends on XM's [[America Right]], but will not be broadcast further on Sirius. |
|||
* [[Mark Davis (talk show host)|Mark Davis]]' show has since been dropped from ABC Radio Networks, reverting to a local show on [[WBAP (AM)|WBAP]], and Davis has reestablished his national presence by becoming a substitute host for various shows, including [[The Rush Limbaugh Show]]. He is now heard on [[KSKY]] since 2012. |
|||
* While The [[Larry Elder]] Show is no longer airing on either satellite provider, he ''has returned'' to his regular local (Los Angeles) drive-time (3-6PM Pacific) time-slot on [[KABC (AM)|KABC]]. His show streams free over the internet during most ''live'' broadcasts, and is podcast for "Elderado" subscribers. |
|||
* The [[Satellite Sisters]] were not picked up by either service, and were dropped from ABC Radio Networks in October. Since then, their show is now an internet–based [[podcast]]. |
|||
* [[Peter Tilden]] will no longer be heard on either satellite provider. He was laid off by KABC in cost-cutting measures in February 2008, but was called back to work (replacing [[Doug McIntyre]]) in October 2009. This version of the show will strictly be local. |
|||
* [[John Batchelor]] returned to radio in 2008. As of 2009, he is heard on [[America's Talk]] on XM, though not yet on Sirius. |
