XM Satellite Radio said it signed a new long-term agreement with Air America Radio. As part of the agreement, XM will be the official satellite radio network for Air America Radio. Beginning in May, XM’s liberal talk channel, America Left, will be renamed Air America Radio. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“XM was a natural fit to be the official satellite radio network of Air America Radio, given its large subscriber base, numerous distribution channels and demonstrated growth,” Air America Radio CEO Danny Goldberg said in a prepared statement. “The quality of XM’s other programming, its Washington, D.C., location and its proximity to the center of our nation’s political workings…made our decision easy.”
