message: Shouldn't John Batchelor be listed as  Persian American?  His mother was an Iranian national.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.146.74.221 (talk) 22:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it just me or didn't this show go by the name "Batchelor and Alexander" for a while surely its worth a mention...
Superb radio show BTW.
Cleaned it up a little, added links to a couple unlinked topics of interest, and added a citation needed to the 'ABC News asked Batchelor...' part - hadn't heard that before, and it would be a good idea to be able to verify that.  Anyone? Chris Berry 04:08, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Batchelor and Alexander" moniker? 

message: So, on June 12th, an anonymous editor said that syndication would end in September.  Anyone know what this is all about?  I'm going to ask for a citation.  User:Ke4djt 03:25 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I've deleted it.  When I or another editor has some verification, it can go back in. patsw 20:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think verification has come. It also sounds like the rumors below are rumors. Mrdthree 10:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  National syndication ending 

message: Article now mentions that "some bloggers report that Batchelor is now back on XM".  Is there any way to get this pinned down a little more accurately than this?  I have an XM radio that's been little used of late--but I'd dig it out and get it hooked up to my antenna if I knew for sure that the show was back.
Anybody have a channel and time for this?

I believe "some bloggers" are looking at obsolete info.  According to John Batchelor's web page, he is still not on the air. patsw 13:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Back on XM? 

message: Enough time, I believe, has passed to modify the article's grammatical tense from present to past with respect to his occupation as talk show host.  Consensus? patsw 13:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. He was replaced by a 13-hour delayed re-broadcast of the Laura Ingram show on WABC. What's that about?--Lance talk 21:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: If there's no mention of Batchelor's affiliation in 2006 or 2007 with the Hoover Institution here, why is it referenced in the article? patsw 03:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hoover Institution? 

message: If and when Batchelor gets a show, it should be added.  The speculation from September 2006 to May 2007 about that possibility doesn't belong in the article. patsw 02:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed speculation about his return 

message: Aaron Klein appeared on the John Bachelor show this evening and broke news about Palestinian statehood negotiators bypassing negotiations with Israel and going directly to the UN to request statehood along the 1967 lines, with Obama administration approval about 2 weeks previously for doing so generally.  (Not in so many words--that's just my recollection of what I heard.) Later that evening ABC News had the same story Klein broke.  Now this is just happening, so I do not expect it on the this or the Aaron Klein page this minute, but I wanted to note I think it is very significant, Palestine getting statehood is very significant, and Aaron Klein broke that news on the John Batchelor show, which itself breaks news precisely because of the many contacts with whom Batchelor speaks, including Klein. Reliable sources are sure to follow, including WorldNetDaily. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 04:20, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mistaken for Emerson 

message: The section on “Show cancellation and subsequent return” says
:On Monday, August 25, 2006, Batchelor announced on air that his last show on ABC Radio Network would be on September 1, that Friday.
But August 25 and September 1 are seven days apart, so they can’t be a Monday and a Friday. August 25, 2006 was actually a Friday, so presumably this should read either “Friday, August 25” or “Monday, August 28.” I don’t know which is correct, but it can’t be right as is.
