Jimmy Buffett to Bring Radio Margaritaville Exclusively to SIRIUS Satellite Radio
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050510/sftu084.html?.v=11

Jimmy Buffett and Sirius Satellite Radio today announced an agreement to present a Radio Margaritaville music channel exclusively for SIRIUS subscribers. The new 24-hour channel, featuring a wide variety of music, live broadcasts of Buffett's concerts and other unique programs, will debut this summer.

"I first listened to SIRIUS' incredible programming in my car and my boat," said Jimmy Buffett. "We designed Radio Margaritaville after the old pirate radio stations that sat offshore and played what they wanted. When I saw how SIRIUS is changing the way radio is being heard, I welcomed the opportunity for Radio Margaritaville to join them."

You access it the same way you do Radio Margaritaville right now, no equipment needed other than a computer and a set of speakers. XM streams for free too. It's just a way for people to sample either service before they subscribe.

since Tiki Bar or some other mod deleted my post instead of editing it, let me say that in a more polite and conservative manner

"oh fudge!

Seriously! JB mentioned it at the Atlanta show in 2003. It certainly took a long time to sign that deal.

I do wonder if they will still play the concerts.

Does this mean that the live broadcast will have better sound quality when played on Sirius? Or will the concerts still have that flat sound to them?

I see RM is replacing the Vacation station...thats my favorite station...I hope it gets rid of UB40, Elivis island music, the West Cost (Beach Boys, etc)...and the Hawaiian stuff and sticks to Buffett, Florida, and the Caribean mon.
