Tom Petty died October 2, 2017. Can't SiriusXM find a better name for his program than the now-morbid Buried Treasure?

Three 'new' episodes of Tom Petty's Buried Treasure show to premiere on SiriusXM
Los Angeles Times, Oct 18 2018 5:00 AMs

Long before Tom Petty became one of rock’s biggest stars, he was one of the music’s biggest fans, a characteristic that came to the fore in recent years on his weekly satellite radio show Tom Petty’s Buried Treasure on SiriusXM Channnel 31. Fans of the program will get a belated gift from the musician in the form of three "new" episodes, which Petty recorded before he died last year at age 66. In the episodes, Petty discusses the differences between the US and UK versions of early Beatles albums, his love of Chuck Berry and his thoughts on the Monkees and lead singer Micky Dolenz, among other wide-ranging topics.

The episodes were recorded in November 2016, ahead of a 40th anniversary tour, and rediscovered in December by Petty’s longtime recording engineer Ryan Ulyate. The first episode is scheduled to premiere at 2 PM Pacific time Saturday, October 20 on Tom Petty Radio, SiriusXM Channel 31. The second and third will premiere in the same time slot on November 19 and December 17. The shows will be repeated throughout each month.

SiriusXM adds 100+ new streaming playlists

The 100+ new "Xtra Channels" are gradually being rolled out to different internet devices and are currently available on the SiriusXM website and its iOS and Android apps.

Some of the playlists not attached to other channels include Prom Radio, '90s Rock & Hip-Hop Mash Up, Yoga, ChillHop and Cloud Rap.

This story was on AllAccess.com yesterday -- and I should have posted it yesterday but I didn't see it until today. Does saying "Better late than never" sound trite?
