Sirius XM New Years Celebration
Sirius XM’s Party City channel Sirius ch. 39 and XM ch. 38 is designed to serve as the soundtrack to New Year’s Eve parties around the country and will feature the biggest, upbeat party hits. The channel will launch on Tuesday, December 30 at 12:00 am and will air through Thursday, January 1 at 11:59 pm ET. Sure, they probably could have found a way to use same channel for both services but what fun would that be if it things just made sense?
The special New Year’s Eve programming will also include The History of Howard Stern Act II, a rare behind-the-scenes look at the life, career and achievements of Howard Stern. The History of Howard Stern Act II picks up after Howard’s firing at WNBC in 1985 and takes an in-depth look at the beginning of Howard’s legendary run at K-Rock. I have been tuned in all week and it amazes me to sit back and listen to just how much the show has changed over the years.
On December 31 at 11:00 pm ET on channel Howard 101 Artie Lange will host an exclusive special broadcast of his comedy DVD, It’s the Whiskey Talking. The stand-up set features Lange at his observational and uncensored best, riffing on everything from drinking and gambling to his lackluster movie career.
Sirius XM will also air exclusive live concert broadcasts from all over the country on various music channels featuring some of the most popular acts of the past 40 years, including hip-hop superstar Akon, the timeless American rock band The Beach Boys, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and founding member of The Allman Brothers Band Gregg Allman, New Jersey rock and roll legend Southside Johnny, multi-platinum duo Hall & Oates and Grammy Award-winning bluegrass band Del McCoury Band.
There truly is so much going on that Sirius XM doesn’t even bother to tell us where we can find these “various channels” so that we can listen to these “exclusive live concert broadcasts.” Maybe they are so exclusive that we aren’t supposed to be able to find them?

So exclusive they put it on a press release. Listing all the channels and times.
Where in that press release does it say what channels/times the “exclusive live concerts” will be on? I have read it twice but, I could be missing it.

Various music channels is all I see.
Guess we will have to play with the dial.
Which was my point to begin with. I knew it wasn’t there but Marty had to jump in without fact checking first. I love when people go out of there way to make me look dumb and fail.
LOL!!! Good one Charles!!
Everyone on this board, have a Happy New Year!!!
Man I will be glad when this year is over, 2008, the year of the turd!
Seems to answer where general programs are, and if i was into Akon I would have been listening to The Heat and known he was there, or that Beach Boys were on 60s on 6 or Allman Brothers were on Deep Tracks.
Del McCoury Band is on Bluegrass. Hall and Oates is on the Blend.
I guess Charles the listed only various channels but this was not too hard to find.
I may have to go with the Allman Brothers.
No, it doesn’t answer where any of the live exclusive concerts will be aired.
Also, I didn’t list “various channels” that was the Sirius XM press release that said “various channels.”
If I have to explain the joke it isn’t funny. The reason I wrote that in the article was because Sirius XM did a lousy job of telling people what channels the specials were on. Scratch that, they didn’t do a lousy job, they didn’t tell us at all.
Not only that but there was no mention on the special holiday page.
“Del McCoury Band is on Bluegrass. Hall and Oates is on the Blend.”
It does not say that in the release.
“I guess Charles the listed only various channels but this was not too hard to find.”
So, subscribers should just have to go out and do their own leg work? Why do they even bother to do press releases then? They should just have specials and switch up the channels and never tell anyone… I mean based on what you are saying, subscribers will figure it out themselves eventually. Kill the PR department, I see cost savings!
Funny that they mention what channels Howard and Artie specials are on, even though they could only be on 2 possible channels.
That makes sense. I guess they tried to make up for it,the lastest email blast, for music. listed some of those concerts.
I noticed that as well. I post the lineups here: https://siriusbuzz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1230
Don’t drink and drive this New Year’s Eve! It’s a good idea to stay home and listen to your Sirius/XM radio…
The SIRIUS website doesn’t say much about it. They could do a lot better job with the website. Maybe when ‘RADIO WORLD’ buys SIRIUS XM it will get better. Did you see a real far out idea on their website. It made sense to me. Our first buyout offer!!
Saw that this morning. Hostile takeover!!! Now that would be hilarious, as a shareholder I would be happy, as a sub, I don’t know. Skimmed the article and the word, (commercials) seem to pop up a lot.
Well..a lot of people thought that once the pps was near nothing, the BK or Mel selling the company would happen or both.
SRK and SCRF you guys might be right on the money!!
Radio World..I don’t know if that would fly with the FCC. The interesting point they made was that they would add commercials in a heart beat. That is where Google Yahoo etc have made the money and it would be free and not sub based.Interesting to see how other mangement types would run SiriusXM if they had control over it.
I think some thought as Mel said he would love to take the company private.Have to wait to see if some of his cronies try to make that happen before or after they BK SiriusXM.
In any event, things do not look good. I agree with Steve O, lets see the Feb note serviced and the May and Dec at a reasonable rate. But that does not seem likely with no one wanting to lend.
I hope SiriuusXM can pull this stock from the brink of doom.
To all of the round table, Have a Happpy New Year!!! I have enjoyed reading all the posts the last year.
Thanks Tyler and Crew!!!
I wish we were all planning to meet in Vegas or Cancun because the stock was at $10.00 or $15.00 a share to party.

I am in no mood to celebrate. I would have to get really drunk, win the lottery, and play nude twister with Jessica Alba all night long before my mood changes. This stock has busted my balls; I can’t even breathe, much less start reveling like an imbecil!
You want to see me celebrate? Hand me a newspaper with the headline “Sirius/XM pays off all their debt…. Auto sales through the roof!!! I’ll party so hard that I’ll make P Diddy look like Clay Aiken.
Or Kate Beckinsale, 🙂
Hey Dread,
Or both – now that’s cause for celebration!
NICE!!!
dread,
Obviously you are a man of exquisite taste, and a bit of a cad. In fact, I would put you in the category of “scoundrel”. And while I don’t condone your remarks, I do admire them greatly!
I don’t really think this is that much off topic – I am simply trying to illustrate how senseless it is to be in a festive mood during these most difficult of times. So in the spirit of addressing what men everywhere are really thinking about, try this on for size – Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, and…….. Megan Fox!
Scoundrel? I like it!!!
I agree, not much if anything to celebrate this year, other than its over.
I have excepted my 15k lose in this stock, and am just trying to stay positive.
I enjoy your rants, and completely understand being in the same sinking ship. IF and its a big IF, but, if we can get past May, without a R/S I think we will be OK. Just have to keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting. It is getting really old, but I have my health, and am not crippled, so putting a positive spin on this mess, is my way of coping.
Megan Fox!!! Oh yeah!!
We need a red head in there, and a blonde, I will go with Jewel Staite for the red head, you can pick the blonde. 🙂
vaporgold,
I would like nothing better than to party & celebrate with you and all of our “round table friends”.
If this dog ever rises from the ashes, I am definitely in! I have also enjoyed reading each and every post, and I love the passion and the persistence that our little circle of friends display – comment after comment.
Despite the many death knells offered mostly by the many anonymous “plants”, I can say from experience that you can never give up, and you never know what tomorrow may bring. Let’s just keep the faith, and continue to share opinions and ideas into the new year. Sirius/Xm is down, but not out….. not yet. With a couple of breaks here and there, desperation could turn to restoration. Stay strong, my good friends!
Steve
Your attitude is what all the SIRI stockholders should have!!! Hoping WE ALL have a Prosperous and Healthy New Year in ’09.
dread,
I had to look up Ms. Staite. All I can say is “Come to Papa, baby!” You know how to pick em, you.. you…rascal you! After much deliberation and scrutinizing, I came up with a blonde that I hope meets your standards. Go to SI.com and check out Tori Praver. I think she will suffice as the final fantasy twister chick.
Stay positive, and don’t give up hope. If you get really down – and we all do from time to time – just think about our TWISTER UBER VIXENS !
Jewel Staite!!! Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!!!
HOLY !@%&^!! Excellent pick Steve-O!!
Believe me, my standards are not high, as long as the babe doesn’t look like Mel, I am OK.
Try and enjoy the New Years celebration Steve-O!! Life is to short, not to enjoy!!
Yeah, we put together the best naked, hot, babe, twister, team for sure!!!
I will see you in 09!!! Be well brother!!
Pictures Please!!!!!!!!!! LOL.
Happy New Year to everyone on the “roundtable” as vapor calls it.
Socal
Happy New year Socal!!!
Sorry no pics here, just have to google for them.
Another year is done, and the worst since 1931, good riddance to 08!!!
Looks like 09 will be boom or bust, guess we will see if banks start lending again, and get that credit flowing. Volume on SIRI stunk today, but the VIX fell below 40, so we will see if that means anything going into the new year.Or just another blip caused by cash on the side lines.
Does anyone here have a link for the .DRY index? (dry bulk shipping) Or whatever it is.
I can’t seem to find it, thanks in advance if someone has that chart!!
Oh, and welcome to the twilight zone Sworntofun!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!!!! And be safe out there!!
I just want to say Hello to you guys. “Hello” I have been reading all of your posts for a while now and feel like I am getting to know who’s who.. I am also in for the long haul. I just want to say thanks for the education and ideas you all have provided to think about and it helps. Now I wished I went to the meeting, maybe I could of met some of you personally. I thought it would of been to crowded if I only knew only 150 people showed up I would of made it! I did vote by proxy online. I voted No (dont now why just thought thats what most of you wanted). You all seem very cool! Have a Happy New Year and Lets all hope for the best for 2009 and after Sirius turns around I want to be at the party….Talk to you all next year!!!
