I thought this Press Release was about Don Imus when I first looked at it. Fred Imus, brother of Don Imus, has been given a 4 hour show Saturday mornings on Outlaw Country // 63. Fred’s Trailer Park Bash begins May 6 at 6am ET. He will broadcast his show from his trailer in Tucson, Arizona.

Outlaw Country creator “Little Steven” Van Zandt seems excited to have Imus as part of the talent on the channel. “Most sports fans know Fred Imus for his good looks, but for us he’s a triple threat,” said Van Zandt. “First, trailer park fans across the country finally have a representative they can be proud of here on SIRIUS; second, his presence will raise the average IQ of our jocks 25 points; and third, I expect our female listenership to go up by 50% within weeks.”

See next post for the press release.

Here are some photos from the show. I was there Friday, the first day the show was open to the public. I had a great time. Sirius and XM were everywhere. It was a nice thing to see. I took more pics of the radios, etc…, they are here.

Here is the Sirius booth that was selling their product. They are giving $20 off at the show with a new subscription.

Another one….

The Sirius booth, and yes, it’s in the free part of the show!!

Sirius will be standard in every Kia vehicle, starting in 2008 for MY2009 Kias. The agreement goes through 2014, with an option to extend it three more years to 2017. It should be noted that this is an odd development, given that Hyundai owns Kia, yet is exclusive with XM.
