SIRIUS Backstage

Sirius and NPR announced earlier today that they have created a new channel, only available on Sirius Internet Radio, that collects select NPR programming and makes it available to SIR subscribers. http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/Page&c=Channel&cid=1186052421026

Sirius describes the channel as follows…

NPR SIR-1 offers in-depth news, features, and entertainment produced and assembled by NPR for SIRIUS Internet Radio. Featuring public radio favorites like Talk of the Nation, Day to Day, Marketplace and the Diane Rehm Show as well as new productions from independent producers and public radio stations nationwide.

This is a great add for users of wi-fi enabled radios like the Stilletto (although early reports are some are having trouble getting it on the Stilletto).

Thanks to member, dlnester for the find!!

Third annual broadcast tour will feature live on-site broadcasts from all 32 NFL team training camps

SIRIUS Satellite Radio is the Official Satellite Radio Partner of the National Football League, and the third annual SIRIUS NFL Radio Training Camp Tour has already kicked off on July 26, covering all 32 NFL team camps leading up to the start of the 2007 NFL season.

SIRIUS NFL Radio hosts will be broadcasting live from all 32 NFL training camp sites around the country from July 26 to August 16, giving you, the listeners, inside looks at the progress of each team as they prepare for the coming season, analyzing, interviewing players and examining rosters. All shows air exclusively on SIRIUS NFL Radio channel 124.

The show was kicked off Thursday, July 26, (So I’m a little late - sorry) as Vic Carucci and Gil Brandt hosted the tour’s kickoff show live from the Dallas Cowboys training camp at the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX.

In addition to Brandt, other SIRIUS NFL hosts will be returning to the training camps where they once wore the uniform. On July 30, former Chicago QB Jim Miller will be on the sidelines of the Bears training camp and on August 1, former Cincinnati DB Solomon Wilcots returns to the Bengals camp. A full schedule detailing show times, hosts and locations appears below.
