XM announced earlier this month that it will launch "GRAMMY Radio," a dedicated channel providing coverage of GRAMMY Week events. GRAMMY Radio will air on XM LIVE (XM 200) starting Feb. 9 through Feb. 11, the evening of the 49th Annual GRAMMY(R) Awards, featuring a mix of exclusive broadcast coverage of GRAMMY Week events along with every GRAMMY nominated song and artist. This dedicated channel is part of XM's multi-year programming and marketing partnership with The Recording Academy(R).
GRAMMY Radio will feature the first live broadcast of this year's pre-telecast GRAMMY Awards, as well as red-carpet interviews from the GRAMMYAwards and broadcasts of performances by a "who's who" of superstar artists at the most exclusive events during GRAMMY Week. These include MusiCares(TM) Person of the Year Tribute honoring music legend Don Henley and the Lifetime Achievement and Trustee Awards Ceremony honoring Joan Baez, Booker T. & The MG's, Maria Callas, Ornette Coleman, the Doors, the Grateful Dead, Bob Wills and more, among other GRAMMY Week events.
"GRAMMY Radio will provide millions of XM subscribers the closest thing to red-carpet access and front-row seats at the music industry's most exclusive events, traditionally reserved only for music industry V.I.P.s," said Eric Logan, executive vice president of programming for XM Satellite Radio. "XM is the ideal platform to bring comprehensive coverage of GRAMMY Week events to the millions of music fans who listen to XM."
