Sirius Satellite Elvis Radio Third Anniversary Celebration kicks off live from Graceland July 1st starting at 2pm ET.

At the end of the broadcast, Cohen will be joined by Elvis Presley Enterprises CEO Jack Soden, to present a U.S. Congressional Proclamation declaring July 1st 'Elvis Radio Day' to life-long Elvis friend and Sirius Satellite Radio LIVE from Graceland host George Klein.

Legendary Cleveland radio disc jockey Larry Morrow has reportedly signed a one-year contract with Sirius Satellite Radio to broadcast live from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, tentatively starting June 19, though that date may be delayed.

The show, unofficially entitled "Coast to Coast With Larry Morrow," will feature music from the mid-'50s to early '60s, as well as feature interviews with artists of the generation. "Coast to Coast With Larry Morrow" will broadcast Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3pm to 7pm on Sirius Gold (ch 5).

A Rock Hall spokesman said he wasn't prepared to confirm the announcement and Sirius has not officially confirmed it either.

Morrow, 69, was inducted into the Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1995 and was designated "Mr. Cleveland" in 1979 by then-Mayor George Voinovich. He left radio in 2000, but said that he's returning to the air because he missed the audience.

"When you've spent as much time on the air as long as I have," he said, "there's a broadcast anchor attached to your leg."

Sirius Satellite Radio has signed on Grammy Award winner Steve Earle to host his own show, on Outlaw Country (ch 63).

"The Steve Earle Show: Hard Core Troubadour Radio," airs on Saturday evenings at 8pm, and is of course hosted by Earle himself - who is seen by many as a savior of country music.

An admitted drug user, Earle produced his first Grammy Award nominated album, "Train A Comin," in 1996 after a jail term. He was also the subject of "Just an American Boy," a documentary about Earle's life struggles. Earle also received a Grammy Award for the album "The Revolution Starts Now" in 2005.

Steve Van Zandt, creator of Outlaw Country, said, "I created Outlaw Country because too many important artists were being ignored by contemporary mainstream country radio and not fitting into the existing, 'accepted' formats. One of the artists I would always use as a prime example was Steve Earle.

"He will fit right in with the rest of our rogues, renegades, and roustabouts."

Encore broadcasts of Earle's show air Sundays at 1am ET then later again on Sundays at 9am ET and again on Mondays at midnight ET.
