Based on yesterday's announcement that the Grateful Dead Channel will be on Sirius channel 32 starting on Sept. 9th, the question remained of what will become of Sirius Disorder (who currently resides in that slot).

The official word is that Sirius Disorder will be moving to channel 70. As a result, Planet Jazz (who currently resides in the channel 70 slot) will subsequently be retired.

The much anticipated Grateful Dead Channel on Sirius Satellite Radio will be making its debut on September 7th at 12pm ET on Sirius channel 32.

The official debut broadcast - though we heard a sneak peek on Jam_On - kicks off with an extremely rare concert broadcast of the Grateful Deads 1974 performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. This performance will be followed by a special show hosted by Bob Weir - the first by a member of the Grateful Dead on the new channel.

"This is gonna be one fun channel," said the Dead's Bob Weir. "We, the guys in the band, get to be involved as much as we can and we'll make sure it's fun. We want the fans to be involved as well."

The channel will also feature contributions from Grateful Dead expert David Gans, as well as Dead archivist David Lemieux, who will provide a look into the Dead's lush past with daily insights.

There is no official word on what will happen with Sirius Disorder which currently resides in the Channel 32 slot.
