Bruce Morrow, aka "Cousin Brucie," has renewed with Sirius in an exclusive multi-year deal.

Brucie will continue to host "Cousin Brucie's Saturday Night Party" on Saturdays from 8pm to 12-midnight ET on Sirius' 60s Vibrations (ch 6). He will also host "Rockin' with the Cuz," Wednesdays from 5pm to 9pm ET on the same channel.

In addition, Sirius will air special live broadcasts from events in New York City and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame throughout the year.

Brucie will also host "Cousin Brucie's Music and Memories" which features Brucie discussing the music and events of the early days of rock and roll. These mini-audio documentaries will air throughout the day on 60s Vibrations and Sirius Gold (ch 5).

Sirius' New York traffic channel will also feature Brucie as the host of the "New York Minute" where he'll highlight local New York events and fun facts.

Cousin Brucie joined Sirius back in the summer of 2005.

Sirius host Andrew Wilkow and Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay are joining forces for a special campus event at George Washington University this Wednesday, September 26th, 8pm ET.

Presented by The George Washington University College Republicans, the event is located at GW University's Elliott School of International Affairs, 1957 E Street, room 113.

At the event, Tom DeLay and "The Wilkow Majority" host Andrew Wilkow will discuss topics ranging from the current state of politics, to the election, health care, welfare, immigration and global warming, and take questions from the audience.

Immediately following the event there will be an on-site booksigning for Tom DeLay's No Retreat, No Surrender: One American's Fight. Wilkow and DeLay are speaking at college campuses across the country as part of their coverage of the 2008 presidential election, portions of which will be broadcast on Sirius.

"The Wilkow Majority" airs live weekdays from 12 - 3pm ET on Sirius Patriot (ch 144).

Bubba The Love Sponge's contract with Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc. is coming up for renewal in December/January, and it's long been known that the negotiations between the two parties have not been going too well.

A recent blog post by Bubba seems to indicate that the grumblings about being underpaid and underappreciated by Sirius are coming to a head, and that the contract might very well not be renewed:

"the amount of money they have given non-radio people is absolulty insane….we meanwhile have done radio, and good radio i might add, for over 20 years, we are radio people that know the business, but because we are not martha stewart, or lance armstrong, or jamie foxx, granted all of which are big time names, but none have ever done radio. sirius feels they can pay us pretty much anything they want….and give us take it or leave it type options……..if you only knew some of the stuff they have done to us,"

Howard Stern this morning even brought up the situation with Bubba, giving his full support on the air, but expressed a level of doubt that the negotiations can be resolved.

The real looming question is whether Bubba has another offer on the table. He was seen exiting Cox Radio offices with his agent, fueling speculation of his return to terrestrial radio.

This morning though, Bubba confirmed that two offers from terrestrial radio companies are currently on the table:

"its kind of sad that i have two regular radio offers on the table that are willing to pay me over double right now to come back. granted i wont have as much fun, but at least i will have a steady contract for a long time, with good money and they (regular radio) will treat me as a valueable asset, not talk down to me, and push me around like the way i am being treated now…"

Many would hate to see Sirius go, especially since many Howard listeners have become Bubba fans. But as it stands, it definitely doesn't sound hopeful...

UPDATE: The blog posting in question has been removed.

Comedian and MySpace-guru Dane Cook has taken over Sirius Satellite Radio's Raw Dog Comedy (ch 104) for an uncensored hour with Pete Dominick.

This special hour with Dane Cook aired today at 2pm ET... but, oddly enough, Sirius issued the press release announcing Cook's appearance at 3pm ET today. No worries though, because it'll rebroadcast at a slew of timeslots: today at 6pm ET, tomorrow at 11am ET, September 19th at 1pm ET, September 20th at 10am and 8pm ET, and September 21st at 2pm and 6pm ET (phew).

But if that wasn't enough of Dane for you, he'll also be making appearances on Sirius Maxim Radio (ch 108), "The Mike & Murray Show" on Sirius Sports Central (ch 123), Sirius Hits 1 (ch 1), and Super Shuffle (ch 12).

Ultimate Fighter Matt Arroyo will be joining up with Sirius' uncensored radio host Bubba the Love Sponge starting next week.

The 24-year-old Arroyo is a former baseball player at the University of Tampa, who left the sport in favor of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He now teaches at the Gracie Academy in Tampa (which is the same camp where Bubba The Love Sponge’s Brent Hatley trains).

Sirius Satellite Radio will be launching a new show, "Barbara Live," hosted by Barbara Walters which will air Mondays from 6-7pm ET on Sirius Stars (ch 102).

Barbara Walters will be joined on the air each week by Bill Geddie, the longtime executive producer of The View. Sirus is the only place Walters has ever done live, call-in shows.

"I look forward to being on Sirius radio. I especially love taking phone calls from listeners," said Barbara Walters. "This is a whole new experience for me, and very exciting."

Sirius also airs a weekly radio one-hour show with Walters called Barbara Walters' "Best of the Very Best." The show takes the best from the archives of diverse interviews with Walters, and includes dynamic interviews with famous people ranging from Hillary Clinton to Muhammad Ali to Tom Hanks to Lance Armstrong.

Sirius negotiated the agreement for the new series with Allen Grubman, Lawrence Shire and Karen Gottlieb of Grubman Indursky & Shire, P.C., who represent Ms. Walters and her production company Barwall Productions, Inc.
