SIRIUS Satellite Radio's GLBT channel, Sirius OutQ (ch 106), will be providing live coverage of the Gay Games VII from July 15th through July 22nd.

OutQ will broadcast the entire event - from the Opening Ceremony from Soldier Field to the Closing Ceremony from Wrigley Field - with interviews, profiles and stories of the athletes, directors and performers along the way.

Look for Sirius OutQ hosts offering colorful commentary and... behind-the-scenes facts about the event as well.

On June 25th, SIRIUS Satellite Radio's living-legend DJ Cousin Brucie will be inducted into the New York State Broadcasters Association Hall Of Fame.

The Cuz has already been inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame, the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and the Cable and Broadcast Hall of Fame, and is included in the pioneering rock radio DJ exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

You can hear Brucie on Wednesday Night with the Cuz and Cousin Brucie's Saturday Night Party on SIRIUS 60s Vibrations and Talkin' With the Cuz on SIRIUS Stars on Wednesdays.

This past Friday, John McHugh and Maggie Lee got married, and rather than opting for a band or DJ, they chose Sirius Satellite Radio to spin the tunes at the reception.

Maggie Lee, 22, had contacted Sirius back in February and asked if they'd play a few songs for them, but she didn't expect that a whole broadcast would be dedicated to them. The couple's playlist was broadcast, along with added personalized dedications, were played on SIRIUS' Standard Time (ch 75).

Aside from the uber-cuteness/geeky factor here, this story (which the AP ate up) is an interesting case of people's perception of what satellite radio provides. The thought that an in-person DJ is easily substituted by a satellite stream says something. Sure, there have been people who've done the same things with iPods, but I wonder if anyone has attempted this with their local terrestrial radio station?
