The Women's Conference 2007, hosted by California First Lady Maria Shriver and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be getting an entire channel on Sirius aptly named: Sirius' Women's Conference (ch 119).

Taking place on Tuesday, October 23rd at the Long Beach Convention Center, the Women's Conference 2007 will air its two-day special broadcast event all day Thursday, October 25th and Friday, October 26th.

After that, Sirius will kick off its Halloween channel in the same channel slot.

The Women's Conference Channel will provide audio of the conference to listeners nationwide, including key speeches and panels in their entirety, as well as interviews with speakers and attendees, plus introductions and perspectives from Shriver.

In addition to Shriver and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, this year's speakers come include Queen Rania Al Abdullah, Laila Ali, Joan Baez, Willow Bay, Tony Blair, Jamie Lee Curtis, Elizabeth Edwards, Linda Ellerbee, Nora Ephron, Thomas Friedman, Diane Von Furstenberg, Susan Saint James, Cindy Hensley McCain, Dee Dee Myers, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Deborah Norville, Michelle Obama, Raven-Symone, Deborah Roberts, Ann Romney, Christine Todd Whitman, Vanessa Williams and others.

This year's conference will also feature a "dynamic conversation" between the 2008 presidential candidates' spouses featuring Elizabeth Edwards, Cindy Hensley McCain, Michelle Obama, Ann Romney and Jeri Thompson, moderated by Shriver.

Last year, Sirius covered the 2006 California Governor and First’s Lady’s Conference on Women, which is quite the mouthful. As far as I can tell, it looks like it was renamed to the Women's Conference 2007, thankfully.

Sirius Satellite Radio will be devoting an entire channel to blood-curdling Halloween sound effects, as well as broadcasting other creative programming dedicated to the All Hallows' Eve.

Sirius' Scream (ch 119) will be an uninterrupted channel dedicated to all things spooky, eerie and darn-tootin' creepy.

From October 27th to October 31st, Scream 119 will feature favorite Halloween stories from Sirius personalities such as Martha Stewart, Dee Snider, Jay Thomas, Mary O and Cousin Brucie, as well as Halloween-themed interviews, features and more.

Then on October 31st, Scream takes on a transformation.

For 24 hours on October 31st, Sirius Scream will broadcast chilling Halloween sound effects, perfect for Halloween parties at work or at home, to listen to in the car driving around the neighborhood trick-or-treating and to play in the house and front yard as trick-or-treaters come over.

Kid-friendly spooky noises include creaking doors, wolves baying, footsteps, bubbling potions, a fog horn, breaking glass, the sounds of being chased through the woods, eerie screams, the echo of dripping water, a heart beat, a slow walk and thunder (get the idea?).

Other fun Halloween programming spanning multiple channels and days includes: Martha Stewart Living Radio’s tips for everything from delicious orange and black meals to having the most innovative costumes and parties on the block; Sirius’ psychic host Mary O takes scary calls and sheds light on why things go bump in the night; and RadioClassics will broadcast the original War of the Worlds during its original 1938 date and timeslot, as well as other classic radio dramas starring such Hollywood horror legends as Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre.
