XM is bringing on the funny.

This July is Comedy Month, and XM Satellite Radio is celebrating by running "Laugh Out Loud Month" (el oh el!) with special comedy features that're sure to give you the ol' elbow jab in the ribs.

Check out xmradio.com for more details and a full schedule. (tee hee!)

The US Open will air live on XM Satellite Radio's PGA TOUR Network (channel 146) from Thursday, June 15th through Sunday, June 18th - meanwhile spectators at the championship can pick up complimentary XM radios to hear the broadcast at the event. This XM broadcast marks the first time the championship will be carried on satellite radio.

Expect to hear complete play-by-play coverage of the US Open, with pre and post-round commentary, call-in shows, interviews with leading players, and on-site press conferences. XM's on-air team is currently broadcasting pre-event coverage from the Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, NY (the site of the U.S. Open).

Each day at the US Open event, XM will be doing one of my favorite promotions - providing 1,000 portable XM radios for spectators to listen to the broadcast for the day, at no charge. The XM booth will be located at the US Open merchandise pavilion Thursday through Sunday.

From the very first match to the final, XM Satellite Radio will capture all of the action of the 2006 FIFA World Cup as it happens from Munich, Germany. XM - who is the exclusive English radio broadcaster (terrestrial or satellite) - will broadcast live 24/7 coverage, play-by-play on dedicated English and Spanish-language channels, game analysis and daily recaps.

It all kicks off June 9th, with 32 countries going head-to-head for 31 days, ending on the World Cup Final in Berlin on July 9th. This only happens once every four years kids, so be sure to join Andres Cantor, Jeff Agoos, Phil Schoen, Dave Johnson, Christopher Sullivan and others as the action unfolds.

XM is currently broadcasting pre-match coverage, including call-in shows, interviews, and specials, 24 hours a day on XM Deportivo 147 (Spanish) and on XM Channel 148.  For the full schedule of World cup matches visit http://worldcup.xmradio.com.
