The first-annual Orbitcast Awards (aka, the "Orbies") is now open for voting. Your nominations have been submitted and now it's time to put them to the vote.

By far the categories with the most individual nominees are The Best Kept Secret on Satellite Radio and The Best Music DJ.

Best Music Show, Best "Go To" Channel, and of course Best Comedy Talk Show (complete with everyone's favorite smattering of shock-jocks) also received their own fair share of attention during the nomination phase. So make sure to cast your votes soon before they close.

Voting closes on Saturday, February 9th.

Remember, this is a 100% "People's Voice" award, which is completely driven by your nominations and your votes. Satellite radio deserves its own award to give the talent behind Sirius' and XM's mics the recognition they deserve.

So cast your vote today!
