I want to know who DOESN'T get their own Sirius channel. Next week a big announcement, "Malkovichia" lauches; a channel programmed by and all about John Malkovich,his style, his movies, and what he ate for breakfast that morning. Compelling radio.

One of the most annoying assholes on the planet gets his own channel? I thought content was king. This is just filling time. He sings, he dances, he acts, he does stand-up and now he's a radio host. How about being good at one thing instead of a hack at everything.

I wonder who will bring more subscribers. Oprah or Jamie Foxx? Oprah was a big failure so I have to give it to Jamie.

They should give Howard another channel (or two) also. He's great!

I think this channel will be a great addition to the programming line up. Satellite radio was created to provide unique content that can not be found on terrestrial radio. It's obvious many don't understand Jamie's talent and influence on the community. What's the difference between this channel and say Jimmy Buffet, Howard Stern or the Rolling Stones who are all also very talented?
The difference is they appeal to different segments of the population. That's satellite radio's goal and consumer appeal.

Marty9 - So what you're saying is that Sirius is trying to reach the community of black folks with bad taste?

Wha, Wha, What. Did I miss something? When did tom cruise get his own radio show? And no I am not kidding he is the biggest waste of shit on this planet. If his teeth where on fire I wouldn't piss in his mouth.
