Live Earth on Sirius, XM and WorldSpace
All three satellite radio companies - Sirius, XM and WorldSpace - will be broadcasting complete coverage of the historic "Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis" concert series, starting on Friday, July 6th at 9pm.
Live Earth is a 24-hour, 7-continent series of 8 concerts taking place on 7.7.07 that bring together over 100 artists and 2 billion people meant to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis.
Special Live Earth Channels
- Sirius will broadcast "The Best of Live Earth" on Super Shuffle (ch 12), highlighting the most memorable moments of Live Earth.
- XM will broadcast "Live Earth All Access" (ch 40) featuring highlights of the most memorable performances, backstage interviews and more.
- WorldSpace Channel 29 will provide highlights of the day's best performances from all event locations.
Eco-Friendly Channels
Sirius and XM will also dedicate special channels devoted to the spirit of an eco-friendly lifestyle.
- Sirius Green (ch 119), launched on July 4th is a four-day broadcast channel dedicated to informing the audience about the realities of the climate crisis. Features include environmental tips and myths, stories and interviews with celebrities, political commentary, listener comments and the Live Earth concert calendar.
- XM's microchannel - Earthsounds (ch 39) - will feature a variety of nature sounds and recordings captured from around the world. Earthsounds can be heard starting Friday, July 6th at 10pm ET through Monday, July 9th at 3am ET, set to coincide with Live Earth.
- Sirius will also exclusively broadcast the "Stop Global Warming Concert" on Friday, July 6th at 8pm ET on The Spectrum (ch 18). Recorded on Earth Day (April 22, 2007) this concert features performances by Sheryl Crow and Carole King as well as a speech by the producer of An Inconvenient Truth.
Mobile Access
XM has added an interactive text messaging for Live Earth: Text "Live Earth" (or "LiveEarth") to GOTXM, or 4-6-8-9-6. The text you'll get back will include a link to the Live Earth splash page for web-enabled phones; along with the ability to reply to that text message with the name of 1 of 4 Live Earth cities - London, New York, Sydney, and Tokyo - which would send you another text for the corresponding Channel #, start time, and basic artist lineup.
Sirius is allowing users to search by artist and get lineup information over the phone. Call Sirius Satellite Radio at 877-33-SIRIUS, then press "4" from the main menu to access the Sirius Live Earth hotline.

Note: I tried my best to assemble all the Live Earth coverage for each of the satellite radio providers in one place here. Some of the schedules have changed (sometimes several times) at the last minute and I've tried to reflect that here. If you find different info or that I missed something, please let me know either by email or in the comments. Thanks!
