Miley Cyrus, star of Disney Channel's Hannah Montana, will be taking over Sirius Hits 1 (ch 1), starting tomorrow.
The pop sensation will take time out of her sold out US tour to play her favorite songs, share stories and countdown the year's top 45 pop songs.
"Miley Radio!" premieres December 28th at 12pm ET and will run through January 1st.
Miley will also host special editions of "Hit-Bound" (the Sirius Hits 1 show that showcases artists/songs that will be the next big thing), and "Best of Live Earth Countdown" (a recount of memorable moments from Live Earth).
While Miley Cyrus is also the daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus, she became an overnight sensation herself as the star of the Disney Channel's series Hannah Montana. In 2007, she launched the "Best of Both Worlds" tour - performing as both herself and Hannah Montana - and tickets for the 54 city tour sold out in record time.
Forbes recently ranked Miley at #17 on their 'Top 20 earners under 25.'

Well this is what I've been waiting for. I'm calling Sirius and reactivating my radio.

Take it easy, Stack- we all know you've got the hots for her. In any case, right now, she's bigger than Elvis.

She will spend more time on the air than the 55 Million Dollar Woman and more than likely draw more new subscribers.

Exactly how "under 25" is she?
Posted by: mistaneon | December 27, 2007 9:04 PM
@mistaneon: She's 15, and pulled in $3.5 million in annual income this year.
Even worse:
"Expect to see Cyrus' income rise in the next year, thanks to her sold-out concert tour, which kicked off in October. With tickets fetching in excess of $2,500 a pop--more than seats at Bruce Springsteen or the Eagles concerts--the Cyrus tour is the event of the year."

If only she was as popular with paying customers as she is with kids.

Um, the tickets that went for $2500 didn't help her. It only helped the person that owned the tickets and the 10% or so that stub hub takes from the sale. Unless of course she put her own tickets on stubhub.

Mikey and Stack you do realize this is on the HITS channel. Not like she is taking over the classic rock station.
Seems like a good move to me a huge revenue generator has got to get some more exposure for sirius.

Wait. Over at XM. The Jonas Brothers are also on the Hits Channel (20 on 20). I wish they swap places with Miley since frankly i dont care about JoBro and i find Miley Cute.
The Jonas Brothers are also with the Hannah Montana tour.
