Multi-platinum artist Ne-Yo will appear live at Sirius Satellite Radio studios in Rockefeller Center to perform tracks from his upcoming release, "Year of the Gentleman." The CD drops on August 5th, but Sirius Hot Jamz (ch 50) will have the exclusive performance tonight, June 19th from 6pm - 7pm ET.
If you miss it, you can catch the replays on Friday, June 20th at 12am; Saturday, June 21st at 11am; Sunday, June 22nd at 11am, 5pm and 11pm; and finally on Tuesday, June 24th at 12am (all times Eastern).
Who?
Remind me to turn off the Radio.
Is he reaching for his gun?
I think the rapper popiulation is running out of names to use
Ugh. I'll pass on this, but Grandmaster Flash on Saturdays is the shit!
I can almost smell his nuts from that picture.
Yet we need to give more channels to minorities.
Could they please stop using the phrase "The CD drops on..." Ugh.
On the other hand thanks for letting me know when the "CD drops" so I can step on it.
I think Mel is a genius for the ages in communications and marketing, but if he blows this merger, I will always wonder why he failed to energize his listeners in a tactfully done campaign. After all, the NAB is throwing both barrels at it and here we sit without a calling , organization or direction.
Here's my answer since Mel doesn't seem to mind being "swiftboated" ...
------
Sent to 55 of my friends and asked them to forward... you do the same eh?

Howdy,
As you know I'm both a fan and investor in satellite radio... have been since inception of the technology.
In February 2007, Sirius applied for a merger with XM radio as both of these entities have had tremendous start up costs and a very competitive market competing with ipod, wifi and others. The DOJ approve of this merger in March of 2008. Though the FCC has had this issue for a whopping 456 days, they have failed to rule. This is in part due to the influence that terrestrial radio ( NAB -National Association of Broadcasters) has gone to great length to block this both legally via exparte filings and underhandedly with "political contributions" to various members of Congress including Brownback, Dingle, Leahy, and a host of others hidden in the woodwork. The best Government money can buy as they say .....
To top it all off, Jesse Jackson quickly joined "Georgetown Partners" and petitioned the FCC to "give" up to 20% of Sirius and XM spectrum to them for "minority broadcasting" which most consider a shake down. 8% has been suggested in a concession letter along with ala carte pricing and a 3 year price freeze.
The FCC is in the final stages of determining if this merger will be allowed. If you have a moment, and support this merger, please click on the link above (see the far right of the FCC page for links) above and send an e-mail to Chairman Martin (who finally voiced support of this after 450 days) but mostly Commissioners Tate, Adlestein, McDowell and Copps. It being generally believed that Tate and Adlestein are the swing votes.
Lastly, if you are so inclined, please forward this to 2-3 of your friends and ask them to support Satellite radio and forever wipe out the NAB monopoly and all those commercials.
Sit up straight and at least look pleasant, for Chrissakes.
You're a blessed man living in a once great country.
Dat’s FAT! I’m gonna have a strizok in my brizain this n*ggaz got the Thugnificence goin on! BOOTY, BOOTY, BUTT, BOOTY, BUTT, BOOTY, BUTT CHEEKS! BOOTY, BOOTY, BUTT, BOOTY, BUTT, BOOTY, BUTT CHEEKS! I Luv dat song!
Ne-Yo? NO NO!
Plowboy must you spam and crap every thread with your propaganda? Do you disrespect Orbitcast and Ryan that badly?
Lastly, if you are so inclined, please forward this to 2-3 of your friends and ask them to call and write their congressmen and women letting them know educated people do not want a "merge" MONOPOLY in the Satellite radio industry. Long live the NAB and FCC.
Who?
Why bother writing congress, the NAB has already paid the handful of congresspersons available for purchase on this issue, A better use of people’s time is to write their representative to encourage the FCC to level the royalties playing field. Every media outlet should be happy to pay artist for their work. Testicle radio’s tired old excuse that they further a new artist’s career through exposure has fallen by the wayside as new media distribution outlets supersede them. No one goes to testicle radio to hear new music anymore they only tune in to hear their FAVORITE COMMERCIALS or the same 5 bands every hour. The slump in CD sale is only more proof of the irrelevance of testicle radio to an artist’s bottom line in the era of Iradio, P2P, G3cell phs and ipods. The NAB shouldn’t begrudge the handful of artist they play the money they deserve AND NO, ACCEPTING PAYOLA from a McBand ISN”T THE SAME AS PAYING ROYALTIES to an new unknown artist! P2P networks that steal music are no different from testicle radio they both encourage the free distribution of music without compensation for the artist. What stops someone from recording music off Tradio other than the poor sound quality and the monotonous playlist?
"The slump in CD sale is only more proof of the irrelevance of testicle radio" = WRONG, much like the whole BIAS, uneducated post.
My he sure looks like a strong mandingo!! He can do the booty bop with me anytime!
