Merger should be certain now!
Neil Diamond is a legend and besides my little joke he diserves air-time.
It's about friggin time!
...There comin' to America! Today!...
2 WEEKS, sounds ok
Too bad it isn't post-merger, or they could have had Ant do his "Sweet Caroline" for the channel...
Sweet. I wish Howard was on vacation the next 2 weeks.
Is Sirius finally waking up and not leaving artists on their own channels for months and even longer? Two weeks is just about right.
Never let anyone tell you Neil Diamond doesn't ROCK!

Sweet Caroline!!!
Dang... Libb beat me to it...
Yeah. Another waste of a channel and the most enthusiasm I can muster is at least it's only for two weeks. This is what's going to kill SDARS, not the merger dragging out. If this is what they call "music" then consider me uninterested. Who would sample this service and purchase based on single artist channels or the "ipodization" of the service? Even at $6.99/month? I like Neil but please, he's completely irrelevant today, a nostalgia act for the boomer generation and certainly not going to move any subs or add value for current customers.
BOO! What an awful move
It's this kind of creative programming that gives Sirius the definite edge when it comes to music. XM is stuck with Michael Jackson and George Strait!
