2007 Orbitcast AwardsBefore I kick off Orbitcast Radio today, I also wanted to announce that nominations for the 2007 Orbitcast Awards (aka "The Orbies") are now open.

This is entirely a People's Voice award. There's no editorial influence or bias here. The channels, shows, on-air hosts, and everything else selected here is 100% powered by you.

Categories include:

  • Best Comedy Talk Show
  • Best Kept Secret on Satellite Radio
  • Best Music Show
  • Most Creative Music Channel
  • ...and much much more

I figure that since everyone else can have their own awards "show" - the satellite radio industry deserves one as well. There's some amazing talent coming from those birds, and it's about time that everyone on both Sirius and XM gets recognition for all their hard work and effort.

Nominations are open now, head on over and submit your favorites today.

I want to nominate Tyler Savery for the most heavily biased towards Sirius Blog as well as an award for best penned yahoo stock message board posts (although still biased).

I would also like to nominate Ryan for keeping Orbitcast here and filling it with nearly all the relitive infomation out there regarding Sat Rad.

So Ryan for best Sat rad Blog site...
Tyler for most biased blog site
Tyler for biased Yahoo posts under the name "Doberman"

Best Kids show... Kenny Curtis XM116
Best Hair Metal.... Hair Nation Sirius
Best rock show.... Eddie Trunk XM41
Best dedicated channel ... XM LED
Best Sat Rad feature... song/artist alert XM
Best Talk Host..... Howard Stern (like him or not you can not deny his following)
Best special .... XM's Artist confidential
Best new product ... Sirius for the Stiletto 2
Best "Golden Parachute" ... Only one jumper so thats Hugh Panero (8 million)

Ryan: You forgot the "fun" categories like,

Funniest qoute from Rehr
Most out of touch comment from the NAB
Most outrageous lawsuit by the RIAA

Just Sayin...

Since I'm using a screen reader to read this, and it won't let me join your forums, I'd like to nominate "ATN Asian Radio" (XM 159) as the most inovative and best channel. This channel serves an underserved nitch (and they do it very well), and they play unique sounding music -- or, well it's unique to someone like myself, who is not south Asian.
