Sirius Satellite Radio's "Blog Radio" show on Left of Center (ch 26) has been awarded the 2007 PLUG! Music Award for "Specialty Show of the Year."
Music lovers participate in the PLUG! Music Awards, which are held every year to celebrate the best in independent music. Writers, DJs, bloggers, artists, filmmakers, managers, indie retailers and fans gather for PLUG! to celebrate indie artists.
"Blog Radio" airs weeknights at 10pm ET and is hosted by influential music bloggers who provide insight into the indie rock scene. Brooklyn Vegan, one of the contributors to "Blog Radio," also won the PLUG! Music Award for "Best Music Blog." Fellow contributors/blogger Gorilla vs Bear and My Old Kentucky Blog were nominated in the same category. Sadly, it doesn't seem that Product Shop NYC (another Blog Radio cohort) was nominated for anything.
Congrats to Sirius and to all the bloggers involved. It's well deserved.
Blog Radio is surprisingly good! When I first heard the concept I was skeptical (think college radio) but it turns out to be some pretty decent programming. I listen to BV whenever I get a chance.
