XM is launching the Uncle Sam Channel on Friday, a musical melting pot of songs all about America in celebration of Independence Day.
The Uncle Sam Channel will provide the perfect soundtrack for the holiday, whether you're just enjoying the 4th of July in the back yard or driving cross-country from sea to shining sea.
Tune in to XM Live (ch 120) on Friday, July 4th all day long (12am to midnight ET) to hear classics like Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land," Charlie Daniels' "In America," Jimi Hendrix's "The Star Spangled Banner," and Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A."
I plan to file a protest with the FCC demanding that XM give 20% of the Uncle Sam channel to HD Radio so they can advertise their product.
It's only the only American thing to do in order to protect XM listeners from this very dangerous listening experience.
Thank you for your time.

NAB = Communists
Happy Birthday America...The founders must be rolling over in their graves with the government corruption and enforcement being displayed today.
HD Radio is not only the future of radio, the approved standard for digital radio, HD Radio is also FREE radio as in radio for everyone.
Eh, whatever. Want to feel better? Buy one of this guy's sports prints - he's a REAL good old fashioned American success story. Give the little guy a boost for once! He's awesome!

Sadly AC is again mistaken, the NAB is doing it's job:
The National Association of Broadcasters
The National Association of Broadcasters is a trade association that advocates on behalf of more than 8,300 free, local radio and television stations and also broadcast networks before Congress, the Federal Communications Commission and the Courts.
Nothing at all "communists" when it comes to the NAB.
I'm thinking Fuck Uncle Sam. This country went to shit 20 years ago.
I'll be recording the Springsteen concert on July 4th. XM's programming is soo much better. LOL!
Hoooooray I got the ABBA channel
First- the FCC chairman said that the decision would be made shotly after the DOJ’s.
He lied. Then in April,Kevin Martin said it would be soon. He lied again. Then he said decision would be by June 30.
Three lies on the timing for a decision.
In baseball, it is Three strikes and your out. Where is the accountability for the FCC?
HOW ABOUT INDEPENDENCE FROM OUR GOVERNMENT ! ! !
ENOUGH of these artist themed channels.
firefox249,
mistaken again....
Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin continues his "merge" MONOPOLY scheme, which he admitted was against regulations while the satradio industry continues on it's quick path to destruction. Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin is caught in a dream of lining his pockets one more time on the backs of consumers and the industry.
XM's Expanded Coverage of SEC Football, Basketball and Baseball Begins This Fall
WASHINGTON, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XM Satellite Radio, the official satellite radio provider of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), today announced that the University of Alabama, Auburn University, University of Florida, and Vanderbilt University will join XM's blockbuster line-up of SEC sports starting fall 2008.
With the addition of these four schools, XM is the exclusive satellite radio provider of all 12 SEC institutions.
=======================================================================
Ryan... this is not news?
for everyone else... Look.. its again not exclusive audio partner.. only exclusive to XM.
Seriously, these comments are way out of line anymore. Registration with a valid e-mail address needs to be the way to go. Every topic anymore gets infested with morons.
Hoo Hoo I invented.. Oh wait, never mind....Happy Birthday America!!!!
The Uncle Sam channel was great last year. I loved XM Summer too. This is the kind of stuff that makes XM great. More more more! Also, PLEASE no Abba channel on XM. Thank you.

Hmmm, why should we have minority channels if there isn't a market demanding them and supporting them? This is a business and there shouldn't be a channel if there is no interest. I can see it now - endless mad preachers screeching - a la Jeremiah Wright - about nonsense. These people demanding these channels can't do successful broadcasting with regular radio - of course they are going to try to freeload on satelltie. And what the heck are all of those r n b and hip hop channels? White majority channels?
I would like an all white male channel as we will soon be a minority - the minority supporting everyone else.
Another great job by XM! More "special" channels like this!
