XM has extended their contract with public radio guru Bob Edwards, in a new multi-year deal, to continue hosting the XM Public Radio (ch 133) flagship show, "The Bob Edwards Show."
Edwards joined XM in 2004, and has interviewed hundreds of notable personalities such as William F. Buckley, Jr., Jimmy Carter, George Clooney, Matt Dillon, Nora Ephron, Al Gore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Arianna Huffington, Jeremy Irons, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Bob Newhart, Edward Norton, Anna Quindlen, Dan Rather, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Ricky Skaggs, Gore Vidal, Forest Whitaker and many others.
"The Bob Edwards Show" airs weekdays from 8-9am ET, with encores at 7am, 9am, 10am and 8pm ET. In 2006, XM debuted "Bob Edwards Weekend," a two-hour highlights program that also is the first satellite radio show made available on terrestrial radio. "Bob Edwards Weekend" is syndicated nationally to public radio stations across the country through Public Radio International (PRI).
Terms of the deal were not announced.
(TWO Bob Edwards posts in a single day? The sky must be falling.)
Would be nice if Bob had more influence on XM Marketing. The average consumer probably has little knowledge of the legend on the service. Well, this could be said for most of XM's content.
Didn't he pass away recently...I'm sure he did...
Sirius signs Sinatra and Nascar, XM extends the late Bob Edwards. ( just kidding Bob, my Great-Great Grandpa loves you ) .
Good job Logan !
E-Lo rules !
