XM, like Sirius, is launching a six-day channel devoted to the Pope Benedict XVI's historic visit to the United States.
The channel, aptly named "Papal U.S. Visit '08," will air on XM channel 120 (XM Live) from April 15th to April 20th.
"Papal U.S. Visit '08" was created in conjunction with the EWTN Global Catholic Network which will provide comprehensive coverage of Pope Benedict's visit for subscribers. Expect to hear news and commentary as the Pope travels to Washington, D.C. and New York City.
On-site coverage by EWTN will include the masses at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., St. Patrick's Cathedral and Yankee Stadium in New York, as well as the Pope's visits to the White House, United Nations, Ground Zero, and the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center.
Thank god georgetown partners is trying to rape this merger for some channel space to provide some diversity...I mean, my market in philly does nothing but play Pope stuff alll day long! I think we have like 5 pope channels! Please someone get some diversity on these services!
Why do child molesters get such coverage? Organized religion is a farce, and we shouldn't be putting up with "the pope". Screw that guy. He's just a cover-up specialist, and he probably likes little boys, too.
Does the Pope-mobile have XM factory installed? How about the pope-hat?
Way to go XM, wish they would keep it full time. As a dual subscriber, I enjoy the two Sirius Catholics channels.
