Wow, this is pretty cool. Starting in June, XM Satellite Radio will broadcast live daily from new, state-of-the-art XM studios at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s new home, Frederick P. Rose Hall, at Broadway at 60th Street, in New York City.

The Frederick P. Rose Hall (opened in October of last year) will be home for a bunch of XM’s music channels, such as Real Jazz and On Broadway.

XM will also host and broadcast live performances from the Jazz at Lincoln Center facilities featuring a wide range of styles, from rock, hip-hop, and country artists to classical and jazz performers. These XM shows will include new episodes of XM’s Original Music series Artist Confidential and Then … Again … Live! Special features from XM’s news, public radio, sports, kids, talk, comedy and entertainment channels will originate from the new studios as well.

The control rooms, designed for 5.1 surround sound mixing and one of the largest studios in Manhattan, will have the capability to capture live performances. XM Productions - Effanel Music, (recently acquired by XM), will provide recording services for live venues.

Don’t worry kids, O&A will continue to broadcast from the Economist Building on West 57th Street.

(Since I’m local to NYC, I’m hoping I can get a photo tour of both facilities going. I’ll keep everyone posted on that.)
