Sirius to offer 'podcast' show
According to the AP Wire release on Mercury News:
"The move by Sirius comes just days after Viacom Inc.'s Infinity Broadcasting unit said it would convert a struggling talk radio station in San Francisco to an all-podcast format.
The show, which Sirius was expected to formally announce on Monday, will begin broadcasting weekdays on May 13. It will be hosted by Adam Curry, the former MTV personality who helped create the technological tools that allow podcasting to work. The show will be broadcast on Sirius channel 148, a talk-radio station that does carry commercials, unlike Sirius' all-music channels."
It seems like this format would work better on a satellite station, where there is already more niche and hard-to-find programming. I still have the listing from when XM Radio had a call for entries for an all-poetry radio show. Here's their current full programming listing.
