Oprah Comes to XM

Oprah Comes to XM

9 February 2006 · No Comments

From an XM press release:

XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. on Thursday said it signed a three-year, $55 million deal with Oprah Winfrey to introduce a channel on the top U.S. subscription radio service, sending shares up as much as 10 percent.

The new channel, called “Oprah And Friends,” is scheduled to launch in September and will include a weekly show hosted by Oprah, as well as programs featuring other personalities from her popular nationally syndicated TV talk show.

If you’ve read through my Livejournal, you know I’m an XM fan, if not a fanatic. So things that are good for XM are things that I like.

However, I’m dreading finding out what channel’s going to be axed to make room for the Oprah channel.
