MSNBC Signs On With Sirius XM Radio
News Channel To Debut On Satellite Service April 12
MCN Staff -- Multichannel News, 4/7/2010 11:32:38 AM

Sirius XM Radio will add MSNBC to its roster next week.

Beginning April 12, satellire radio provider Sirius XM will carry MSNBC, offering its subscribers across the country access to the network's reporting, full schedule of live news coverage, political analysis and award-winning documentary programming.

MSNBC will air on Sirius channel 90 and XM channel 120. Deal terms were not disclosed.

"We welcome MSNBC's dynamic lineup of shows and hosts to Sirius XM," said Scott Greenstein, president and chief content officer, Sirius XM Radio, in announcing the deal. "At virtually every time of day and evening, MSNBC provides compelling and entertaining commentary and news. Now millions of listeners can stay connected via Sirius XM to their favorite source for news, politics, and the singular personalities of MSNBC wherever they go."

"We're thrilled to have MSNBC's programming available to SIRIUS XM's millions of listeners," said MSNBC president Phil Griffin. "We know our viewers will appreciate the ability to take MSNBC with them when they're away from the TV, from Morning Joe on the way to the office to our opinion programs on the way home to breaking news anytime."
 
I suppose this move displaces Korean Radio on the channel line up. Maybe the Korean radio organization didn't want to keep paying Sirius/XM to be on their channel line up across North America?

I'm a fan of MSNBC, especially its Prime Time line up and Morning Joe. But I'm not a big fan of listening to TV audio on the radio.

Certainly on weekends, I can''t picture many people listening to the prison and crime shows that MSNBC runs rather than having a weekend staff of newscasters and hosts. Unless on radio, they'll be re-running Olbermann, Maddow, Matthews, Scarborough and Schultz as they do with the weekday talk shows on the various talk channels.
