Jimmy Buffett launched Radio Margaritaville in 1998 as an
Internet-only channel, which will still be available at
www.radiomargaritaville.com. Now, for the first time, Jimmy Buffett
fans across America can hear the channel in their cars, on their boats
and on the go by becoming SIRIUS subscribers.
SIRIUS will also broadcast Radio Margaritaville live on a regular
basis from a studio located at Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant at
Universal City Walk in Orlando, Florida. The channel is expected to
broadcast from its other Margaritaville Cafes and Restaurants
currently located in Key West, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Jamaica and
Cancun.
As one of today's most successful artists, Jimmy Buffett performs
sold-out concerts worldwide and has recorded forty records, most of
which have gone gold, platinum or multi-platinum. Jimmy's newest CD,
License To Chill, which debuted at #1 on both the Pop and Country
charts, was the first number one record of his career, spent 15 weeks
in the Top 10 of the Billboard Country Albums Chart, and has been
certified platinum by the RIAA.
Also an author, Jimmy's new novel, A Salty Piece Of Land, was released
and immediately entered the New York Times Bestseller List. The New
York Times said it "is very possibly Buffett's best work to date."
With Jimmy's three previous No. 1 bestsellers, he is one of only six
authors in the history of the New York Times Bestseller List to have
reached No. 1 on both their fiction and non-fiction lists.
The arrangement with Jimmy Buffett is the latest SIRIUS endeavor to
provide its subscribers with unique, proprietary content featuring
some of the most popular and intriguing personalities in
entertainment.
