Jimmy Buffet channel coming to Sirius
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. |

I love this part: "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." Ever heard of wireless internet? |

So what is wrong with your antenna, anyway?

Now, you just have to buy 3 iPods. --Mike L. |

Really? Just do a google search on "smart phones" or something like
that. You'll find plenty. Steve |
Yeah, that's the kind of content I'm going to shell out money for every
month. Not! If your standards are that low, you might as well just watch television. Steve |

I never said you couldn't talk about sat. radio. You can talk about anything you want. It just seemed to me you'd want to find an audience that was actually *interested* in sat radio...but that's before I realized you were a troll. |

So this is what you're telling yourself, eh? It must be damned hard to justify writing that check out to Sirius every month. Wouldn't it make more sense to just repair your antenna? |
Really? Just do a google search on "smart phones" or something like
that. You'll find plenty. Steve Do you really listen to music on your "smart phone"? And, if you do, how does that materially differ from having a Sirius radio subscription? |
|
Personally, I'd pay $13 a month just to get the BBC
World Service anytime, anyplace in North America. My guess is it would cost less than $13 to repair your antenna. Then you could tell Sirius to shove it. |
Do you really listen to music on your "smart phone"? And, if you do,
how does that materially differ from having a Sirius radio subscription? It gives me access to everything on the internet, not just the commercial crapola that's available through Sirius. Steve |

how does that materially differ from having a Sirius radio subscription? It gives me access to everything on the internet, not just the commercial crapola that's available through Sirius. But -- and I'm being serious now, I'm not arguing -- can you listen to music over your phone in anything resembling hi-fi sound? Is it a realistic medium for music? Unless something has changed drastically lately, then it's not. You're critical of people that pay for the Sirius service, because you consider it "commercial crapola," but your solution requires the payment of a monthly fee, too, but it doesn't allow you to enjoy music through it. What am I missing here? |
What am I missing here?
You can listen to the sound via a speaker and I think it sounds just fine. As for the monthly fee...well, (1) my employer pays for it and (2) even if my employer didn't pay for it, it'd be a fee giving me access not just to a body of music or whatever, but to the internet---which, for good independent reasons, I need access to anyway. |

What kinds of things have you tried to improve your reception?

One interesting quote on his website which sorta ties into parts of the SW hobby/hobbies: "It's like the old pirate radio stations that sat offshore and played what they wanted." Of course, with XM or Sirius there's still a gatekeeper although the gate is less restrictive than those that the FCC or the broadcasting conglomerates are putting up. (I believe XM is partially owned by Clear Channel.) Netcasting, on the other hand, has almost no gate. |
Hmmm. It must be hard to go beyond that finite amount then. It's never
happened to me, despite heavy use. Steve |
