Grateful Dead on sirius radio!


Sirius to Launch 'Grateful Dead Radio'
Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. said it will launch a channel dedicated to music from the Grateful Dead this summer. Grateful Dead Radio will play music from the iconic group around the clock, including live shows from the band's archives and bootleg performances from fans. Sirius said the channel will also include on-air appearances by members of the band -- drummer Mickey Hart and guitarist Bob Weir announced the new offering with the New York satellite radio company. Sirius, which broadcasts more than 130 channels, has a handful of other channels dedicated to individual artists, including Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and Frank Sinatra.
