How Do I Suggest a Show For Satellite Radio?

I'm often asked by site visitors how to go about suggesting a show for one or both Satellite Radio services. That's why I inquired to to both XM and SIRIUS for the "official" procedure. If you have a radio show - or a great idea for one - this is how to do it.

XM Satellite Radio

Anne-Taylor Griffith, Manager, Corporate Communications suggests this procedure:

"If you have an idea for a show on a specific channel, you can send an email with a BRIEF concept pitch to the program director for that channel or the designated channel address. Most channels have contact information on the channels dedicated page of the XM website.

If you have an idea for a show, but you’re not sure which XM channel would be the best fit, OR you have an idea for a channel, you can send an email with a BRIEF concept pitch to programming@xmradio.com.

Please don’t send an unsolicited pitch to someone outside of XM programming and ask that it be forwarded internally to the appropriate person. It’s also not a good idea to pitch your programming ideas on the phone, even if they are an appropriate contact. Stick with email.

Include your complete contact information with your pitch, but don’t call or e-mail XM to follow-up on your submitted programming idea."

SIRIUS Satellite Radio

Elise Brown, Director, Public Relations says:

Send proposals to ideas@sirius-radio.com.
