Dateline: 07/13/04

By , About.com Guide

SIRIUS satellite radio has announced a partnership with multi-platinum recording artist Eminem, Shady Records and Interscope Records to create a hip-hop music and lifestyle channel on the SIRIUS system.

A weekly show by Eminem's DJ Green Lantern will spotlight the newest mixes, while specialty shows hosted by Eminem and acts from the Shady Records roster will offer fans the opportunity to talk directly to their favorite artists.

The channel is scheduled to debut this fall as part of the standard SIRIUS programming.

"Once upon a time not too long ago, the feds wanted all my music off the air,” Eminem said. “Now we’ll be on SIRIUS 24 hours a day, playing the best hip-hop…not just from Shady Records, but from everywhere. We’ll deliver an uncut hip-hop radio station like never before. I can’t wait to start dropping new material, exclusive tracks and uncensored hip-hop featuring me and everyone else, freely saying whatever the hell we want."

The new channel will feature music from across the hip-hop landscape along with programming specially created by leading artists and DJs.
