What does it take to create a satellite radio channel? How does it get pitched to XM and Sirus?

Question

I was just wondering on how people can pitch an idea for a channel for satellite radio. Since XM and Sirius may merge it can lead to new programming. Does anyone know to get a hold of them to pitch ideas for a new channel? Input will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I think it's quite the opposite. After the merger, there will be fewer individual shows because there is so much duplication of conceptual content.

As to how you'd pitch your idea, put together a proffessional proposal with a sample tape and send to the contact address for both services (available on their respective web sites). But don't hold your breathe - just being candid.
