Sirius added five new channels today, none of which will ever taint my receiver presets.
Heh heh..."taint."
Blue Collar Comedy Channel
Featuring the Blue Collar Comedy of Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, Kathleen Madigan, Lisa Lampanelli, Ralphie May and many more, showcasing their enormously successful movies, tours, CDs, TV programs and books.
Madigan is a bit of a stretch, and Lisa Lampanelli certainly hits the racial slur high notes so favored by blue collar comedy fans, but her routine is much more tongue-in-cheek than just that. Guess they needed some females to round out the sausage fest that is the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.
And I notice Ron White is conspicuously absent. Guess he should've developed a catchphrase, something that never gets tiresome, like "Git-R-Done" or "Here's your sign" or "You might be a redneck if..." That, my friend, is comedy.
Now that they've been sequestered in their own little lily white corner of satellite radio, this means I don't have listen to Bill Engvall's unlistenable "family friendly" crap and Ralphie May's whiteboy ebonics shtick on the other comedy channels, right?
Fox News / Fox News Talk
Mmm. My cup runneth over.
Cosmo Radio
Advice on love, sex, and relationships; tips on beauty, fitness and fashion; the latest celebrity gossip; and the news you need to be the most informed girl at the water cooler. Cosmo Radio takes you to the velvet ropes with our editors at special events and lets you listen (if you dare!) to guys giving their uncensored opinions on dating and relationships. Plus, you'll hear extra editions of your favorite columns, like Ask Him Anything, Bedside Astrologer, and Guy Spy.
Heaven forbid you actually read a newspaper or listen to the BBC to become the "most informed girl at the water cooler."
Shit, you don't have to sign up for Sirius to hear "uncensored opinions" on dating and relationships, either. Just pay me for gas and I'll take you to the local SRO Sports Bar. You'll get an earful, believe me.
Playboy Radio
Q. What will be the content on the Playboy channel?
A. Playboy Radio features a full range of new live programming created for SIRIUS, such as a new morning show that will include segments with Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, live call-in shows and broadcasts from the Playboy Mansion. Playboy Radio on SIRIUS will be Playboy's most extensive foray into radio, producing more than four times the content of previous radio ventures to keep listeners entertained morning, noon and night. Aimed at the same mature, sophisticated audience that Playboy Magazine helped to define, Playboy Radio encompasses the entire array of what Playboy is: Hef, The Mansion, The Playmates, The Girls Next Door, the Magazine, and Playboy TV. Care to talk live with a real Playboy Bunny? You can on this channel! From the lifestyle of the sophisticated gentleman, to the inner secrets of an adult star -- if you want it, you'll find it on Playboy Radio.
I hope they can land ace correspondents Scott Baio and Danny Bonaduce to describe in detail all the giant silicone breasts bouncing around them. Nothing is more indicative of Playboy's continued cutting edge grasp of the adult entertainment industry than featuring semi- or fully naked women on a medium where absolutely no one can see them.
That's good radio.
Hey, it's worked pretty well for Howard Stern.
I'm no Stern devotee, but the shows I've listened to of his have featured at least two or three actual interviewees for every naked porn star. Whether that ration held up in the early years, I couldn't tell you.

And since you brought your favorite "blue collar" "comedians", I thought this might grist your mill a bit today.
