SATELLITE RADIO

Is the satellite radio show starring Bob Dylan up in the air?
Late last year, XM Satellite Radio announced with much fanfare that the enigmatic bard of rock would launch a weekly show in March for which he would hand-pick the music, interview peers and share his insights.
But the calendar shows that March has ended — and there’s no Dylan on the XM dial.
„It’s definitely going to happen, but it’s taking a little longer than originally planned,“ XM spokeswoman Anne-Taylor Griffith said. „Bob is super-involved in the show, and, like with everything he does, he wants it to be just a certain way, and it’s taking some time.
„We’ve already received several episodes of the show, and they’re absolutely fantastic.“
With the 64-year-old Dylan moving at his chosen speed, the show is expected to premiere in early May.
This month, XM will announce the show’s title and schedule; and release sample playlists, which Griffith described as „amazing“ surveys of music both new and vintage.
klingt vielversprechend !!
