-----------November 14, 2005Singing News Fan Awards on XMSinging News announced today that the 2005 Fan Awards will be broadcast on two XM channels this coming Monday, November 21 at 9:00 (EST). The channels are XM10 "America" (which is available over XM satelite and DirecTV) and XM34 "enLighten" (which is available only if you have XM online or DirectTV Ch. 828 with a premier package). What's strange is that it's going out on both XM channels at the exact same time. I haven't figured out their logic for doing that. Anyone who can get XM's enLighten can also get America. It would make more sense to stagger the times on the channels, so that people in the Eastern US aren't up until 1 AM trying to hear it all. Promising "four hours," it appears the broadcast will be in all of its glory rather than picking the most pertinent parts and removing the silliness. Singing News touts the Tim Lovelace/Tim Surrett presentation (which culminated with Surrett literally breaking the podium according to the Solid Gospel feed I heard) as if it was a highlight. Speaking of Solid Gospel, I'm hoping it's not the Solid Gospel feed that they're going to air, but rather just the actual awards (with dead air hopefully edited out). There's enough corniness in the awards themselves without adding to it a DJ who pronounces Whisnants as "Whiz-nuts" and says there'll be a spelling test later...or who gives out wrong information such as saying Les Beasley started NQC. Anyway, if you have XM or DirecTV (which adds XM channels on November 15), I thought you might want to tune in. Labels: NQC
