Orange Park Radio used to play nothing but Prince 24/7 until they got a cease and desist order. I hope they will start playing P. again.

Last time I heard it goes off after tomorrow. If it's still on after this weekend maybe they'll keep it "poimainent"

There use to be two 24/7 Prince online radio stations (running out of germany?) that closed down a few months ago. I loved them. Tons of album stuff along with a bunch of live bootleg material.

SiriusXM just announced on Twitter the channel is being extended until May 13th.

While I too would like for it to be permanent I hope it wouldn't be at the cost of losing "The Groove" (the channel it's currently occupying) because it's like late 70's and 80's era Black radio complete with the deep cuts and album tracks, not just the hits.

Yes he does and since they keep extending the tribute channel it must be successful. I listen while working and for the most part like the mix they have been playing. I am hopeful.

Good! Hopefully, they'll extend it even longer. My "mourning" period's long over but I've been loving the hell out of SiriusXM 50. Yesterday, they played "1+1..." live from One Night Alone and that joint was jamming! Deep cuts, affiliated cuts (Ta Mara and the Seen?!?!?), bootlegs, live joints that I've never heard, 12 inch extended joints...I'm sorry, but the Prince channel is like...possibly the best thing that Sirius XM's ever done and that's saying alot. Good ass music Prince jams 24/7- don't know when or if I'll get tired of it.

I agree. I have been really enjoying the channel. I do not listen all the time but even I am surprised that they are manging to play some real deep tracks. If it did become permanent I would love it if they would play full length concerts once in a while. Similar to what they do on te Dead channel.

I'm listening to it right now on my tv and they have been playing so many good songs. Even ones that I haven't heard before. I hope they make it a permament channel

I absolutely love E Street Radio on my Sirius XM in my car and have always felt that if anyone deserved a station like that, it was Prince. Any one of us could probably program a week's worth of weekly features for a station like this. Like the Springsteen channel, there could be a covers show and regular broadcasts of live shows. Guest celebrities playing and talking about their favorite tracks. And I would most definitely give our boys at the Peach and Black Podcast their own regular show. I haven't really listened much to the Petty or Elvis stations, but it seems to me that you have to have some stories to tell - some folklore - in addition to a huge catalogue and live and unreleased recordings, to pull off a channel like this. No question that it could be done with Prince, especially when you add in all of the artists he wrote for!

I could totally see Prince being against a station like this while he was alive. Now that he's gone, maybe the estate could see this as a way of getting some vault stuff out there in a somewhat controlled manner. You could premiere a track every now and then on the Prince station, etc.

Anyone wanna name it?
