The new 24-hour channel, featuring a wide variety of music, live broadcasts of Buffett’s concerts and other unique programs, will debut this summer.

“Our subscribers requested more of Jimmy Buffett. With this new channel, we’ll bring them not just his tunes, but the music Jimmy listens to himself,” said Scott Greenstein, Sirius President of Entertainment and Sports. “Jimmy’s impeccable sense of what his audiences love and enjoy will now come to life for Sirius subscribers, who will be able to enjoy it wherever and whenever they want,”

Jimmy Buffett launched Radio Margaritaville in 1998 as an Internet-only channel, which will still be available at http://www.radiomargaritaville.com
