Heard about it on AG and found this article. Sorry it's long, but I don't think the link will work because I'm using a university's database.
HEADLINE: Goo Goo Dolls Headline SIRIUS BMW Channel 18-Hour Marathon Broadcast on May 6th;
Dozens of Best Driving Songs of All Time and BMW '3 Across America' Travelogues Precede Exclusive Live Performance
DATELINE: WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. May 5
BODY:
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Rock sensation the Goo Goo Dolls will headline an unprecedented 18-hour marathon of unique programming on a special SIRIUS Satellite Radio BMW channel. Preceding the Goo Goo Dolls live performance, to be broadcast from Los Angeles, the 18-hour marathon will showcase dozens of the best driving songs of all time and a series of "travelogues," vignettes from the road gathered during a historic grassroots 44-day cross country tour dubbed "3 Across America." The broadcast celebrates the May 6th US on-sale date of BMW's New 3 Series.
The partnership between BMW and SIRIUS marks the first time an automaker has used satellite radio to launch a new vehicle.
The Goo Goo Dolls will perform live from the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, with the concert broadcast in real time on "BMW Channel" 126 from 10:30 PM to 11:30 PM (ET). The concert will also air on The Pulse // Channel 9, pop music from the 90's and today.
"The 3 Series is all about high energy excitement and fast-paced fun," remarked Wayne Schulte, Media Communications Manager, BMW of North America. "That's also a great way to describe the music of the Goo Goo Dolls, known to millions for their hits like 'Iris,' 'Name' and 'Slide' among others. We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate the end of our cross-country tour then to have a world-class rock band kick off the US sales debut of a world- class automobile with an exclusive concert event that brings it all together."
BMW and SIRIUS say the 18-hour broadcast will be part cultural diary, and part entertainment, with the Goo Goo Dolls simulcast as its centerpiece.
The broadcast begins at 6:00 AM (ET) on May 6th as anchors Sal D'Aleo and Elise Brown kick off BMW Radio on SIRIUS with an energetic four hours sharing a love of driving, cars, and music. Knowing what it's like to roll down the windows and turn up the radio, Sal and Elise also double as tour guides on a city-by-city travelogue of BMW's "3 Across America," mixing music with stories from each city and interviews with attendees.
Anchoring the second set will be Jon Thomas and Greg Schweizer showcasing their own style and energy, as they creatively match upbeat driving songs to the regions they discuss. For instance, when the spotlight is on Detroit, songs by Detroit artists like the Spencer Davis Group or Mitch Ryder will inevitably be played.
Jon and Greg will be followed by Mitch Todd, both a passionate car enthusiast and radio announcer, playing the best driving songs of all time and-in his own words-celebrating the spirit of the road and the songs we love to drive to.
From 6:30 to 10:30 PM (ET), Ken Silverstein -- who drove across country with the 3 Across America tour -- will recall the most notable highlights of the 44-day road trip. Expect him to reveal his funniest stories from the road, the most interesting person he met and the city with the most surprises. Supplementing these insights, the DJs will continue to play great driving music. Of special note, joining Ken in the later hours will be Mark Goodman, the Original MTV VJ, as the broadcast continues live from the Petersen Automotive Museum.
The 18-hour marathon will culminate at 10:30 PM (ET) when Mark Goodman introduces the Goo Goo Dolls, live in concert and exclusively broadcast on SIRIUS.
The Goo Goo Dolls, who released a special live CD/DVD package titled Live in Buffalo; July 4, 2004 last November, are currently in the studio working on their eighth studio album to be released on Warner Bros. Records later this year.
By partnering with SIRIUS, BMW is tapping into a market of like-minded consumers that value new technology and novel communication techniques. SIRIUS currently has over 1.24 million subscribers.
