Lou Reed to host satellite radio show on Sirius

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc

Dubbed "Lou Reed's New York Shuffle," the free-form radio
show will premiere on Saturday at 7 p.m. EST on Sirius'
Disorder channel 70.

"For years, I've always been a fan of eclectic radio, such
as FM radio in the past when you could hear stations play
widely divergent music, ranging from rock to country to jazz to
opera," Reed said in a statement. "We will try to bring Sirius'
listeners audio from all parts of the world that covers the
whole musical spectrum."

Reed will co-host the show with Hal Willner, who was a
musical director on "Berlin," a theatricalized concert version
of Reed's 1973 album of the same name. The film opens in New
York and Los Angeles on July 18.

Other recording artists with Sirius shows include punk
veterans David Johansen and Marky Ramone, E Street Band
guitarist Steven Van Zandt, folk rocker Steve Earle, and B-52s
frontman Fred Schneider.
