As the subject says, the Beach Boys were on the 60’s on Six all day today, in celebration of the first day of Summer 2005. This is something that I really like about XM Radio. They can take the time out to run cool specials like this. You would never hear a FM station do something like this. In some markets, you can’t get an FM station to play oldies….

As much as I like XM Radio for running fun specials like that, I found out about today’s special on my way home to pick up Margaret at 5PM. Not a whole lot of time to enjoy it. It would be really nice if there was some way for XM Radio to let its listeners know about upcoming specials. I know they have a newsletter, but my understanding is that it doesn’t cover enough and isn’t timely. I’m also subscribed to a list that sends my the XM show schedules each week, but it suffers from the opposite problem: too much detail!

What would be idea is a XM Radio RSS feed that would be updated to let the listeners know about upcoming special events… Are you listening XM?
