Hey, it's Jacque Jo. On the road. On borrowed Internets. God help me.
This blog's been a little lax lately because I've got some "workplace" restrictions and my life's been a little upside down lately.
But that's neither here nor there. I'm here to talk about one thing.
Spreading the word.
In the last post, Dan talked about the I Want My TRX campaign.
Well, really ... it's true. It's you. It starts there.
We're lucky to have the platform and the programming. It's useless unless people know about it.
So, remember that awful movie "Wayne's World"? (This may have even been "Wayne's World 2" so help me ... I'm that lame). But anyway, there was a segment of the movie that involved how rumors got started.
"They tell two friends. And then they tell two friends. And then so on. And so on. And so on."
That's what we're looking for here. We have hosts booking big-named guests. We have original comedy. We've got some of the most unique voices out there.
So tell a friend. Or two. Put stickers up somewhere. E-mail Sirius. Even if you've never heard us and you stumbled on this blog by accident ... give us a listen.
And then tell two friends.

Everyone all together now: I Want My TRX!
Hey everyone, Dan here filling in for Jacque, with a very important message for other hosts, listeners and anyone else who might read this on accident.
The Sirius/XM merger picked up a little speed when it was recently approved by the Department of Justice. This means added bandwith which potentially means more channels. Quite honestly the programmers at Sirius do a good job. I've been a subscriber since 2005 and I really enjoy it. That said there is something that is a little lacking there...the talk stations. Sure they have a few decent channels there, they are the home of Howard Stern, but past that it's bogged down with a number of news channels (do you really need CNN, Fox News, CNBC, BBC, WRN, and Bloomberg Radio?). Really now more than ever the time is right for Sirius to do something radical, something that's right, and makes sense: Add TalkRadioX!
Oh sure it may sound crazy but when you think about it, it all makes perfect sense. TRX has a small (and I mean small) handful of shortcomings, but nothing that a handful of Sirius influence couldn't fix. The shows here at the TRX I would stack against a number of shows already on Sirius. A little production value added in would make a huge difference in the TRX quality and consistency.
In February Sirius launched a political channel, Indie Talk, that relies heavily on blogs. See, they are already looking to the net for content! TRX is on the net! TRX has content! It all makes sense!
Now this pipe dream isn't going to get off the ground unless YOU (yeah, I mean you, pal) get involved and help out. That's right, you'll have to do something. But I promise, it won't be hard and it won't take long. Let Sirius know that you are serious about getting TRX on satellite radio. Send an email to non-music_prog@sirius-radio.com. Tell them "I want my TRX!". Let them know you have the solution to their programming problems. It's okay to lie a little here.
If you're really bold you can go ahead and give them a call and let them know about your favorite talk station. Call Sirius at 1-888-539-7474 .
So let Sirius know that you want your TRX! And if you do that warm feeling you get afterwards will last all day long. I promise.
