[Episcopal News Service]
'Day 1,' the longest-running weekly ecumenical program on radio, debuts this week on Sirius satellite radio, airing Sundays at 10 a.m. (ET) on channel 180.
'Day 1' is produced by The Protestant Hour, Inc., in association with the Episcopal Media Center, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the United Church of Christ and the United Methodist Church.
'Together we work to share the good news of God's love over the air and through our Web site, exploring the Scriptures, offering hope and inspiration, and presenting the voice of the mainline denominations, which is too rarely heard on radio,' said Peter Wallace, executive producer.
The half-hour radio program, a winner of the George Foster Peabody Award for broadcast excellence, also is heard weekly across North America on more than 150 radio stations, on the American Forces Radio Network broadcast to servicemen and women in 175 countries around the world, and via streaming audio at www.day1.net.
Channel 180, the Sirius Trucking Network, is designed primarily to serve the trucking industry with round-the-clock programming. Launched earlier this year, it is programmed for Sirius by ABC Radio Networks and the Midnight Trucking Radio Network. Sirius uses three orbiting satellites to broadcast up to 100 channels of digital-quality radio to motorists throughout the continental United States for a monthly subscription fee of $12.95. Sirius delivers 50 channels of commercial-free music in almost every genre, and up to 50 channels of news, sports, talk, comedy and children's programming. Sirius-ready radios, tuner modules and adapters that allow any car radio to receive Sirius broadcasts, as well as home and portable products, are sold at most retailers of electronic products and through some car dealers.
