Hotel California Radio

[Scott Greczkowski]

Just found the Eagles Hotel California Radio on SiriusXM, which I understand is ending soon... and damn wish I found it sooner. Some good stuff on this channel.

What number?

Too much talking IMHO.

Joe Walsh is hosting now. I believe Joe is or was a SatelliteGuys member which is cool.

Probably similar to Yacht Rock Radio?

Actually, I find a lot of these Individual Channels to be quite interesting ...

The go into how the songs were made and why lots of time and give you history of what was happening.


Scott, I Think I heard last week that they are Extending the Hotel California's time frame.

It ended on Friday. But it was really good. And I really liked hearing some of the live concerts. The Eagles was a great band. Wish I could go see them at the Sphere.

Yes, he is, but not posted in years, and he is also a ham radio operator.

I wonder if his Maserati still does 185, or if Life's still being good to him?

Yup, it's done ... maybe they had already extended it ?

They have been known to bring channels back.

Billy Joel has been on a few times
Carrie Underwood has her channel Permanently .... well as long as she has a contract with them, it's been on for a year or 2 so far iirc.

And yet, the temporary Tom Petty Channel lives on - also a very good channel

What Channel is Tom still on now, I forgot about that one ...

As do I. There's a lot of interesting backstory and insider info that comes out if you haven't been watching them for all of the last 55 years.

I wonder who's doing all the background info for the channel, seeing it's obviously not him.

Tom had a satellite radio presence for a long time before his passing. A lot of material is probably being recycled.

From Wikipedia:

In 2005, Petty began hosting his own show "Buried Treasure" on XM Satellite Radio, on which he shared selections from his personal record collection

On November 20, 2015, the Tom Petty Radio channel debuted on SiriusXM.

Cool, I didn't know that.

Much of it comes from bandmates. The same goes, perhaps to a lesser extent, for Radio Margaritaville.
