XM Announces Expanded Nashville Studio Presence
XM held a party in Nashville Monday night to announce its expanded presence in Nashville. According to Joyce Rizer, Executive Producer of Country for XM, the event was held in the Rotunda of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Just over 200 guests attended, including label heads Joe Galante, Tim Dubois and John Grady and artists Charlie Daniels, Mark Chesnutt, Doug Stone and Miranda Lambert.
All invited guests received a complimentary XM MyFi.
XM announced it will add two new studios to its existing space in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, located in Nashville. Construction for the studio expansion is set to begin later this year.
“XM has always had a deep commitment to country music and the city of Nashville, and we’re proud to be increasing that commitment with this major expansion of our studios at the Country Music Hall of Fame,” said XM’s Executive Vice President of Programming Eric Logan. “Looking ahead, we are particularly excited to be working with some of the most important artists in the industry on our upcoming slate of exclusive country music specials.”
The announcement of XM’s Nashville studio expansion comes prior to the debut of new original country music programs, featuring some of the industry’s most accomplished performers, including Shania Twain, Reba McEntire, Bill Anderson, Marty Stuart and Brad Paisley.
Shania Twain will host and narrate a six-part series that chronicles her life and music from a young girl in Ontario to her rise to mega-stardom in the 1990s. The Shania Twain series will debut on XM in summer 2005.
“I am very excited that my music and career will be showcased on XM this summer,” said Twain. “Through the years I have always tried to find new ways to present my music and my story to my fans. I'm excited to explore this long-form interview concept and bring something unique and different to the table with this 6-part series on XM.”
Also this summer, XM will present “The Long Haul: The History of Modern Country Music.” Hosted by Bill Anderson, Marty Stuart and Brad Paisley, “The Long Haul” will play every available song that reached the Top 30 country music charts from 1940 through 2004.
In early fall 2005, XM will honor Reba McEntire, broadcasting a complete musical retrospective of her career. XM will play every Reba McEntire record leading up to the release of her new album, also premiering on XM.
