Now that the pending merger of XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio is in the news, it struck me that the time had come to write a “Sightings” column about Theme Time Radio Hour, the radio show that Bob Dylan hosts each Wednesday morning on XM’s Deep Tracks channel. It is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting and original music-oriented shows on radio, and the fact that it is produced by XM strikes me as no less worthy of note.
Is Bob Dylan bringing us a taste of the future of satellite radio–or a relic from the distant past of terrestrial radio? To find out, pick up a copy of Saturday’s Wall Street Journal, turn to the new “Lifestyle” section, and check out “Sightings.”
