Satellite radio as we know it began in the 1990s, with its major players launching satellite radio services in the early 2000s. Brian Fauteux, Associate Professor of Popular Music and Media Studies at University of Alberta joins us on the show to discuss the fascinating history and relevance of satellite radio to both radio culture and the music industry. Brian is the author of the new book, \u201cMusic in Orbit: Satellite Radio in the Streaming Space Age,\u201d released in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Show Notes:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucpress.edu\/books\/music-in-orbit\/paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Music in Orbit: Satellite Radio in the Streaming Space Age<\/a> (UC Press)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brianfauteux.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brian Fauteux<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siriusxm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SiriusXM<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siriusxm.com\/channels\/hbcu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HBCU channel<\/a> on SiriusXM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/aquariumdrunkard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aquarium Drunkard<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siriusxm.com\/channels\/siriusxmu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sirius XMU<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spinningindie.blogspot.com\/2008\/10\/behind-scenes-of-xmus-student-exchange.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Behind the Scenes of XMU&#8217;s &#8220;Student Exchange Program&#8221;<\/a> (SpinningIndie)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiosurvivor.com\/2016\/03\/radio-2-0-uploading-first-broadcast-medium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matthew Lasar on &#8220;Radio 2.0&#8221;<\/a> (Radio Survivor)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbury.com\/us\/radio-20-9781440832437\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Radio 2.0: Uploading the First Broadcast Medium<\/a> by Matthew Lasar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flashback Radio Survivor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiosurvivor.com\/author\/brian-fauteux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">articles<\/a> by Brian Fauteux circa 2014-2016!
