Sirius Satellite Radio has stepped up its talk program, announcing plans Tuesday to broadcast interviews from Gotham’s “92nd Street Y” series starting early next year.
The satcaster will offer its 5.1 million subscribers archival interviews dating back to 1949, which over the years have included presidents, sports figures, actors, writers and musicians—including Bill Clinton, Katie Couric, John Travolta, Paul McCartney, Henry Kissinger, Jay Leno, Annette Bening and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
“It’s one of the real uncovered gems of archives and there’s huge content,” said Sirius’ entertainment prexy Scott Greenstein. “These interviews today are as vibrant as they ever have been.”
