editor Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 This isn't strictly Houston media, but it's related.Since the music played on most radio stations in Texas is selected by 20-somethings running computers in Lexington, Kentucky -- satellite radio has stepped in to fill an obvious gap.From Orbitcast:Sirius is launching a new program, entitled "Deep in the Heart of Texas," that showcases the best music from the Lone Star State on Outlaw Country (ch 63).The new program features Texas music legends like Bob Wills, Ray Price, and Willie Nelson, as well as artists who are known for their Texas roots and sound, including Lefty Frizzell, Dixie Chicks, Jerry Jeff Walker, Joe Ely, Kelly Willis, James McMurtry, and Billy Joe Shaver. The show will also feature live performances and artist interviews, and also showcase the latest breaking artists on the Texas scene."Deep in the Heart of Texas" airs on Saturdays from 8pm to 12-midnight ET, with replays on Sundays from 12-midnight to 4am ET.I'm not a country music fan (though I have worked from time to time at country music stations), but it seems to me that with the Lone Star State's rich musical heritage this is long overdue.

Heck, if it was TV much of it would be "Prime time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
