Satellite Radio Choral Music?

Good day everyone,
 
This is something of a wild hare but here goes.  I just got off the phone with a Sirius Radio representative.  I asked if there was anyone to talk to about having a choral station on Sirius.  She said the question can be pursued at this e-mail address.

The thought occured to me that it might be possible to broadcast the ACDA station via satellite radio. Anyone interested in this idea

 I think this is a fabulous idea. I know on the Symphony Hall channel (I think 78) on Sunday, they have choral music but they used to have a station called Vox totally committed to vocal music. It was then under XM. 
 
Thank you for bringing this up and I hope you get a huge response.

 The Vox channel on XM's satellite service was all I listened to.  There were Shaw recordings, Dale Warland Singers, lots of great music.  It was a sad day when SIRIUS changed the lineup to 24-hour opera.  If they consented to our ACDA station I know where my preset will go!

Great idea!  Perhaps current as well as archived ACDA Regional and National performances could be aired.  If this should come to pass, a weekly posting of proposed programming would be helpful.

I was unaware that Sirius used to have a vocal station other than the Met.  I have written to ACDA and Sirius to see if anyone wants to pursue this.
