Jim Ladd

SIRIUS XM RADIO will add JIM LADD to host a daily free-form music show on DEEP TRACKS, channel 27. The live show will air nightly starting in JANUARY 2012. LADD exited CUMULUS Rock KLOS/LOS ANGELES as part of OCTOBER cuts at the station (NET NEWS 10/26). 

"I am thrilled to bring the JIM LADD free-form rock radio show to SIRIUSXM. By joining SIRIUSXM, I will be bringing my 'free-form' show nationwide," said LADD. "Traditional FM radio has turned its back on the very thing that made rock radio the magical experience it was intended to be. SIRIUSXM is kicking down the doors of the stagnant, preprogrammed fodder that passes for radio today by encouraging me to do my free-form show so we can all share this experience live as it happens."

"I will be playing everything I want, from PINK FLOYD to TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS, from THE DOORS to MOBY GRAPE, freely and with no playlists. As I have always done throughout my career, I will be choosing all my own music, creating thematic sets, inviting the biggest rock stars in the world, many of whom I am proud to call my friends, to join me in the studio, and commenting on the world around us by using the most compelling music of our time. I'll also be taking phone calls from listeners all across America and instantly communicating with my audience through social media networks to help spread the word that true free-form rock radio is back and more powerful than ever."

"JIM LADD is a classic rock radio icon who turned curating a list of songs into an art form. We are proud and excited to welcome his free-form style to SiriusXM," said SIRIUSXM Pres./CCO SCOTT GREENSTEIN.
