News Release excerpt:

Bob Dylan's award-winning XM music show, "Theme Time Radio Hour," will
kick of its much anticipated second season on September 19. The new
season will feature the show's signature eclectic mix of songs related
to a specific theme, along with entertaining stories about the music and
topics of interest. In addition, fans of "Theme Time Radio Hour" can
expect to hear contributions from more special guests during the second
season, including Luke Wilson, Amy Sedaris, Jack White, John Cusack,
Richard Lewis and Ellen Barkin, whose sultry voice will continue to
herald the start of each "Theme Time" episode again this season.

The first episode of season two will be devoted to the theme "Hello,"
with a song list that spans "Hello, Mello Baby" by The Mardi Gras
Loungers, "Hello Trouble" by Buck Owens and "Hello in There" by John
Prine, among many others. Fans can expect to hear future episodes this
season dedicated to themes such as "Young & Old," "California,"
"Dreams," "Fruit," "Something," "Nothing," "Streets," "Parties," "Mail,"
and the 2nd Annual Countdown Show.

New episodes of "Theme Time Radio Hour," which airs Wednesdays at 10
a.m. ET on XM's "Deep Tracks" (XM 40), will also be available all day
every Wednesday on "XMX" (XM 2), a recently launched channel that
provides fans with XM's most popular and critically-acclaimed original
music shows all in one place. The XMX schedule is built around a
'program of the day' format designed to provide more opportunities to
tune in anytime and listen to episode premieres or catch up on episodes
from previous weeks or seasons.

In May 2006, Bob Dylan's "Theme Time Radio Hour," debuted to popular and
critical-acclaim exclusively on XM. Rolling Stone calls the show
"revelatory ... Dylan's song choices are impressively varied," and the
Boston Herald says of Dylan as DJ, "he's informative, funny ... his
taste is impeccable." Among the shows myriad accomplishments of the past
year, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum added the "baseball"
episode of "Theme Time Radio Hour" to its archives in June 2006.
