XM launches POTUS radio station

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- For the first time, a national radio station will be devoted to the U.S. presidential race 24 hours a day, seven days a week, XM Satellite Radio said.

Named for a term used by White House staff for President of the United States, POTUS is a commercial-free station that airs nationwide on XM satellite radio and allows listeners across the country to hear news and commentary around the clock about the campaign.

The station is broadcast for free to all XM radios on channel 130, but those who don't have an XM radio can go online and listen for free for two weeks by going to xmradio.com/potus, the satellite radio company said in a statement.

POTUS will stop broadcasting in January 2009 when the new president takes office.
