Monty Python Radio to Launch on SIRIUS XM Radio

NEW YORK, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) announced today that it will launch Monty Python Radio, a 24/7 channel devoted to, and hosted by, the iconic British comedy troupe.

The limited-run channel will premiere on Friday, October 16, the day after the stars receive a Special Award from The British Academy of Film and Television Arts event at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City, and will run for ten full days featuring classic Python sketches, skits and, songs; fans calling in with requests; fans and celebrities telling favorite sketches and Python memories; and various members of the original Python troupe reminiscing and talking of new projects.

The 24/7 channel will showcase comedic bits from Monty Python's Flying Circus television show, including the legendary segments "Spam," "Nudge Nudge," "Killer Joke," "Argument Clinic," "Cheese Shop" and unexpected skits like "The Spanish Inquisition," and tracks from the troupe's various albums, including Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album, Matching Tie and Handkerchief, Monty Python's Life of Brian, Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life and Monty Python Sings.

Monty Python fans can request their favorite skits during the "Monty Python Request Shows" airing regularly throughout the ten days. During this segment, fans will take the stage as they share their memories and tell their stories about watching Python.

"This is the first time that the Pythons have had their very own radio channel and we are proud to honor their 40th anniversary, and complete their invasion of North America, by creating with them Monty Python Radio," said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SIRIUS XM Radio.

Monty Python Radio will air through Sunday, October 25 on SIRIUS channel 105 and XM channel 151.

Well, Monty Python is now 40 yrs old.
IFC celebrates Monty Python's 40th anniversary (http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/ifc-celebrates-monty-python-s-40th-anniversary-1.1527399)
with a "docu-series" as well as showing the old shows.

Last week the remaining members of the troupe appeared on Jimmy Fallon's show,
and XM 151 has temporarily become Monty Python Radio.

I absolutely love Python humor. It can be alternatively very intellectual and very silly.

Some of the Circus stuff is dated, as it is based on TV of the late 60s/70s, and there is a lot of WWII jokes, as during that time WWII was still recent enough, but other stuff is universal.

They have the entire series on netflix you can stream online.

Fantastic stuff.

151 has been perfect for when The Virus goes to break. Bringing back great memories, and no more listening to those God awful ads on 202.

If you're in NYC (or close and motivated) Friday and Saturday nights at midnight the IFC Center is running Python films. Includes Brazil and Jabberwocky!

I tried watching the documentary on IFC this weekend - but the sound was not synced up right! It was too annoying to watch people talk as if they were in a bad Japanese dubbed movie.

Just noticed that the Sirius channel is censoring some of the sketches. Stupid Laugh USA and its non-XL ways.
