ArizonaEaglesFan found this and posted the link in another thread. But this is such big news that I thought I'd start a new thread for it. Here is the link to the Billboard article posted below.

Clear Channel Radio and Front Line Management are creating artist personal experience (a.p.e.) radio, a stand-alone company that will allow musicians to produce their own online radio shows, Billboard can exclusively reveal. The channels will run 24 hours a day and play songs chosen by the artist, interviews and commentary. The program will launch in July with the Eagles, Christina Aguilera and Weezer.

I hope I'll be able to get it from the official website perhaps. It sounds great.

How much involvement will they actually have and how long will it last? When they redesigned their official website that was a big event too. Will all four band members participate?

Thanks for the update and links, FFL. I'm still not sure how this works - right now it appears as if Joe is the only one providing any commentary. I don't know if did an interview and they will play snippets throughout the day or what? Anyone got a clue?

Thanks for the heads up! Just put it on the blog!

ETA: Funny that it is on the anniversary of the Eagles' last show before breaking up back in 1980!

I have it going right now and when I first brought it up it was playing Ringo Starr and now LITFL is playing. This could be really fun to listen to ALL the time. Can't wait to hear Joe to find out what that's all about. Love all the photos also!! Thanks AEF for the find!

ETA: Been listening now for about an hour, have only heard 1 Eagles song, a couple Beatles solo stuff, Allman Brothers and quite a bit of great music. No Joe yet but in between songs, an announcer came on and said that all this music had been picked by Joe. So maybe that's all there is to it and no interviews? That would be somewhat of a bummer, but the music is really good stuff so far. Joe and I must have our music taste in common.

Corrected ---Joe just had a brief comment between songs, "you are listening to Eagles radio on your computer, iphone, blackberry or pacemaker on iheartradio." Tee hee, "pacemaker", he made a funny!
And a brief interview, says he's still working on his craft and always will be. Now playing Tequila Sunrise!! Yay-- another Eagles tune. I think I'm going to like this!
