Fans of the off-color antics from Noreaga and DJ EFN’s “Militainment Crazy Raw Radio” will now get to hear the program in a bigger outlet, as AllHipHop.com confirmed the show has been picked up as part of the Sirius/XFM merger.
Subscribers of both Sirius and XFM satellite radio will be able to hear the broadcast, which has now been extended to two hours.
Co-host N.O.R.E. was relieved when the news broke, since many shows have not survived the merger due to budget constraints and limited timeslots.
“I was so happy, excited, and scared at the same time when I heard about Sirius and XFM merging,” Noreaga explained to AllHipHop.com. “I just got the news of the merger and when they said they were not only keeping my show but also they were expanding it to 2 hours…I was overwhelmed and happy.”
The show will now air on Thursday nights from 12:00 am - 2:00 am on Hip-Hop Nation, and features Noreaga, Miami mixtape king DJ EFN, Hazardis Soundz, and DJ K-N-S.
A number of other shows have carried over as a result of the merger, was made official in February and created a $13 billion dollar enterprise.
The new company has streamlined both services to feature 69 commercial-free music channels, although each service’s channels have different programming.
