RoadStar Radio News is among the trucking programming coming to XM Satellite Radio.

Thursday at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky., XM announced it will carry RoadStar Radio News as well as additional trucker-oriented programming on its Open Road channel.
RoadStar Radio New will air daily. These 3-minute radio broadcasts focus on the latest industry news and information from Newport Communications, the publishers of RoadStar and Heavy Duty Trucking magazines and the web site Truckinginfo.com. Produced and anchored by award-winning trucking journalist Evan Lockridge, RoadStar Radio News is directed at the nation's 3 million truckers and another 6 million people who work in the industry.
“We couldn’t be more excited to have RoadStar Radio News on XM, and this should be a real plus for drivers,” said RRN anchor Evan Lockridge. “We began our broadcasts in 1999 because no one else was offering up to date trucking news. With the addition of RoadStar Radio News to XM, truckers can get breaking news about their industry anywhere in the country.”
XM also announced that it is now carrying The Dave Nemo Show, which airs daily from 7 a.m. - 12 p.m Eastern. The program includes call-ins from truckers across the country as well as several features of interest to the over-the-road truckers and Nemo's music mix of upbeat, edgy country with plenty of trucking songs.
XM also announced a new feature on its Open Road channel, the addition of NASCAR updates. Open Road will broadcast daily NASCAR updates direct from XM's exclusive NASCAR channel, NASCAR Radio.
XM says it will also carry truck safety news from Julie Cirillo, Chief Safety Officer of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, outlining new regulations and policy updates.
This news comes an XM was awarded the 2002 Technical Achievement Award from the Truck Writers of North America. Selected by a committee of veteran journalists, the award celebrates the technical excellence of a new product or service that advances the trucking industry. This year breaks ground in the award's 12-year history by honoring a service rather than a traditional piece of hardware.
