Night Prowl Show

It’s an annual event, so spike the nog, turn up the XM and get ready to hear from every Night Prowler. Yes, everyone’s invited to THIS Christmas party. The music’s gonna be great, but that goes without saying. Since it was such a hit last year, I’ll be playing “Christmas In Jail” by The Youngsters every hour on the hour. Yum Yum will stop by with another “Yum” interpretation of a classic Christmas story. This is one show that’ll make you proud to be an XM subscriber.

Friday, December 22 from 7pm – 11pm EST
