XM Radio 40's Channel will replay D-Day broadcast

[Flying Scotsman]

For WWII history buffs and such...

Starting at 12:41 a.m. tonight, 6th June (about 15 minutes from now, Tuesday night in Los Angeles), if you have XM Radio, the 40's channel will be replaying in "real-time" the original NBC broadcasts the day of the Normandy invasion for the next 40 hours.

I'm on there now, and they are playing a Jimmy Durante song called Inka Dinka Doo. I don't hear the D-Day broadcasts or are they doing intermittenly in spurts?

It appears to be only on the satellite service. I haven't heard a D-Day report other than a brief ("today in 1944") bulletin. A shame, I signed up for the free trial exclusively because of that. Nice Tommy Dorsey number playing now though.
