In 2008, Chris Carter took Breakfast With The Beatles to Little Steven’s Underground Garage on Sirius XM Satellite Radio. Carter’s Sirius/XM version of Breakfast with the Beatles is presently the only officially EMI/Apple sanctioned Beatles show on the air.
A syndicated version of the program format, Dennis Mitchell's Breakfast With The Beatles, is carried to 50 North American radio stations, one in Great Britain, one in Germany, and one in New Zealand. It is heard regularly at the Cavern Club and Hard Day's Night Hotel in Liverpool, according to manager Bill Heckle. Mitchell is a Las Vegas broadcaster who had hosted a local version of the program for 11 years prior to moving to syndication in early 2002. Mitchell's guests have included Yoko Ono, Ringo Starr, Geoff Emerick, Pete Best, Sir George Martin and many others.
There are also two other all-Beatles radio formats that air nationally, although with slightly modified names: Joe Johnson's Beatle Brunch is distributed by Dial Global while Bob Malik's The Beatle Years is carried by Compass Media Networks.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or productions:
“I foresee the time when the painter will paint that scene, no longer going to Rome for a subject; the poet will sing it; the historian record it; and, with the Landing of the Pilgrims and the Declaration of Independence, it will be the ornament of some future national gallery, when at least the present form of slavery shall be no more here. We shall then be at liberty to weep for Captain Brown. Then, and not till then, we will take our revenge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Most new things are not good, and die an early death; but those which push themselves forward and by slow degrees force themselves on the attention of mankind are the unconscious productions of human wisdom, and must have honest consideration, and must not be made the subject of unreasoning prejudice.”
—Thomas Brackett Reed (1839–1902)
