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:
“All experience teaches that, whenever there is a great national establishment, employing large numbers of officials, the public must be reconciled to support many incompetent men; for such is the favoritism and nepotism always prevailing in the purlieus of these establishments, that some incompetent persons are always admitted, to the exclusion of many of the worthy.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“If you think it will only add one sprig to the wreath the country twines to bind the brows of my hero, I will run the risk of being sneered at by those who criticize female productions of all kinds. ...Though a female, I was born a patriot.”
—Annie Boudinot Stockton (1736–1801)
