An outpouring of requests made by Muzak customers for Jackson’s music.

Fort Mill, SC -- (June 26, 2009) Muzak, the world’s leading provider of in-store media and branding, has announced the release of special Michael Jackson tribute programming to honor the late pop star. The programming is available to customers in response to a number of telephone and email requests.

Muzak’s satellite customers will be able to hear a different Jackson song played at the top of every hour on channels 7890 and The Boulevard, through Sunday evening. Customers with an on-premise XD player who desire the programming can order a special Jackson compellation disc by calling their Muzak representative. The disc can be rushed overnight with special Saturday delivery, and features a range of Jackson’s top hits from his dynamic 40-year career.

“We were all saddened by the loss of such a talented, versatile musician and performer,” said Steve Villa, CEO of Muzak “…and we are glad to be in a position to provide our customers with the music they are requesting to honor his memory.”

Any proceeds Muzak receives from the limited-time XD tribute programming will be donated to the Muzak Heart & Soul Foundation, which aims to further music education opportunities for children across the Untied States.
