September 29, 2003 — Sirius Satellite Radio is concerned about The Bottom Line. Not the company's profitability, but the venerable Greenwich Village music cabaret, which has suffered since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Since that fateful day, the club's business has fallen off to the point that it was facing eviction by its landlord, New York University. In September, Sirius stepped in with an offer to provide financial support to help the club continue operating. "Sirius has pledged funds to help the club with past obligations and future expenses," according to a September 24 press release. The satellite service broadcasts the show Live From The Bottom Line to its subscribers several times a week. Its financial support stayed the eviction for at least 30 days, while a new lease is negotiated.
