Really fun! Needed that first nudge to focus. We're off the couch but not confirmed...

Edit:yay! just hit submit on this message to find the confirmation right there.

Off the couch with a Muggle nudge and now a standing ovation to Peter for this one. Excellent all around.
Now out to the garden, where these huge white plants always deserve a standing “O”

Nice to see this puzzle made crosshare’s list of top crosswords of the week!

Peter was nice enough to point me towards this meta--especially since 68A is my kind of clue!

And I am off the couch--confirmed. Very clever clues!

49. Joe Ross
50. K7 (via crosshare)
51. Sharkicicles
52. Naptown Kid
53. Jeanne C
54. joequavis

Best. Reveal. Ever!

That reminds me-- #5 Dplass is the lucky prize winner!

Woulda, coulda, shoulda seen that last step. Nice Aha!. Got stuck on 219 because some google searches returned complaints from Sirius XM subscribers that their channel range ended at 219. Was that intentional on your part, Peter?

Also, very entertaining reveal!
Sorry all, have to admit Wildfire brings positive nostalgia for me.

Same here -- Instead I was trying to count out teeny tiny letters in the Channel lineup descriptions, because I thought that confirmed Bob's needing to get his eyes checked after solving!

Wow!

Fabulous reveal!

Wow! And who else caught that "wildfire" easter egg from the "Hotlinks" puzzle a few weeks ago. I tip my proverbial hat!

Oh my goodness--that was spectacular! And this lovely group of Muggles does feel like "We are Family"!

These reveals are Sirius business.

Of course, I love the art of crafting music playlists to meet a mood. Mine at my tutoring place is wild and a hybrid of adult contemporary, pop, folk, rock, my beloved smooth jazz, and who knows what else. I got the idea several years back from Mood (formerly Muzak), whose What's Playing Now (which I've combed for inspiration often) can be found here.

I heard from a little birdie how much time and effort went into creating this fantastic reveal. Props to Kay and Peter for this wonderful day brightener!! (Almost made up for the fact that I never made it to the shore this past weekend! ) Thank you!
