One World will launch in early 2008 on SIRIUS Stars channel 102. A groundbreaking, weekly, one-hour call-in show, One World will be an open forum for listeners to discuss the countless issues around the world that demand attention - but that have never before had such a platform.

Sachs has devoted his life's work to world issues such as hunger, disease, poverty, climate change, AIDS, malaria, politics and economic reform. Sachs works closely with world leaders, politicians, and high-profile individuals to develop policy and practices for meeting the Millennium Development Goals, and inspire others to get involved. On the show, Dr. Sachs and his guests will explore these significant issues, offering expert advice and suggestions on how everyone can make a difference while also giving listeners an opportunity to share their ideas and experiences.

"SIRIUS' programming is defined by shows like One World: exclusive, thought-provoking and engaging, and the time for this show is now," said Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS' President Entertainment and Sports. "With the presidential election fast approaching and growing interest in international issues, we are thrilled to bring Dr. Jeffrey Sachs' path-breaking voice to a global audience. One World will inspire people across the planet to work towards peace and change."

"The world's citizens face some incredible challenges but also have never had a better ability to join together and overcome them," said Dr. Jeffrey Sachs. "I hope that, with the national, and even global, reach SIRIUS affords my show, we can empower listeners to truly make a difference."

One World joins an exclusive, diverse and compelling lineup of talk shows on SIRIUS hosted by personalities such as Senator Bill Bradley, Deepak Chopra, and Barbara Walters.

Dr. Jeffrey Sachs is currently a Professor and Director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University and Special Advisor to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon. Sachs is known for his work as an economic advisor to governments in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa as well as for his work with international agencies on problems of poverty reduction, debt cancellation, and disease control, particularly HIV/AIDS, for the developing world. He is the author of the bestselling book The End of Poverty.
