They have already serviced the single digitally to radio via www.AirplayDirect.com.

On A Capitol Fourth, Steve and the Steep Canyon Rangers will be joining host Jimmy Smits and musicians Josh Groban, Matthew Morrison (Glee), Jordin Sparks (American Idol,) Little Richard, Kelli O’Hara, the Broadway cast of Million Dollar Quartet and the National Symphony Orchestra.  The live concert audience (8 – 9:30 p.m.) will draw hundreds of thousands, millions more at home via PBS, and will be broadcast to service members around the world on American Forces Network.  It can also be heard live in stereo over NPR member stations nationwide.
