Spitzer resigned his post Wednesday.

NEW YORK (CNN) — For those who can't get enough of the sex scandal that brought down New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, Sirius Satellite Radio has launched what it is calling "Client 9 Radio," a special channel dedicated to covering all aspects of the Spitzer saga.

The new station began broadcasting Friday at 5 p.m. ET, the company announced. Programming will continue only until midnight on March 17, a statement from Sirius said.

Spitzer resigned Thursday after a federal probe looking into suspicious money transfers linked him to a prostitution ring.

He apologized for not living up to expectations, but did not admit to anything specific. Spitzer has not been charged with any crime.

The new channel was launched in response to strong interest shown by Sirius' audiences in the story, the company said.

It will offer a "forum for this national conversation," where listeners are invited to call in and discuss all aspects of the story.

Additionally, "Client 9 Radio" will offer segments produced with Sirius commentators and experts, such as Judith Regan and Bill Bennett, the statement said.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — In his first public words about the Justice Department investigation involving New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Friday that he had become aware of the case only recently, and stressed that he played no role in decisions to pursue the prostitution ring that ensnared Spitzer.

"I learned a couple of weeks ago," Mukasey said. "… I did learn of it, but it was informational, not a matter of authority."

The attorney general stressed the U.S. attorney offices report directly to the deputy attorney general, not to him.

Aides to Mukasey said earlier this week U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia in New York, where the investigation is centered, did not seek authorization from the deputy attorney general — nor in this case did he have to do so.

As the investigation culminated, Acting Deputy Attorney General Craig Morford was leaving the post, and newly confirmed Deputy Mark Filip was arriving at the Justice Department.

Mukasey emphasized that no charges have yet been brought against Spitzer.

"We have no case against Eliott Spitzer. We have a case in which people have been charged, in which it has been alleged that he was customer — number 9 is, I think, the designation. That's all we have. I underline: no case against Eliot Spitzer."

A senior Justice Department official promptly stressed that Mukasey was simply referring to the fact that no charges against Spitzer have been brought by his New York prosecutors, and his comments should not be taken to suggest that charges will or will not be brought against Spitzer.

Mukasey made his comments in response to a question from CNN's Paula Newton as he spoke to reporters at the London School of Economics, where he met with British officials to discuss international crime and counter-terrorism issues.

(CNN) — Sources familiar with the investigation tell CNN investigators have identified at least eight instances in which Eliot Spitzer used the Emperors Club VIP over the past several years but are still examining the records to see if there are more.

They say Spitzer began using Emperors Club VIP about eight months ago.

A criminal investigation began when North Fork Bank notified the U.S. Treasury Department about suspicious activity regarding his bank accounts, the sources said. The suspicious activity involved the transfer of money to shell companies identified as having links to the prostitution ring, they said.

(CNN) — If New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigns, Lt. Gov. David Paterson stands to become the first African-American governor of the state and the fourth in U.S. history.

Paterson, 53, is legally blind, and although documentation is scarce, it is widely believed that he would be the nation's first blind governor.

Paterson was first elected to the New York State Senate in 1985, where he represented the 30th District, encompassing Harlem, East Harlem and the Upper West Side.

As New York attorney general, Eliot Spitzer, seen in 2004, was known for tackling corruption.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The allegations bearing down on New York's governor didn't start with a prostitute — despite lurid details in a federal affidavit detailing an alleged tryst with a "very pretty brunette" named Kristen last month.

Rather, sources familiar with the investigation said Tuesday that Gov. Eliot Spitzer's troubles began with a federal money-laundering probe.

Prosecutors unsealed an affidavit that details a rendezvous in a Washington hotel room between a prostitute and "Client 9," who a source with knowledge of the case said Monday was Spitzer.

NEW YORK (CNN) — Before Monday, Eliot Spitzer was a rising star in the Democratic Party — his squeaky-clean image as a corruption buster led to his being mentioned as a potential vice-presidential candidate and possibly even a future White House contender.

Now, after federal investigators have linked the New York governor to a top-dollar prostitution ring, political advisers are split over whether Spitzer has any political future at all.

"There's no way he can survive it," said Ed Rollins, a Republican political consultant and adviser to former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. "All the facts aren't out there, but as they're being reported, there's no way you can survive.
