[Ads-l] Wordplay: All things Beatles, 24/8

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

Satellite radio company SiriusXM has a channel focused on the Beatles.
The description of the channel does not say 24/7 (24 hours 7 days a
week). The description says 24/8.

I guess this is wordplay (or numberplay) based on the band’s 1964 song
"Eight Days a Week", but I am not sure. Perhaps a list member has an
alternative interpretation.
