SiriusXM just released a list of brand-new channels as well as announced numerous changes to their lineup, app and overall brand identity.
The 10 new channels will debut throughout the rest of 2023 and early 2024. They include a lineup of new shows, artists and genre-specific playlists.
New SiriusXM channels
New year-round artist-focused channels include the Kelly Clarkson Connection (channel 12), Shaggy’s Boombastic Radio on (ch 332), and Smokey’s Soul Town on (ch 74). These channels are also available on the SiriusXM app starting today.
Additionally, Dolly’s Rockstar Radio will be available for a limited time on channel 14 from Nov.15 to Nov. 21 and on the app from Nov. 15 to Dec. 14.
These four channels will all focus on not only the artists music but also music and genres that they love and that inspire them.
Three channels will feature new shows and podcasts. These channels are, a new audiochuck channel curated by Ashley Flowers, Life with John Mayer premiering Nov 22 (ch 14), and This Life of Mine with James Corden which will premiere in 2023.
Finally, SiriusXM is releasing three new channels focused on various music genres from the 2000s. These channels include: Alt2k featuring iconic 2000s alternative rock artists (ch 313), Flex2k featuring hip-hop and rap (ch 49), and The Flow featuring R&B (ch 48). All three of these channels are year-round and can also be found on the SiriusXM app starting Wednesday.
Another new feature to keep an eye out for is guest DJ channel takeovers from some of the most popular artists on the charts. They will periodically take over different channels, bringing listeners setlists of their favorite songs curated directly by them.
SiriusXm stations on different channels
The Sirius statement did not include a list of other channel changes. But some of them include Pop Rocks moving (again) to channel 6. Rock Bar, formerly channel 313, is also now moved to the app.
All of these additions come with the nationwide launch of the new SiriusXM app which will be available on Dec 14 and will include new and updated features such as enhanced searching, greater content discovery, a central audio library, and much more.
“The introduction of the new SiriusXM streaming experience marks a pivotal moment in our history, one that kicks off a new era of innovation at our company,” said CEO Jennifer Witz, “And this launch is just the beginning.”
