SiriusXM will launch “Chris Stapleton Radio” as a new full-time addition to its channel lineup on Thursday, May 23 at 12:00pm on channel 63.
The new channel will be curated and presented by Stapleton and members of his band The Honchos featuring his music and a mix of Country, Rock and Soul with artists included featuring Tom Petty, George Jones, John Prine, Lainey Wilson, Mavis Staples, Merle Haggard, Miranda Lambert, Tyler Childers, and Bob Dylan.
“Chris Stapleton Radio gives people another way to connect with our music — where me and the rest of the guys in the band and Morgane are coming from. What our influences are. Knowing that when people come to watch a show, what they’re hearing is informed by the things that are on this channel. That’s probably the ultimate reason that I want to do this. We’re honored and thrilled to bring Chris Stapleton Radio to life at SiriusXM,” said Chris Stapleton.
SiriusXM President/Chief Content Officer Scott Greenstein stated, “Chris Stapleton is one of country music’s most prolific singer-songwriters today and we are thrilled to collaborate with him on his own year-round SiriusXM channel. We are truly excited to have Chris bring his own channel to life, sharing with our listeners not only his catalog of music but his insights and the music and artists that he loves and is inspired by.”
With the addition of Chris Stapleton Radio, Christian AC “The Message” will move from channel 63 to 65. That channel is currently home to Southern Gospel “Bill Gaither’s enLighten“.
