Finally — SiriusXM’s Beatles Channel!
The Beatles’ first-ever official radio channel — The Beatles Channel — is coming exclusively to SiriusXM on May 18. Celebrating popular music’s most legendary and influential band, The Beatles Channel was created by SiriusXM to present unique and exclusive programming in collaboration with and fully authorized by The Beatles’ Apple Corps Ltd. The channel will explore The Beatles’ entire career, including their hits and deeper tracks, live recordings, rarities and solo albums, while also spotlighting musicians who have inspired, and have drawn inspiration from, The Beatles.
The Beatles Channel will feature a bunch of regular shows and specials, including Breakfast with The Beatles, a daily morning show hosted by musician and lifelong Beatles aficionado Chris Carter; A Day in the Life — noting milestones in the lives and career of The Beatles; Magical Mini Concert — a weekly fantasy concert featuring live music from The Beatles and their solo works; The Fab Fourum — a live weekly call-in show hosted by veteran broadcaster Dennis Elsas, TV producer and author Bill Flanagan; and Peter Asher: From Me To You, a weekly show hosted by Grammy-winning producer Peter Asher, a former member of Peter & Gordon who was part of the formation of Apple Records.
Paul McCartney said, “I still remember the thrill of when we first heard our music on the radio, but I don’t think any of us would have imagined that we’d have our very own Beatles radio channel more than 50 years later. The SiriusXM channel will have it all, 8 Days a Week.” Ringo Starr added, “Great news, The Beatles will have their own channel on SiriusXM. Now you can listen to The Beatles, Any Time at All. Peace & Love.”
The Beatles Channel will launch at exactly 9:09am ET on Thursday, May 18, and will be celebrated as part of SiriusXM’s free listening preview program, offering 24/7 listening on inactive SiriusXM radios from May 17 to May 30. The Beatles Channel will also be available online and through the SiriusXM app.
