SIRUS Satellite Radio to Introduce New Christian Rock Channel

Dateline: 09/24/05

By Corey Deitz, About.com

As part of its new programming lineup effective September 29, SIRIUS Satellite Radio is introducing a new music channel called Revolution that will be devoted to Christian rock music.

Located at channel 67, Revolution will join SIRIUS' other Christian music channels, Spirit channel 66 (Christian Hits) and Praise channel 68 (Gospel). SIRIUS says Revolution will be commercial-free.

Revolution will feature today's most popular, faith-based rock music, by artists such as Switchfoot, Relient K, Thousand Foot Krutch and many more.

Although its popularity has been growing steadily for the past decade, sales of albums in the Christian Rock genre grew an astounding 125 per cent in 2004, according to the Gospel Music Association, and Christian music is currently the sixth most popular in the US, behind rock, hip-hop, R&B/urban, country and pop music - and ahead of jazz and classical.
