The new channels span the musical spectrum of pop, rock and dance, and they increase the number of commercial-free music channels on SIRIUS to 65.
Here are the five new music channels, their corresponding SIRIUS channel and descriptions from SIRIUS:
Elvis Radio // 13
Live from Graceland. The first officially-sanctioned radio station devoted 100% to Elvis songs; created in conjunction with Elvis Presley Enterprises. Priscilla Presley says, "Elvis was a great fan of all new technologies ... I'm sure Elvis would have been SIRIUS Satellite Radio's first subscriber."
Underground Garage // 25
Produced by E Street Band member and The Sopranos cast member “Little Steven” Van Zandt, Underground Garage is where you can hear the coolest rock ‘n’ roll records ever made. Whether they’re 50 years old or 50 minutes old; if they’re rocking, they’re coming from the Underground Garage.
Boombox // 61
Like those great “back-in-the-day” sounds that bounced from your trusty portable radio, Boombox brings on a mix of party beats and old skool from artists such as Fatboy Slim, De la Soul, the Chemical Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest.
Area 63 // 63
We’ve heard the chants for trance, and it’s now found alongside progressive house at Area 63, where artists such as Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, DJ Tiesto and Basement Jaxx play non-stop.
Vacation // 97
Escape to Vacation! Hear your favorites from the sands of the beach or the deck of the pool. Unwind to the continuous sounds of Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, The Beach Boys, Hawaiian music and the great sounds of reggae and calypso. It’s paradise by the dashboard light!
