SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO LAUNCHES CHRISTIAN TALK CHANNEL
New Christian Talk channel featuring FamilyNet programming
Channel 159 will carry The 700 Club with Pat Robertson and other leading evangelical talk personalities
12-12-2005
NEW YORK - December 12, 2005 - FamilyNet and SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ:
SIRI) announced that they have launched Christian Talk exclusively on SIRIUS
channel 159. The new channel airs FamilyNet's most popular programs, including preaching from some of the nation's top pastors, innovative radio-specific programs, and leading evangelical talk personalities. FamilyNet is the broadcast arm of the Southern Baptist Convention.
The new Christian Talk channel will include such programming as ACLJ This Week with Jay Sekulow, The 700 Club with Pat Robertson, and daily shows At Home-Live! and Your Health, as well as some of the nation's top pastors, including Dr. Charles Stanley, Dr. Jack Graham, Dr. David Jeremiah, and Dr. Bryant Wright. In addition, special radio programs such as Way of the Master, a daily, two-hour program featuring actor Kirk Cameron and legendary evangelist Ray Comfort, and leading evangelical talk personalities such as Dr. Richard Land, are also featured.
Christian Talk channel 159 is the companion to SIRIUS' Christian music programming, which offers three commercial-free channels devoted to Christian Hits (Spirit, channel 66), Christian Rock (Revolution, channel 67) and Gospel (Praise, channel 68).
"It is a goal for SIRIUS to offer the most comprehensive Christian programming, and we welcome FamilyNet's popular talk programming as the perfect complement to our Christian music offerings," said Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS President of Entertainment and Sports.
"On this new channel, listeners will hear a message of hope and encouragement that's as relevant now as it was at the time of Southern Baptists' initial radio broadcast in 1941," said Martin Coleman, FamilyNet's Chief Operating Officer. "We're grateful for this opportunity SIRIUS has given us to build upon our rich heritage in radio broadcasting."
