SiriusXM debuted “Joel Osteen Radio,” the new exclusive channel headlined by the renowned spiritual and inspirational figure launched Monday, September 29, on SiriusXM channel 128. The channel will be available on satellite radios, through the SiriusXM Internet Radio App and at SiriusXM.com.
Osteen, the Senior Pastor of Lakewood Church, America’s largest Christian congregation, will open the channel with a special Town Hall broadcast event from the SiriusXM studios in New York City. Osteen will be joined by his wife, Victoria, co-pastor of Lakewood Church, and will answer questions from an intimate audience of SiriusXM listeners for the inaugural broadcast of Joel Osteen Radio beginning at 5:00 pm ET.
“Victoria and I are excited to partner with SiriusXM and to bring a message of hope to millions of listeners,” said Joel Osteen. “More than ever before, people are looking for hope in their lives. I believe listeners will be uplifted and filled with an expectation that their best days are still out in front of them.”
“The Osteens’ new channel will deliver their message across the country, reaching listeners at a time in our world when inspiration is especially needed,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer. “From call-in shows with Joel and Victoria, to broadcasts of the weekly live services from Lakewood Church, to the archive of Joel’s sermons, the depth of programming on the channel will be remarkable.”
Joel Osteen Radio will showcase exclusive weekly call-in shows hosted by both Joel and Victoria. Joel Osteen Live will debut on October 6 and air every Monday at 5:00 pm ET, giving listeners the ability to interact directly with Joel, who will offer advice and encouragement for leading a fuller life.
