The Barbra Streisand Channel will debut on September 12 and run through October 10 on Sirius and Sirius/XM on-line channel 69 and XM channel 73. The station will feature music spanning Streisand’s legendary career, from her 1963 debut through her newest album, Partners, scheduled to be released on September 16. The channel will be fully dedicated to Barbra Streisand’s extensive body of work and will include selections from her live and studio recordings. The channel will also include Streisand’s personal song selections from her catalog, spanning 50 years.
In addition, on Sunday, September 14 at 12:00 PM ET, the singer will participate in a town hall special, hosted by music executive Jay Landers.
Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer of SiriusXM, said “Barbra Streisand is an artist who is the very definition of the word icon. Her original voice, songwriting, performances, and life’s work has made her a universal star and humanitarian leader. Along the way she has created some of the best-selling albums of all time, as well as being an award winning actress known for her work on stage, film and TV. Our exclusive channel celebrating Ms. Streisand is a truly comprehensive and deep dive into the music of one of the world’s most important artists ever. We are looking forward to welcoming Ms. Streisand to our studios to be a part of our ‘Town Hall’ series and discuss her new album with her fans.”
