SiriusXM has announced a new channel dedicated entirely to music discussion. VOLUME debuts October 17 at 7 a.m. Eastern, and has an initial lineup of 12 programs that feature interviews, music trivia games, album reviews, and more. Several high-profile guests are slated to appear across VOLUME’s initial run of shows. Lady Gaga will be on the first episode of a show called “Feedback,” hosted by Nik Carter and Lori Majewski. Airing each weekday from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Eastern, “Feedback” is a “live morning talk-show featuring the latest music news, scoop, what’s trending and conversations with guests and audiences,” according to a press release.
Other guests include Steve Albini, who will appear on a show called “The Last of The …,” T.I. on “Rap Radar Report,” Robert Plant and Paul Simon on “Written in My Soul With Bill Flanagan,” Metallica’s Lars Ulrich on “Trunk Nation,” and David Crosby and Pat Benatar on Melissa Etheridge’s show “Melissa’s Basement.” Other shows include “The Album Review Show,” hosted by the Needle Drop’s Anthony Fantano, and “Rolling Stone Music Now,” a continuation of the publication’s podcast.
In a statement, VOLUME’s executive producer Roger Coletti said “VOLUME is sports radio for music fans. It will be a must-listen for fans to stay connected to the music they love.” He continued, “It will be the ultimate place for fans to hear stories, share memories, discover new artists, and uncover the truth about their favorite artists, songs, albums and more. The channel is full of passionate, respected, and entertaining personalities that the audience will love, respect, and trust.”
