Guess they had good results from their "limited time" channel a while back if they're making a permanent one! Definitely gonna be played in the car heavy for me.

Does anyone under the age of 65 use Sirius XM? Not being an asshole, I'm genuinely asking. Because the only person I know who does is my 75 year old grandfather. Most people I know use some music streaming service like Spotify, Apple Music, etc.

I had given up long ago thinking it woulda happened by now lol … their peers in the alternative space in terms of the most successful bands like RHCP and Pearl Jam have had their own stations going on 10 years. Glad it finally happened

I’m surprised there isn’t more chatter about Tre hosting a monthly show. I was really taken with Mike’s radio DJ skills when they were doing the Saviors stuff, I would seek out a radio show hosted by him. I assume as they start another record cycle in a couple years they’ll have all three of them doing stuff for the channel

I'm going to be so pissed if they get rid of FactionPunk for this.
