‘Rolling Stones Radio’ Returns To SIRIUS

Just in time to celebrate the release of Martin Scorsese’s new film featuring the Rolling Stones, SIRIUS Satellite Radio is brining “Rolling Stones Radio” back on the air for a month.

Readers may be aware that I have been a fan of SIRIUS ever since I discovered it being carried on my Dish Network programming package a few years ago. The lack of commercials that plague terrestrial radio endlessly was the main reason I enjoyed listening to SIRIUS.

The new Scorsese film, Shine A Light, will open in “selected cities” on April 4, while “Rolling Stones Radio” will come to life on SIRIUS channel 12 tomorrow, March 18 with a scheduled end date of April 15.

“Rolling Stones Radio” last aired on SIRIUS during 2005 when the Rolling Stones released their album, A Bigger Bang.

Although SIRIUS has announced plans to keep “Rolling Stones Radio” on the air for about a month, there is the possibility that it could enjoy a longer life if there is enough demand for the channel. SIRIUS recently extended the life of the “E Street Radio,” a station dedicated to the music of Bruce Springsteen And the E Street Band.
