The exclusive, limited-run channel will air hits from the beginning of Streisand’s career in 1963 through her newest album “Partners,” currently set for a September 16 release, and will draw on live as well as studio recordings. Streisand will also contribute personal selections from her catalog and take part in an exclusive “Town Hall” special, where she will sit down for a Q&A with a select group of listeners in New York City. “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,” said Scott Greenstein, president and chief content officer of SiriusXM. “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,” he added. “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.” The channel will launch at 5 p.m. on September 12 and run through October 10 via Sirius channel 69 and XM channel 73. Following the broadcast, “SiriusXM’s Town Hall with Barbra Streisand” will be available on SiriusXM On Demand for subscribers or online at siriusxm.com.
