THE BEATLES are getting their own channel on SIRIUSXM with the MAY 18th launch of THE BEATLES CHANNEL, authorized by APPLE CORPS LTD. and available on Channel 18.  The channel will feature hits and deep tracks, live recordings, rarities, and solo albums, special programming and artists inspired by the FAB FOUR.

Programming will include "BREAKFAST WITH THE BEATLES," hosted by musician, SIRIUSXM UNDERGROUND GARAGE host, and longtime LOS ANGELES BEATLES show host CHRIS CARTER; a daily "A DAY IN THE LIFE" BEATLES history feature; guest DJs every day; a "name that song" quiz; a weekly call-in show, "THE FAB FOURUM," with DENNIS ELSAS and BILL FLANAGAN; a weekly show hosted by PETER ASHER; FLANAGAN hosting "NORTHERN SONGS," a regular show about the BEATLES' story; and a monthly "GET BACK: THE BEATLES IN BRITAIN" show hosted by GEOFF LLOYD.  The debut will launch at 9:09a (ET) MAY 18th, and a special "Pepper Day" playing the 50th anniversary stereo mic of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" will air on JUNE 1st.

PAUL MCCARTNEY said, "I still remember the thrill of when we first heard our music on the radio, but I don't think any of us would have imagined that we'd have our very own BEATLES radio channel more than 50 years later. The SIRIUSXM channel will have it all, 8 Days a Week."

RINGO STARR added, "Great news, THE BEATLES will have their own channel on SIRIUSXM. Now you can listen to THE BEATLES, Any Time at All. Peace & Love."
