Remember when SIRIUS and the Archdiocese of New York announced that they were teaming up to create a new channel? Well, that channel - The Catholic Channel - is going to debut next week on September 26th, on SIRIUS channel 159. Can't wait right?
His Eminence Edward Cardinal Egan, Archbishop of New York, will be a contributor and a regular guest of the various programs on The Catholic Channel, as well as a regular celebrant and homilist for the Masses broadcast from Saint Patrick's Cathedral.
Check out programming highlights after the jump...
(All times ET)

The 34-year-old Rulli is the Emmy award-winning host and executive producer of the popular TV show Generation Cross and a former TV reporter for the CBS affiliate in Minneapolis. With a master's degree in theology and a sometimes off-beat and humorous approach, Rulli has emerged a fan-favorite for younger generations of Catholics.

They are married with four children and together will focus on married life, parenting and the issues facing today's families.

Keenan, an experienced author and radio broadcaster, will help those who are seeking to add more meaning and purpose to their lives, and will be a comforting and understanding companion to those who are facing life's daily struggles and concerns.

"I read this in the paper this morning: New York City has a priest shortage. So you see, there is some good news in the world. ... To give you an idea how bad it is, earlier today in Brooklyn an alter boy had to grope himself." —David Letterman
"As you've probably heard, the Pope has asked all the Cardinals to return to Rome. You know how they got them all to come back? They told them that there was going to be a performance by the Vienna Boys Choir." —Jay Leno
"The Cardinals will be staying at the Domus Sanctae Marthae, the new hotel at the Vatican, where turn down service means the bell boy isn't interested." —Daily Show host Jon Stewart

Give the Catholic Guy show a shot. It will prove to be a funny and interesting talk show for Catholics and even some non-Catholics. Before, you write it off as a boring Catholic show give Lino a listen to for a while.

Oh, sure, there will be a Benedict XVI factor for a couple months, but then it'll trickle off.

Am I the only one who'd have died of laughter if XM had picked this up instead of Sirius, with promos for it playing on XM 202?

That was pretty funny, Hack Lawyer. I'm jealous.

Sirius has a couple of conservative Christian talk channels (and music), and now Catholic, but as Omar points out, there is a huge part of the population they're ignoring--mainline Protestants. 30+ million adherents (Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Episcopal, UCC, moderate baptists, etc.). The only programs they used to run were dropped earlier this year from their Trucker's Channel! Sure would be nice to find a home for this kind of reasonable, nonjudgmental, spiritual programming...
