XM Satellite Radio has officially announced it's new dedicated Jewish music and culture channel: Radio Hanukkah. Word of the new channel first surfaced a few weeks ago in XM's programming guide, though at the time little details were known. So here they are.
Radio Hanukkah will kick off on Friday, December 15th (25th of Kislev) and run through December 23rd on XM channel 108.
The new channel will will feature specials focused on contemporary and traditional Jewish music, in addition to comedy, and children's programming. The Barenaked Ladies, Matisyahu, Al Franken, Kinky Friedman, Neil Sedaka, Dr. Ruth and Larry Miller are some of the Jewish celebrities who will be participating in XM's Radio Hanukkah programming.
XM will also feature nightly broadcasts of the traditional Hanukkah candlelight blessings which will air at the appropriate times for both the Eastern and Pacific time zones.
