SIRIUS XM began broadcasting special Michael Jackson programming across a wide range of its commercial-free music channels on Friday, June 25. Various channels devoted special features to the “King of Pop” with tributes, personal memories, favorite songs and more.


We at Hiphopspy support Sirius XM Radio, the future of radio and we take our hats off for them to dedicate a whole channel to the late Michael Jackson the Greatest Entertainer of All Time and for the record commercial radio stations SUCK worse than ever.
