SiriusXM will launch two new channels in collaboration with Disney’s ABC News, expanding its news offering.
“ABC News Live,” a simulcast of ABC News’ live-streaming service, debuted Monday on Channel 796 and on the SiriusXM app, while “20/20 True Crime” will launch launching coming weeks on Channel 794.
In addition to the new channels, two ABC News programs will soon be available on SiriusXM’s P.O.T.U.S., found on Channel 124. Both “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” and the “Start Here Weekend” newscast will launch later in the spring.
ABC News joins other mainstream news outlets, including NBC News, MS NOW, CNBC, Fox News, Bloomberg, BBC World Service and NPR that are already in the company’s content lineup.
“ABC News Live” delivers breaking news from across the United States and around the world. Listeners can get new developments in politics, weather, health, business, and more. “20/20 True Crime” will serve as a destination for in-depth storytelling from “20/20” and ABC News. The channel will feature narrative podcasts, full episodes of “20/20,” installments of “20/20: The After Show,” and curated cases from the “20/20 True Crime Vault.”
“This Week with George Stephanopoulos” is anchored by George Stephanopoulos, and co-anchored by Martha Raddatz and Jonathan Karl. The show features newsmaker interviews, in-the-field reporting, and panel discussions. “Start Here Weekend,” hosted by Brad Mielke, dives deeper into the stories driving headlines through in-depth conversations with ABC News correspondents, experts, and newsmakers.
Starting this weekend, This Week can be heard on P.O.T.U.S. every Sunday at 2pm ET, with Start Here Weekend available on Saturdays at 9am and 6pm ET.
