Talking Heads to Launch Limited SiriusXM Pop‑Up Channel

The temporary station will pair five decades of the band’s music with a rare live, four‑member conversation airing at the channel’s launch.

Overview

SiriusXM will run Talking Heads Radio starting Oct. 1 on in‑car Channel 145 through Oct. 22 and on the SiriusXM app through Oct. 31.
A full four‑member conversation will be recorded live at SiriusXM’s New York studios on Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. ET, hosted by musician Este Haim, and will air at noon ET on Oct. 1.
Fans can submit voice or video messages and enter a sweepstakes to attend the Sept. 28 event in person through Sept. 22 via SiriusXM’s interactive submission page.
The pop‑up’s schedule will feature hits, deep cuts, exclusive stories, guest DJ sets and commentary, and reporting notes the channel may highlight members’ current projects such as David Byrne’s recent expanded album edition and upcoming book.
The appearance is another rare public gathering of David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison since their 2023 TIFF reunion and gives fans an uncommon chance to hear the full quartet discuss their work while boosting exposure for the band’s catalog.
