NEW YORK / PRNewswire — SiriusXM today announced that it will launch a new exclusive radio channel headlined by Joel Osteen, world-renowned spiritual and inspirational figure, and Senior Pastor of Lakewood Church, America’s largest Christian congregation.
“Joel Osteen Radio” will debut this fall and bring Osteen’s message to SiriusXM listeners nationwide, showcasing exclusive weekly call-in shows hosted by both Joel Osteen and Joel’s wife, Victoria Osteen, co-pastor of Lakewood Church.
