NEW YORK,
June 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- SiriusXM announced today that legendary radio host
and rock and roll influencer Rodney Bingenheimer will host a new weekly
music show on SiriusXM's Little Steven's Underground Garage
channel.
Rodney Bingenheimer, who
curated his longtime radio show "Rodney on the ROQ" for over 40
years, has been known for launching and championing now legendary
acts like the Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Tom
Petty, Blondie, Elvis
Costello, Van Halen, The
Clash, The Smiths, The Go Go's, The Bangles, The Runaways and
Oasis. He has also been recognized for bringing back classic acts
and album cuts from the likes of The Monkees, The Beach Boys, The
Standells, The Ventures and many more. He continues to launch new
music from the likes of The Regrettes, the Atomics, The Moon Kids,
The Tearaways and Beck Black.
"I'm so honored to be on the same SiriusXM channel as
Little Steven," said Rodney
Bingenheimer. "He has also championed some of the greatest
music of our time, both past and future. With both of us now
at the same channel we're gonna keep great music
alive. Especially for me, being on at an earlier time, I can
have more listeners who don't have to worry about missing work or
school the next day. To be on in Primetime on the East Coast
as well is also exciting."
"Rodney was one of my first calls when I started the
channel," said Steven Van Zandt. "We
are honored to have him. This is where he belongs!"

SiriusXM show will premiere on Sunday, July, 16 at 9:00 pm ET, 6:00 pm
