SiriusXM Rolls Out Limited-Run Joni Mitchell Channel

SiriusXM announced a limited-run Joni Mitchell channel through April 14 on the SXM App and on satellite channel 105 running March 30-April 15. The channels coincide with Mitchell's being honored as 2022 Person of the Year at The Recording Academy's MusiCares charity event slated for April 1 to raise funds for programs and relief efforts for the music community, SiriusXM said Wednesday. Mitchell pulled her music from Spotify in January (see 2201310029) “in solidarity” with Neil Young over Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan’s misinformation regarding COVID-19 vaccines. Mitchell decided to “remove all my music from Spotify," she said then. "Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives."
