This channel also broadcasts University of Notre Dame football games.

Most of the programming consists of call-in talk shows hosted by Roman Catholic personalities, such as The Busted Halo Show, featuring a Catholic priest with the Paulist Fathers. Catholic doctrine and lifestyle is discussed, such as current events, political issues, comedy, psychological issues, family life, among other things. Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York, co-hosts a one-hour weekly program.

Background

The Catholic Channel was founded by Cardinal Edward Egan, Archbishop of New York, in 2006.^[1] The intention of the channel is to discuss Catholicism in a nontraditional manner, serving as an alternative to other Catholic media programs like EWTN. It began broadcasting on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 159 on December 4, 2006. Initial personalities still on the air include Lino Rulli, producer and former television host, Gus Lloyd, radio veteran, and Father Dave Dwyer, ordained priest. Cardinal Edward Egan also hosted a show, A Conversation with the Cardinal, before being replaced in 2009 (due to his retirement) by the current Cardinal Archbishop of New York, Timothy M. Dolan.

Upon the merger of Sirius and XM Satellite Radio to form SiriusXM Radio on November 12, 2008, The Catholic Channel was made available on XM receivers.^[2]
