Those other channels had interviews in between songs, and various live versions of songs. I have to wonder if there is enough of that type of material for VH accumulated yet (there must be).

Well the idea would be to create a VH channel yes but also music education and tech so you can have Vai and satch on desingers etc. just tons of content

Well I tweeted Sirius and got a “thank you we will forward this to our team.” Tweet Sirius.

I never do these things, but for this I will and I shared on Facebook book with my events industry friends and musicians

Really hope Sirius will keep VH channel. Would be nice if they could expand their Playlist with more live tracks from beyond the live albums VH released. There are a number of radio specials they were on and it would be sweet to hear from the different tours over the years.

It may take some time for Sirius to put something together that includes interviews, etc.

Eddie has to pass to get some attention From Sirius, but there is a Tom Petty channel?

The outpouring of love around the world for our band has been moving

SiriusXM has done a fantastic job with the tribute channel. Hope it stays permanently.

Been a Sirius subscriber for going on 15 years now.

This is exactly what I need.

Every VH song in rotation, with similar songs sprinkled throughout.....all bands in the history of DLR, Sammy & Gary, plus Wolf's stuff when it eventually comes out.

Hell, if the fucking Grateful "How the hell does any sober person consider this shit good?" Dead have their own channel, Van Halen more than fucking deserves their own channel.

1000% this needs to stick around; I have been telling friends and family as well.

The Sirius dial in my truck hasn't left BB Kings Bluesville station all year. Till now.

It would be neat to see the Van Halen station become permanent. They would have to broaden the format a bit though, wouldn't they?

They could probably get away with the entire discographies of VH, DLR, Sammy & Gary. Between them all, that's probably what? 300-400 songs?

And for as much as I enjoy Ozzy's Boneyard, Hair Nation & Liquid Metal, I feel like the same 100 songs are on constant rotation on each of those stations.

I don't know if they're actually playing every VH tune in the book, or if I just have the shittiest timing on the planet. Every damn time I got in my car between yesterday & this morning, When It's Love was always on.

Sebastian Bach hosted a tribute to EVH on Sirius channel 27 and did a countdown where he played his top 10 Van Halen songs. I've highlighted the ones that are also in my top 10:

(10) Little Dreamer
(9) Everybody Wants Some!!
(8) Light Up The Sky
(7) She's The Woman
(6) Mean Street
(5) Dirty Movies
(4) In A Simple Rhyme
(3) Romeo Delight
(2) Fools
(1) And The Cradle Will Rock

Thats not a bad list by him. Fools and "Dirty Movies" and LUTS are always hovering in the 8-15 slots, and as you know EWS, RD, IASR, and MS are all in my top 7.
