Joel Osteen gets his own SiriusXM channel

NEW YORK -- Texas pastor Joel Osteen is getting his own channel on SiriusXM satellite radio, which will air his sermon at Yankee Stadium this Saturday live nationally.

Osteen, who preaches to 40,000 people each week at Houston's Lakewood megachurch, already shows his messages on the Trinity television network. The new SiriusXM channel will feature live call-in shows hosted by Osteen and his wife, fellow Lakewood pastor Victoria Osteen, along with rebroadcasts of Osteen's past sermons.

SiriusXM said Monday that it will announce later when Osteen's new channel will begin operation.

Sirius has some 25.8 million subscribers worldwide.
