Following a collaboration during last year's holiday season, SiriusXM and Hallmark Channel have announced an expanded relationship that returns Hallmark Channel Radio as a recurring seasonal offering through 2020. Kicking off in conjunction with Hallmark Channel's annual "June Weddings" programming event, SiriusXM's Hallmark Channel Radio will celebrate the season of "I do's" beginning Friday, May 31 at 9am ET and will run through Monday, July 1 at 3am ET on SiriusXM channel 4 and through the SiriusXM app.

Voiced by two of the network's stars, Candace Cameron Bure and Lacey Chabert, SiriusXM's weddings-themed Hallmark Channel Radio will feature love songs including tracks from such artists as Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Kelly Clarkson, Rod Stewart, Elvis Presley, Rascal Flatts, Billy Joel, Brad Paisley, LeAnn Rimes and more. In addition, Hallmark Channel stars including Kellie Pickler and Jack Wagner, among others, will host countdown specials, walking SiriusXM subscribers through their favorite wedding songs.

"With music being such essential component of our viewers' holidays and celebrations all year long, Hallmark Channel Radio is the perfect complement to Hallmark Channel's seasonal programming franchises," said Crown Media Family Networks President/CEO Bill Abbott. "Our collaboration with SiriusXM was a huge success during last year's ‘Countdown to Christmas' and we look forward to building on this exciting new relationship further, beginning with wedding season in June."

Aligning with some of the network's most popular programming franchises, including "Countdown to Christmas," Hallmark Channel Radio will return throughout the year and feature themed playlists specially curated to enhance subscribers' seasonal celebrations. SiriusXM's Hallmark Channel Radio originally launched in November, 2018 featuring 24/7 holiday music and coincided with the network's "Countdown to Christmas" programming event.
