Revolution (Sirius)
Encyclopedia
Revolution was a "Faith-based" radio station on Sirius Satellite Radio
channel 67 and DISH Network
channel 6067. While the majority of the music they played was by Christian artists, there were several that received airtime that had either explicitly denied being Christian artists (e.g., Evanescence & Creed) or do not proclaim to be Christian artists (e.g., U2, Alter Bridge, etc.).
On February 14, 2007, Sirius Revolution was removed from the Sirius programming lineup as part of new programming for 2007. A group has started an online petition to have Sirius bring the station back. A year before Sirius dropped this station, XM Radio dropped their "The Torch" channel which left Revolution the only in-car audio solution for Christian Rock. It was never added to Sirius Canada
