Sirius XM president and chief content officer Scott Greenstein said in a statement: “Barbra Streisand is an artist who is the very definition of the word ‘icon.’ Her original voice, songwriting, performances and life’s work has made her a universal star and humanitarian leader. Along the way, she has created some of the best-selling albums of all time, as well as being an award-winning actress known for her work on stage, film and TV. Our exclusive channel celebrating Ms. Streisand is a truly comprehensive and deep dive into the music of one of the world’s most important artists ever. We are looking forward to welcoming Ms. Streisand to our studios to be a part of our Town Hall series and discuss her new album with her fans.”
