Among such efforts, Howard University has put the resources and the prestige of its popular campus radio station behind the launch of the HBCU Channel on the SiriusXM satellite radio network system. Since mid-November, the Howard University Radio Network, which includes WHUR 96.3, has operated the HBCU Channel on SiriusXM channel 142 to deliver a wide range of programming that showcases the Black college experience.
Howard University interim president Wayne A.I. Frederick described the newly-launched channel as an “excellent platform to showcase the extraordinary stories and success” of HBCUs. SiriusXM radio channels are available to more than 25 million subscribers.
