NEW YORK /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq:
SIRI) today announced the launch of The Foxxhole, Jamie Foxx's exclusive
24/7 comedy, music and entertainment channel. Jamie Foxx, Academy
Award-winning actor, American Music Award-winning and GRAMMY(R) nominated
artist, and comedian is the channel's executive producer and will
broadcast live from around the world.
The Foxxhole, SIRIUS channel 106, launched May 17, and Foxx appeared on
NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno May 18 to promote it.
Foxx will broadcast live on The Foxxhole from wherever he is in the
world. Listeners can tune in to find out when he will be on the air, and
like Foxx himself, the material he delivers will be unpredictable. From
riffing through jokes to transforming into both well-known and
just-invented characters, to playing music and hanging out with a variety
of cool people, anything is possible.
Foxx's roots are in comedy and he has since branched out to
award-winning music and acting projects: The Foxxhole ties all three of
his worlds together. The channel features original comedy bits and
sketches, as well as new comedic and musical talent never heard before. In
addition, The Foxxhole features material from the comedy legends Foxx has
listened to and admired his whole life. Foxx's friends from the music
industry may even stop by to debut their new singles, albums, and
material.
