On Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 16), SiriusXM is honoring the life and legacy of King with specials across music, talk, and sports. King’s work and words remain as relevant as ever today as we continue the cause against racial discrimination that he furthered through activism and civil disobedience.
See how SiriusXM channels are paying homage to Dr. King below (all times in ET).
