SiriusXM replaces Mental Health Radio with uncensored talk channel

SiriusXM has pulled the plug on a channel that was dedicated to mental health and wellness.

Its one of SiriusXM moves to reorganize channels.

No reason was given for the channel’s disappearance earlier this month, but SiriusXM and NYU Langone Health appear to still have a partnership for programs aired on Doctor Radio. On the streaming platform, Mental Health Radio has been replaced by “Unwell On Air,” an uncensored talk channel curated by podcaster Alex Cooper.

The removal of Mental Health Radio was part of a reorganization of channels and content on SiriusXM’s satellite and streaming radio platforms. In addition to the removal of that channel, SiriusXM has moved the Infinity Sports Network to Channel 375 on satellite and streaming radio, and its acoustic pop channel Coffee House from Channel 3 to Channel 17

Ugh

It was only a streaming channel, not actually on their satellite service.

Did Mental Health Radio have original programming? Or was it programming from Doctor radio?

It was only a streaming channel, not actually on their satellite service.

I was wondering about that. This is the first I've ever heard of this now-former channel. It wasn't promoted on any of the channels I listen to, AFAIK, and I guess I never scrolled far enough down the long list of streaming-only channels to have encountered it.

They're crazy! (Get it?)

Bring back the Physicians Radio Network. I still have my SCA radio primed for such occasions.
