Carrie Underwood Partners With SiriusXM To Launch All-Gospel Radio Station

'These hymns are like a warm hug.'

Carrie Underwood has launched a third SiriusXM channel that will play gospel and faith-based country music seven days a week.

Savior Sunday Daily is an expansion of her popular Savior Sunday segment on Carrie's Country, which airs on channel 60. The new channel will play standards from her Grammy-award winning gospel album, My Savior, as well as traditional gospel hymns and spiritual country, bluegrass, and folk songs. Fans can expect to hear from Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, Gabby Barrett, Randy Travis, Thomas Rhett, Reba McEntire, Zach Williams, and more. According to SiriusXM, you can find Savior Sunday Daily at channel 739.

Underwood has said her earliest music memories are from singing hymns in church. She released her first No. 1 country chart-topper, "Jesus Take The Wheel," on her debut album in 2005.

"These hymns are like a warm hug, just sweet, familiar songs I’ve been singing and listening to my whole life," Underwood stated in a news release. “This music shaped who I am as a person and is the foundation of my career as a recording artist. I feel so blessed to get be able to create a destination to share these songs with generations of people who love them as I do, as well as others who might be experiencing them for the first time.”

In celebration of the new channel, Underwood and gospel artist CeCe Winans recorded a special edition of Carrie's Country Guest DJ series Take The Wheel. The episode will begin airing on both Carrie's Country and Savior Sunday Daily during Easter weekend.
