Introducing Play MPE’s Satellite Radio Distribution Lists — Now Available in Canada
You asked, we delivered. We’re excited to officially roll out Play MPE’s Satellite Radio distribution lists for the Canadian market. Available in both Canada and the U.S., these new lists are built to help you reach one of the most influential and far-reaching platforms in radio today: SiriusXM.
If Satellite Radio has been on your promo wishlist, this is your moment!
Why Satellite Radio Matters
Satellite Radio operates without traditional market borders. Every station broadcasts nationally. Every show has the potential to reach listeners across Canada and the United States.
That means your release isn’t limited by city size, region, or signal strength. One add can translate to exposure across the entire country — coast to coast, uninterrupted. For artists and labels looking to scale beyond local or regional radio, Satellite offers serious reach in one move.
Direct Access to SiriusXM Programmers
Play MPE’s Satellite lists connect you with programmers across the SiriusXM network, including major music destinations like:
The Spectrum
The Coffee House
The Verge
The Highway
SiriusXMU
North Americana
These are the decision-makers actively curating playlists and discovering new music for national audiences.
Genre-Based Targeting for Smarter Promotion
Satellite programming spans a wide range of formats, so our lists are organized by genre to help you reach the right ears faster. No guesswork, just focused promotion aligned with how SiriusXM formats its channels.
Current Satellite genres include:
Rock: Active/Mainstream Rock, Alternative & Triple A
Classic Hits: Adult Hits, Classic Hits & Classic Rock
Country: Country, Americana & Bluegrass
Pop: AC, CHR/Top 40, Hot AC & Dance
Urban: Rhythmic, Urban & Urban AC
This structure makes it easier to match your release with programmers who are actively seeking music in your style.
