SiriusXM is dedicating a channel to Prince’s immense catalog.

Through April 29, The Prince Tribute Channel will take over channel 50. It’s also available online and through the SiriusXM app.

The satellite radio company is making the channel available for free to all satellite radios, regardless of subscription package, through Sunday on Sirius channel 184 and XM channel 1.

The Prince Tribute Channel will cull music spanning Prince's career, from his late-'70s output through his recent "HITnRUN Phase One" ("Phase Two" was given to fans who attended his live concerts last week as they exited the Fox Theatre ). The channel will also feature music by artists with whom Prince collaborated.
