In this exclusive communication, Pope Benedict addressed listeners around the country saying, "On the occasion of the third anniversary of my election to the See of Peter I would like to take the opportunity to greet and thank all those who have joined us by radio and other media, especially the listeners of The Catholic Channel on SIRIUS Satellite Radio.

Indeed, this means of communication assists me in sharing the saving message of the Gospel. I am pleased that on The Catholic Channel so many people can follow the daily life and activities of the Church. God bless you all."

The Catholic Channel, an exclusive collaboration between SIRIUS and The Archdiocese of New York, is offering listeners nationwide unprecedented access for the Papal Visit, providing hourly updates with the latest news and information on the Pope's activities during his visit, live coverage of all the major events, and more.

The Catholic Channel launched on SIRIUS in 2006 featuring a modern format with an open dialogue focused on Catholicism in the 21st century. The Catholic Channel's exclusive daily programming lineup features shows hosted by Cardinal Egan, Dave and Susan Konig, Fr. Dave Dwyer, Gus Lloyd, Fr. Paul Keenan, Bob Dunning, "The Catholic Guy" Lino Rulli, and others.

Programming on The Catholic Channel also includes human-interest stories and inspirational themes, reflections on Scripture, Church history, sacred music, shows offering spiritual guidance, and football and basketball games from the University of Notre Dame.
