SiriusXM Disney Jr. Radio Channel Arrives With Music From Mickey, Spidey & More
Young Disney Jr. viewers can now hear their favorite characters on SiriusXM, with the subscription service’s launch of Disney Jr. Radio.
SiriusXM announced Disney Jr. Radio, an exclusive channel themed to the TV network’s shows for the preschool demographic, on Wednesday (Oct. 2). It’s a companion to SiriusXM’s Disney Hits channel.
Playlists on the new Disney Jr. Radio will feature music from familiar shows like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends and SuperKitties, as well as speciality programming throughout the day surrounding Disney Jr. content for the younger audience.
Here’s a rundown of the current Disney Jr. Radio programming schedule on SiriusXM, as of Oct. 2:
7-8 a.m. ET: “Mickey Mornings” — hosted by Mickey, of course — will be a parent’s helper in the morning routine of getting dressed, brushing teeth and having breakfast. It also kicks off the day with fun learning songs appropriate for preschoolers.
12-1 p.m. ET: “Disney Jr. Let’s Play!” is hosted by Disney Jr.’s favorite mermaid, Ariel, and encourages kids to get some midday play and movement in with upbeat, high-energy music.
3-4 p.m. ET: “Disney Jr. Hits,” with Spidey as host, features a mix of popular Disney Jr. songs for kids to sing along to.
6-7 p.m. ET: “Disney Jr. Live on Tour” brings top tunes from the Disney Jr. tour to your speakers, with the help of host Bitsy, from SuperKitties.
1 p.m. ET, 4 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. ET, 10 p.m. ET: Keep those hours in mind if they align with nap or bedtime — or “quiet time,” aka when mom or dad need to rest while their four-year-old fights sleep. “Disney Jr. Lullabies” is all about gentle, soothing versions of Disney Jr. melodies.
Take a look at the Disney Jr. Radio channel on the SiriusXM app to see if it’s a fit for your family.
