Sirius Satellite Radio teamed with Cosmopolitan magazine to launch a channel in 2006 dedicated to women’s issues, Sirius announced Sept. 2.

“Our readers are constantly asking for more Cosmo and that is exactly what this new channel will give them,” Kate White, editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, said in a statement. “”Moving beyond the magazine into radio for the first time, even more women will be able to get the fun, informative and interesting information that the magazine has provided for 40 years. It’s a perfect way to extend our reach and connect with a new audience.”

Cosmopolitan Radio will feature talk shows focusing on topics of interest to women, with guests such as Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief Kate White, as well as the magazine’s editors and writers. The channel also will include musical programming that programmers think will appeal to the audience that reads Cosmopolitan.

“Cosmopolitan Radio will be the preeminent place to hear the latest on the topics and music that most interest young women,” Scott Greenstein, president of Entertainment and Sports for Sirius, said. “This new channel once again demonstrates how we are consistently reinventing the radio format so that women have a place on radio that is truly their own.”
