SiriusXM to launch "Business Radio," powered by The Wharton School

SiriusXM Radio and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania recently announced a new 24/7 business radio channel called "Business Radio Powered by the Wharton School," to launch in early 2014. 

"From hiring and motivating staff to creating a business plan to raising capital and financing businesses, the channel will be delivered directly by the world's top business experts and leading minds in business education at The Wharton School," a press release said. 

Business Radio -- which will air via satellite on SiriusXM Channel 111, and through the SiriusXM Internet Radio app -- will feature world-renowned and distinguished professors and alumni as regular weekly hosts, plus executives, entrepreneurs, innovators and other experts as special hosts and guests.

Programming currently in development is expected to include:

• Market Update with Jeremy Siegel: a weekly, in-depth analysis of the dynamics of the stock market.
• Launch Pad: New ventures go live on Business Radio and listeners weigh in. 
• When Things Go Wrong: Listeners share customer service experiences gone awry and Business Radio gets to the bottom of the situation. 
• Sports Business: listeners are invited behind-the-scenes to explore the business issues underlying the multi-billion dollar sports industry.
• The Business of Retailing: understanding and managing retailing, the economy's largest sector.
