SiriusXM announced Monday it has joined with global music superstar Pitbull to create a channel featuring music by the international pop star as well as his personal musical selections.  
 
The channel will be curated and presented by the pop star and entrepreneur and will feature music from across multiple genres exclusively for SiriusXM listeners.  The channel will be anchored by a weekly show hosted by Pitbull.  The new channel will be infused with Pitbull's music - from his early days in Miami through his meteoric rise to international fame and his current hits.  In addition, the artist will share music by fellow musicians.
