History

Turbo made its debut on August 17, 2017, as a full-time channel devoted to hard rock from artists like Metallica, System of a Down, Linkin Park and more.^[1]

PopRocks, which slots in on channel 17, plays lighter rock music from the 1990s and 2000s, a la Goo Goo Dolls, Train and Sheryl Crow; while Turbo, channel 41 (after a try-out as a streaming-only station), offers hard rock music from Linkin Park, Metallica and System of a Down.^[2]

Prior to August 17, the channel was on channel 314 as a US only Xtra Channel. This slot is now occupied by the now punk rock-exclusive formatted Faction which has been rebranded as Faction Punk, however it is available on both US and Canadian versions of the Sirius XM app.^[3]

On October 5, 2020, at noon EDT (16:00 UTC) until October 12, 2020, at 3:00 AM EDT (07:00 UTC), Turbo switched over to Linkin Park Radio in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their debut studio album, Hybrid Theory.^[4] The first song played on Linkin Park Radio was "One Step Closer", and the last song played was "Happy Song" by Bring Me the Horizon.
