Bluegrass Junction is a bluegrass music channel on Sirius XM Radio. It is billed as "America's Bluegrass Home", and primarily airs complete versions of music from many bluegrass artists. Some of those are Bill Monroe, Seldom Scene, Flatt & Scruggs, and Sam Bush. It is heard on Sirius XM Radio 62 and Dish Network 6062.
Bluegrass Junction was one of the original XM channels at launch in 2001. Sirius picked up the channel in November 2008 (replacing its own Bluegrass channel) after the two services merged. As of April 2009, the channel has changed its logo from the one you see. The new logo shows the word "BLUEGRASS" in bolder type and the word "Junction" posted on a nameplate.Also, mountains are shown in between the two words and bushes on either side.
During the 2015 Holiday Season (Sunday 12/06/15 at 12pm ET until Tuesday 12/15/15 at 3am ET), Bluegrass Junction was replaced by Radio Hanukkah.
