Fox Weather is set to launch wider distribution on SiriusXM beginning June 3, according to multiple announcements. The weather channel, operated by FOX News Media as a free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service, will be carried on SiriusXM’s satellite-radio platform across North America. SiriusXM plans to offer Fox Weather through its app (channel 799) and on in-vehicle systems equipped with SiriusXM with 360L.
The distribution expansion is timed for the start of Atlantic hurricane season, as outlets describe the effort as a way to make more weather coverage available to listeners during major seasonal threats. One announcement states the channel will be free-to-air and available 24 hours a day to SiriusXM listeners, including during major weather events. SiriusXM’s planned carriage details include that listeners can access the channel via the SiriusXM app and supported vehicle hardware, aligning with the service’s broader goal of expanding weather-related programming alongside its existing content.
The coverage across sources focuses on the timing, the platforms where Fox Weather will appear, and the stated availability model for listeners.
