Sirius XM Radio has announced that it will launch "Muppet Radio," a five-day limited run Thanksgiving week channel hosted by Kermit the Frog featuring new and classic Muppet music and an array of Muppets interacting with hosts from SiriusXM's talk/entertainment, music and sports channels.

"Muppet Radio" will launch on November 23 at 12:01 am ET and air through November 28 at 3:00 am ET on SiriusXM channel 145, online on SiriusXM Internet Radio channel 813 and through the SiriusXM Internet Radio App on smartphones and mobile devices on Limited Engagements 3.

"Muppet Radio" will feature music from the new movie Disney's "The Muppets," as well as holiday favorites from Kermit and company and classics from the Muppet archives.

"Muppet Radio" also features interviews with Disney's "The Muppets" star/screenwriter/executive producer Jason Segel, the film's director James Bobin and screenwriter/executive producer Nicholas Stoller. Gonzo and Fozzie will host a Muppets' "The Green Album" special featuring covers of classic Muppet songs including "The Muppet Show Theme Song" performed by OK Go, "Rainbow Connection" performed by Weezer and Hayley Williams and My Morning Jacket's rendition of "Our World."

"Having the Muppets take over at SiriusXM was amazing! Lots of rocking, rolling, talking, laughing...and, of course, we spilled a lot of wet sticky stuff in the control room," said Kermit the Frog.

"The Muppets have been a wonderful part of so many of our listeners' lives over the years, an iconic brand and truly unique entertainers," said Jeremy Coleman, SiriusXM's Senior Vice President, Talk & Entertainment Programming, "It's a pleasure to launch 'Muppet Radio' to bring back those memories and get a fresh taste, as we found when the Muppets ran from studio to studio interacting with our hosts."
