Faction Talk (original) (raw)

Faction Talk is a subscription-based channel on the satellite radio service Sirius XM Radio. The channel first aired on XM on August 6, 2004 as xL High Voltage in preparation for the launch of the American radio show Opie and Anthony several months later, and required subscribers to purchase the channel as a premium, until 2005. In 2006, the channel was renamed xL the ViRUS and became affiliated with additional radio shows and podcasts, including Ron and Fez. The channel became The Opie and Anthony Channel in 2011, until the firing of host Anthony Cumia led to the channel being renamed SiriusXM Talk from July 2014. Three months later, it was rebranded again as xL Opie Radio and became one of XM's nine "XL" channels for frequent explicit language. In 2017, following the break up of Opie with Jim Norton, it was renamed to "xL Faction Talk". (en)
