It ain’t nothin’ but non-stop Elvis for SiriusXM’s Elvis Radio channel which has been broadcasting live from Graceland 24/7 for the past seven years.
Tony “T Y” Yoken, a DJ at Elvis Radio, sat down to answer questions about the station.
Can you tell me a bit about the history of Elvis Radio?
The Elvis Radio Channel launched live from Graceland right here in Memphis on July 2nd, 2004 — just in time for the huge city wide 50th Anniversary Celebration of The Big Bang Of Rock & Roll!
Elvis’ longest on-going friendship was with George Klein who hosts two weekly shows on Elvis Radio. George and Elvis met and started hanging in 1948 when Elvis’ family moved to Memphis and he enrolled in the 8th grade at Humes High School. George says they met in music class!
We provide live coverage of landmark music, entertainment, and sports events here in Memphis including an annual Candlelight Vigil show every August 15th.
