History
Turbo made its debut on August 17, 2017 as a full-time channel devoted to hard rock from artists like Metallica, System of a Down, Linkin Park and more.[1]
PopRocks, which slots in on channel 17, will air music from the 1990s and 2000s in the pop-rock genre, a la Goo Goo Dolls, Train and Sheryl Crow; while Turbo, channel 41 (after a try-out as a streaming-only station), offers '90s/early-'00s hard rock from Linkin Park, Metallica and System of a Down.[2]
Prior to August 17, the channel was on channel 314 as a US only Xtra Channel. This slot is now occupied by the now punk rock-exclusive formatted Faction which has been rebranded as Faction Punk, however it is available on both US and Canadian versions of the Sirius XM app. [3]
