The former Beatle is teaming up with U.S.-based Sirius XM to form Band on the Run Radio, which begins its month-long broadcast on Monday, December 6.

The project is the second time McCartney has launched a pop-up channel with Sirius - in 2008, the station featured Fireman Radio, dedicated to the musician's side-project with record producer Youth.
