After a decade hosting Sunday nights on SiriusXM’s “Little Steven’s Underground Garage“, Rodney Bingenheimer concluded his weekly show this past Sunday but will continue to host monthly specials on the channel.

The 79 year-old Bingenheimer joined SiriusXM in 2017 following an over four decade run as “Rodney on the ROQ” at KROQ Los Angeles. A former publicist and club operator, Bingenheimer used his connections in the music industry to help launch many prominent bands including the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Tom Petty, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Van Halen, The Clash, The Smiths, The Go-Go’s, The Bangles, The Runaways and Oasis.

Underground Garage creator/Executive Producer Stevie Van Zandt said, “As listeners to Little Steven’s Underground Garage on SiriusXM Channel 21 know, it has been our honor to host the Rodney Bingenheimer Show these past 10 years. As the visionary, history-making DJ celebrates his 50 years on the air, he has decided he wants to slow down a bit. So we will be transforming his weekly show into monthly specials. Rodney is one of the most important DJs in the history of Rock and Roll. He heard things before everybody else heard them. He gave artists a chance before anybody knew who they were, and in doing that, he helped change music. We are proud to have him as part of the Underground Garage family and very happy that he will continue sharing his extraordinary musical instincts with our listeners. Stay tuned…”
