Willie's Place is a channel on the XM Satellite Radio network that specializes in playing traditional country music, as well as some older country hit songs. It is available on channel 13 on XM and channel 811 on DirecTV.
Artists that are on the playlist include Willie Nelson (the channel's namesake), Johnny Cash, Roy Clark, Hank Williams, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Glen Campbell, and Tanya Tucker.
Until July 10, 2006, this channel was called "Hank's Place" and was named for Williams. When this was announced, XM did not explain why the name was changed. Since then, however, Nelson's face has appeared in print advertising for XM, meaning that he has signed an endorsement deal, like those earlier signed by Bob Dylan and Snoop Dogg, as well as many other celebrity figures in all walks of life (e.g. Oprah Winfrey and Dale Earnhardt, Jr.).
A program featuring cowboy poetry airs on Sunday nights.
