Rouge FM - RockVelours

RockVelours

From 2006 to 2010, Astral also programmed a satellite radio channel for broadcast on Sirius Canada and the American Sirius Satellite Radio, using the same format as the RockDétente stations but branded as RockVelours ("Velvet Rock"). The channel was originally located on channel 192, but moved to its current channel 88 in June of 2008. Its logo was also updated to include its current channel number.

This channel was programmed separately from the terrestrial stations, and was hosted by Mélanie Gagné and Jean-François Fillion. However, Astral Media sold the channel to Sirius Canada in September 2010, dropped the English artists and renamed it L'Oasis francophone, having a similar fate made with Énergie2 that time.
