Lachey serves as host on the Gospel Music Channel show, which premiered on Wednesday. The singer and former "Dancing With The Stars" champ says the show has a more low-key approach than other singing competitions.

"'America Sings' is more of a grassroots interpretation of a music show," he told OnTheRedCarpet.com in a satellite interview on June 17. "This really is the people that are doing the singing. They're submitting videos of themselves to us in their natural area, the way they want to be singing. "

"You know if it's a church choir, it's them performing in the church. We have flash mobs that are coming for malls and all over the place, guys performing in subways and it really is just kind of a grass roots music show," he added.

The winner of the show, which is based on public vote, earns a $10,000 reward. "It's got a different take on it. It's not over the top and blown out," Lachey said. "It really is strictly about the music and the people that love doing what they do."

"We got some award-winning glee clubs and gospel choirs and concert choirs. Some of the guys in the subways just rock it out," he added.

Lachey's brother and fellow 98 Degrees band mate, Nick Lachey, serves as host of the NBC singing competition "The Sing-Off." It was announced on June 16 that Nick Lachey's fiancée Vanessa Minnillo will serve as host of the upcoming fifth season of the game show "Wipe Out."

"She has a new hosting gig and you know, we're just a hosting family for some reason now," Drew Lachey said. "Everybody's hosting but it's fun, we're having a good time with it, and I wish her the best of luck with it.

SiriusXM to Rearrange Satellite Radio Channel Listings - Rumor Central

Three years after merging together, SiriusXM is now overhauling its channel lineup, finally forcing both Sirius and XM subscribers to dial into identical channel numbers.

The reorganization primarily allows the satellite radio giant to organize its channels by content. All channels within the same genre will be grouped together, and related genres will be located near to one another in the lineup. It will also be adding more local traffic channels, as well as a dedicated “pop-up” channels, which only play for a limited amount of time. Similar channels that were previously only available to either Sirius subscribers or XM subscribers will also be combined into a single station (much like how Sirius XMU absorbed XM’s Left of Center channel, for instance), and more channels will be available by means of the company’s streaming online radio service.

When subscribers turn on their radios this Wednesday, May 4, they will find the new channel lineup already in play, although SiriusXM says that they will not need to reset any radio presets — the new channel numbers should transfer over for most subscribers’ radios along (although some customers will need to refresh their receivers).

The stations will now be sorted starting with the pop stations, followed by rock, hip-hop, dance, country, and so on. The satellite radio service provides over 135 channels of music, news, and entertainment to more than 20.2 million subscribers nationwide. SiriusXM is available on almost every make and model in the U.S. from Acura to Volkswagen (and also Harley-Davidson motorcycles!).
