Ozzy's Boneyard (formerly The Boneyard) is a channel featuring a classic-based hard rock format on Sirius XM Radio channel 38 and Dish Network 6019.
Boneyard was the home of The Rock of Jericho, hosted by WWE wrestler Chris Jericho, until its cancellation in December 2006. Artists heard on Boneyard include Deep Purple, Metallica, AC/DC, Rush, Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, Manowar, Queensrÿche, Blue Öyster Cult, UFO, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, W.A.S.P., Guns N' Roses, Black Sabbath, Venom, Megadeth, Kiss, Sammy Hagar, ZZ Top, Alice Cooper, Y&T, Saxon, Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Scorpions, Ted Nugent, Motörhead, Savatage, Slayer, Van Halen, Queen, Anthrax, Pantera, Dio, and many more. Originally carrying a hard rock style of a Mainstream rock format, most of the newer rock (mostly alternative-based hard rock artists) went to its sister Squizz channel (which ceased operations on November 12, 2008 in favour of Octane) back in 2002. New music from established "Boneyard bands" can be heard on this channel during "Breaking Bone" segments. Alternative-based active rock music, mostly from 2000s artists, can only be found on its sister Octane channel.
