New XM Radio channels

WoooHoooo XM added back the Jam channel (56). I also noticed today that they have added new channels and changed some channel names.

So if you have XM What are some of your favorite channels.

I like Classic rock (46)
Jam-on (56)
sometimes channel (66) when subsonic is on

 

well, i just canceled my subscription but i liked 48, 66, 68, sometimes 20, and what ever channel comedy was. I think i may try Sirius next.

 

I was sooooo close to doing that too but after they added all these channels that they took away a long time ago, I'm good with it again. I thing XM and Sirius are merging??? may be why the channels changed.

 

^^ yeah, i heard they were merging too, then i heard some stuff against it because they would be a sat. radio monopoly. i think the latest is that its back on though.... we'll see.

 

somethings going on...i've lost some of my old channels and gained some new ones. i'm not real happy because The Ryhme (65) , 66 Raw (66), and Squizz (48) are either gone, or have new names & DJ's. also missing that i can think of are XCountry (12) Cinemagic (27) and i'm sure there are others. good news is that AC/DC radio is still on! Let there be Rock!

 

They have already merged, but because of different technologies it will be some time, from my understanding, before they are one entire entitiy.

Sirius also release a new station lineup today.

Also, If you have Sirius they offer "The Best of XM" package so you can get the more popular XM stations mostly the sports stations and Opie and Anthony.

 

The merge was approved last summer and they are now listed as Sirius XM on the stock exchange.
Sirius now has the xm channels 4-9 for the '40s - '90s. The Joint was added to sirius programming and several other changes occured as well.

Now if the DJ's can just shut up and play the music like they used to do; all will be well. I remember the good 'ol days back in '03 when you would listen to an XM station for 8 hours and hear two 10 second interruptions to identify which station you were on. Now they chime in on most channels to tell you something stupid that happened on TV last week. Who Cares!!

 

yea man 66 raw has a new name maybe different programming. hope they didnt take away "slap a mother F'er Monday", that miz kitty show is funny

 

I had XM for a while and I hated it. I generally listened to 66 Raw but that got old quick. I would leave work at 5:00 and on my 20 minute drive home I would be lucky if I heard one song. I couldn't care less about what the dj lady was saying about the place she went the night before. Play some freaking music! I'm back to Sirius and I am very happy with it.

 

This bummed me out completely because they replaced Fungus 53 with it, I like AC/DC, but they whiped out my favorite channel in the process.

 

Some of the channels like the AC/DC channel are temporary - they will rotate them out for others over time.

 

Yea the Led Zeppelin Channel was great.

 

Led Zeppelin 24/7 is back now as channel 39. Attached is a PDF of the new line up.........

 

Sweet thanks for the file.

 

any idea how much the best of Sirus costs?

 

i've been a subscriber of xm since the very beginning when i got my tuner for free since i used to be a car audio installer. i always wanted to get sirius but never changed over. now i can get some of their best channels. it's like it's new all over again.

 

Squizz (48) They have changed the name to Octane, But Bohdi is still the DJ.
AC/DC channel (52)
I miss the Metallica channel
Ethel (47)
Boneyard (41)
Comedy (150)
Comedy (151)
Ocassionally (22)

I've had xm for 3 or 4 years now.

 

they changed some of the sirius stations also,radio updated this morning, and now i'm getting a mix of sirius and xm channels

 

Channel 40 - Deep Tracks - works best for me. Kinda like off-roading places you have not driven in a while.

 

I appreciate the recent addition of Underground Garage to the XM line-up ...

... but I can't say I like the other XM program changes much so far ...
