Audio Visions was my favorite channel on XM. IMHO it was much better than Spa 73 on Sirius. Russ Davis did a good job with the music mix and he was always pleasant in email chats about the channel. Now he is gone. Audio Visions was moved to channel 72 and renamed Spa.
Depending on the music over the next few days it's going to be the deal or no deal for me. If both Spa channels have essentially the same sound I don't see any reason to keep my XM sub. Spa on Sirius seems like Smooth Jazz while Audio Visions went with more space music. Plus Gurmit's voice was a treat to for my ears even if the sweepers were getting old.
