In late spring/early summer, XM will add six regional News & Talk channels (XM 134-XM 139) that will, for the first time, provide regional news coverage for every area of the continental US and complement the recent addition of acclaimed Cincinnati, Ohio talk channel, WLW - XM 173. These channels will be provided by Clear Channel Communications and will be located in a new category on our channel guide called "Regional News, Talk & Music Channels."
This new category will also include Clear Channel programmed music channels Nashville - XM 11, Kiss - XM 21, Mix - XM 22, Sunny - XM 24, plus WSIX - XM 161 (launching soon) with acclaimed country personality Gerry House live from Nashville.
