No easy answer!
> Which music stations have em which dont?

Some stations have hosted shows,but are automated the rest of the time.
Some don't have them at all.
Some have them most of the day.
You should state what form of music You are interested in,then someone can tell You if they have DJ's.

50's on 5 has lots of jocks, 60's on 6 has Terry Young's request show, the love song dedication show is the only jocked program on 7 AFAIK, and 8 and 9 have plenty of jocks also.

Really? I swear 9 only has two jocks. Priestly and the chick... going blank on her name. They are the only two I ever hear on 9. But I hear one of them ALL THE TIME - it's always one or the other like 14 hours out of the day, I swear.

Re: No easy answer!
50s on 5 has Ken Smith and Matt The Cat. 60s has "Phlash" Phelps, Pat Clark and Terry "Motormouth" Young. Haven't listened to 70s much, but well-known radio personality Bobby Ocean is on in the afternoons.
I believe country channels 10 and 11 are jockless, but there are jocks on in the daytime on 12, 13 and 16.
XM Cafe (45) has some people. Since voice-tracking is often used, it wouldn't surprise me if some jocks appear on more than one channel.
60s on 6 is the first channel I know of which has a jock on (either live or otherwise) almost 24/7, which wasn't the case a few months ago.
I believe the Cafe may also have voice-tracking at night.
Oh, I forgot 60 (Soul Street.) Jocks in the daytime there, too.
I may be in the minority, but I like to hear people with the music. And if I'm not near the display, there's a bonus: I can probably find out which song played, if it's unfamiliar and something I like.

Kurt Gilchrist, the channels program director, does a minimalist shift occasionally. There used to be a woman named Sari who had a similar shift, but she left XM to "pursue other opportunities" a few months ago. Jocks' duties on that channel generally consist of reading promotional copy for other channels or for XM equipment, not entertaining the listener or saying anything about the music. Somebody on one of the fan boards once posted that he'd e-mailed Gilchrist about the bland sound of the channel and got a response that '70s Top 40 radio, which 70s on 7 tries to duplicate, was dominated by bland, time-and-temp-reading DJs. Needless to say, many listeners who vividly remember great personality radio during that decade disagreed mightily, but the channel hasn't changed for the better. In fact, it sounds more sterile than ever.
Interesting XM factoid: The two jocks on The Loft, Mike Marrone and Kate Bradley, are NEVER on the air live. They swap voicetracked six-hour shifts, all recorded several hours to several days in advance, yet the channel still has a very "live" feel to it.

He hit the sound of the 70's right on the nose. It's pretty much bland. They need a jock like a "Super Max Kinkle" or John "Records" Landecker or something like that.

Re: No easy answer!

YES! Thank you for the reminder. As I get burned on XM I've been listening less. Will probably cancel this month and switch to Sirius.
