My XM Presets

The-Major

The-Major

Memo To Myself,

REDO my XM presets this Monday afternoon to reflect the following channels:

1 - The '90s - 9 - no change
2 - 20 On 20 - 20 - no change
3 - KISS-XM - 21 - no change
4 - XM Hit List - 30 - new channel
5 - MIX-XM - 22 - moves from preset 4
6 - Flight 26 - 26 - new channel
7 - U-Pop - 29 - old channel that I dropped a few months ago
8 - BPM - 81 - moves from preset 7
9 - The System - 82 - moves from preset 8
0 - Radio Classics - 164 - no change

THE MAJOR
 
My first bank:

1. 80's on 8
2. 90's on 9
3. The Blend
4. Big Tracks
5. Top Tracks
6. High Voltage
7. Air America
8. Chrome
9. Lucy
0. Local Traffic/Weather

What I'm thinking of doing:

1. 70's on 7 - I used to hate this channel, but lately it's really kicked butt
2. 80's on 8 - Sounding better now that it has a full time PD again
3. The Blend - I don't listen to this as much as I used to. If Hit List sounds good, then it may push 25 to the second set. If the 90's is going to be jockless, then it will live on the second or third set.
4. Flight 26 - This was my original preset for Mix, and Mix won't be on any of my presets anymore. If PJ is on this channel, it deserves a preset.
5. Big Tracks - I listen to this much more than I ever did Top Tracks.

The bottom 5 will be unchanged, although I may swap Chrome to the second bank for something that rocks.<P ID="signature">______________

Mine:

Edit: actually there will be a change

1 - 202 High Voltage
2 - 46 Top Tracks
3 - 49 Big Tracks
4 - 40 Deep Tracks
5 - 41 Bone Yard
6 - 47 Ethel
7 - 6 60's on 6 -- moves up to 8, 7 becomes 42 XMLM
8 - 7 70's on 7 -- Moves up to 9
9 - 8 80's on 8 -- Moves up to 0
0 - 44 Fred -- moves to another bank

and I rarely go past 5 when flipping around

may have some changes on my 2nd bank, But I don't even remember what I have on there<P ID="signature">______________

As you'll soon see, my presets are organized by channel number (mostly) and not by preference.

First bank:

1. 7 - 70s on 7 - very well done channel.
2. 8 - 80s on 8 - love the 80s music, but wish this was more hit based.
3. 20 - Top 20 on 20 - I'm not all that in to new music, but this is a good way to keep up with what's hot
4. 22 - Mix - well done mix of popular music
5. 25 - The Blend - good AC format that goes fairly deep at times.
6. 27 - Cinemagic - love this channel!

Second bank:

1. 83 - Chrome - always hit this when I want a good up tempo song.
2. 49 - Big Tracks - new channel is very well done classic rock format.
3. 121 - Fox News - good news programming, even when it's jsut the audio.
4. 142 - Fox Sports - I really have this here so I can either listen to what they have to say or scan quickly over to other sports programming.
5. 150 - XM Comedy - always good for a laugh.
6. 225 - Dallas/Fort Worth Traffic & Weather

I suspect I'll sample some of the new channels and may add them to my presets for a time while I do that.

After New Channels
(Haven't made my changes yet, but this is what it might look like)

First Bank:
Might bump The Message up to preset 1, Audio Visions to 2, then maybe put XM Chill on 3, then 4-10 will probably remain the same

Second Bank:
Might change Kiss to XM Hitlist, but haven't decided yet. If that happens, could move U-Pop to preset 4 and put XM Hitlist on 5.

I haven't filled all presets yet. Notice I have no music channels listed. I usually browse for them as I only have a home unit.A1. Air America (Al Franken rocks)2. Talk Radio (for Ed Schultz)3. Extreme XM (for Phil Hendrie)4. Fox News Talk (for Alan Colmes)5. 700 WLW6. Fox News7. MSNBC8. ESPN Radio9. Fox Sports Radio10. MLB Home PlateB1. CNN2. Sporting News Radio3. ESPNEWS4. Rotating: whatever channel the Reds are on
 
Here are my presets at the moment:A:1. Highway 162. Nashville3. Mix4. Pulse 265. Hitlist6. top 20 on 207. Liquid Metal8. Squizz9. Big Tracks10. US CountryB:1. ESPN Radio2. Sporting News Radio3. Fox SPorts Radio4. MLB Home Plate5. NHL Home Ice6. America Right7. High Voltage8. Fox News Talk9. Extreme10. Fox News ChannelC is just a combo of my favs from A and B1. ESPN2. Sporting News3. Fox Sports4. MLB Home plate5. NHL Home ice6. Highway 167. Big Tracks8. Mix9. Hitlist10. Pulse 26
 
as a new XM customer, I find it hard to program my presets for my favorite channels, and I've done a lot of listening in my car and at home. I find the best way is to just memorize all the channels, or most of them, especially the ones you like, which is a lot for me. I'm sure most of you all have your local cable channels (or sat) memorized.
