I'm curious what E! Entertainment Radio, VH1, and MTV Radio sounded like. Was 24 Sunny at that point, owned by Clear Channel? Were there more jocks back then then there have been say, lately?
Thanks!

E!, which just recently was dropped, was basically TV audio -- a lot of celebrity profiles that had originally aired on the TV network. MTV Radio and VH1 Radio played big mainstream hits, nothing that you wouldn't find elsewhere on XM. They also replayed TV audio; I remember hearing several of the VH1 "Behind The Music" profiles on VH1 Radio.

Sunny was a "beautiful music" channel, and yes, it was owned by Clear Channel. Clear Channel has owned a chunk of XM bandwidth since Day One as a condition of its initial sizable investment in the company.

Technically, it wasn't owned by Clear Channel; it was just initially programmed by Clear Channel. XM began programming Sunny (as well as all the other channels CC helped them launch) on its own, but Clear Channel got to program them again, I think, after arbitration settled a dispute between the two.

Actually there was no Sunny in 2001. It was called Lite, and it was a simulcast of WLTW in New York.
