XM carries 13 music channels Sirius doesn't carry and Sirius carries 6 music channels XM doesn't carry. The ones that Sirius XM programs that aren't available on the birds are available online (Sirius XM Hits 1, Sirius XM 20 on 20, The Groove, Cinemagic, Pop2K, The Village). The rest are as follows -

XM:
11 Nashville! (Clear Channel)
21 KISS (Clear Channel)
22 MIX (Clear Channel)
24 The Pink Channel (Clear Channel)
87 The Verge (XM Canada)
88 Air Musique (XM Canada)
89 Sur la Route (XM Canada)
161 Rock@Random (Clear Channel)

Sirius:
85 Iceberg Radio (Slaight Communications)
86 CBC Radio Three (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)
87 Bande a part (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)
88 Rock velours (Astral Media)
89 Energie2 (Astral Media)
 
Also The Village on XM 15, the only true folk music channel on either service and shamefully not on Sirius which several years ago discontinued Folk Town. This omission I do not understand at all.

If the Sirius XM programming suits (Sirius longtimers, for the most part, who scoffed at the Lee Abrams "anything goes" philosophy) didn't think folk music deserved a channel back then, why in the world would they put XM's folk channel on the Sirius service now?
