Top 5 XM channels

D

DashRiprock

How about an informal survey of XM listeners on this board? How long have you had XM, and what are your top 5?

Me:

Subscriber for 1 year.

Top 5:
40 - Deep Tracks
202 - Virus
44 - Fred
2 - XMX (Dylan and Petty all day is great)
164 - Radio Classics
 
I've had XM 2 1/2 years -

1. Any sports play by play channel (baseball and college football)
2. 131 - BBC World Service
2. 71 - Watercolors
3. 25 - The Blend
4. 46 - Top Tracks
5. 113 - XM POPS
 
1. Watercolors -- Smooth Jazz and Deep Playlist
2. The Heart -- I listen for Journey tunes
3. The Loft -- Too bad it is not more like Sirius Bridge. The Loft goes too deep and I tune out.
4. The Message -- Love the Michael W. Smith stuff.
5. US Country -- My source for Restless Heart
 
My Top 5:

1 60's on 6
2 Watercolors
3 50's on 5
4 70's on 7
5 Cinimagic


There are so many more though. I'm enjoying XM even more than I thought I would. I'd like '70's based oldies if they sounded like 70's on 7. I hear songs there that I haven't heard in a long time rather than just the same tired 70's songs. That goes for 60's on 6 too, lots of great songs!

Top 5 on XM:
1= XM7 70's on 7 - John Clay is a great manager for the channel
2= XM78 Escape - Where else can you get great elevator music anymore?
3= XM2 - Bob Dylan's Show plays songs you've never heard before
4= BBC World Service
5= XM6 60's on 6 - Phlash Phelps is a great quality talent

PLUS - will soon be adding WSM to this list!
 
I've had 1 radio for a year, the other for 9 months.

Here are my top 5:

1. Radio Classics 164
2. 70s
3. America
4. XM-X (I enjoy "Theme-Time Radio")
5. Baseball Play-by-Play

If the "A la Carte" thing worked my way, I'd forgo the foreign-language programs & get some of the Sirius channels.
 
I have had 2 XM's for about 6 years now.

It's really hard to pick the top five...In no random order...

78 Escape ( I agree 100 percent with Johnny on this one ;D )
7 Seventies on 7
24 Sunny
166 America Right
151 Laugh USA

A couple of quickies... I wish Clear Channel would have followed their plan and continued to have the Regional Stations. WLW is great, I am sure Country Fans like WSIX, is WSM Clear Channel? Extreme 152 was also great, until Clear Channel decided to have most of the shows on tape delay.
