XM Satellite Radio On DirecTV

[JeeperOne]

Hi everyone:

I just got DirecTV service recently and am left wondering just why DirecTV seems to have only a part of the entire XM channel lineup. I mean, there's NO talk channels aside from the one that Oprah Winfrey seems to occupy and The Virus. Is it just me?

You would think XM would wanna have the entire lineup listed on DirecTV instead of just part of it. Dontcha think?

Thoughts?

They cant. Legal stuff is the reason. but part of the talk lineup is. fox news is on directv as is cnn, cnn headline news and espn news. but not under the xm section ;D

They would rather you buy the monthly service from them after hearing the 'free sample' channels, so that they can pay their program providers.

I am curious though, Are the clear channel stations such as 22, 24 and other clear channel music stations on Direct TV? Also are most of the music channels on Direct TV?

No they're not. Although the Worldspace owned music channels, UPop, World Zone, and The System, are on DirecTV.
