XM's new lineup card released

[tomservo]

Found this on another XM-specific site and thought I'd share here for those of you who stick around Radio-Info.

New XM Channel Lineup Card (PDF)

All the rumoured channels are indeed gone; NPR talk, Catholic Channel and BBC Radio 1 are among the new/changed channels. BBC World Service isn't gone, but changed to the Sirius "World Service News" feed, apparently. Which sucks, since the WS no longer broadcasts any other way except online to the US.

5 hours 15 minutes till liftoff ;D

Changes began early, at about 11:56 EST.

Fine Tuning went out with a bang - right in the middle of one of the goofiest songs I've ever heard. Kinda wish I'd written down the title now!

XM changed 40 minutes ago. No changes on XM's website. Sirius has not changed yet. I have the Pulse on on both XM and Sirius now. They are playing different songs. Radio Margaritaville is the same on both. Just hoping that this Kids Place Live is the same as Sirius Kids Stuff or my 4 year old will freak out.

Well I'm still waiting for the receivers that can pick up both network feeds.

I am not happy so far. The decade channels have jocks talking after every song. I might be forced to cancel

Mornings have always had more talk breaks. For just music get an iPod. Your comment is a bit ironic given your screen name. I think the guys are doing just fine....so far!

...and for blathering DJs, incessant promos, edited hip hop music and the same crap I can get for free on radio we have FM. We don't need XM to become another FM, minus commercials. And it doesn't need to be jockless jukebox crap either. We've gone from one extreme to another.

They killed Fred, Ethel and Lucy! So much for XM's brand equity.

Doesn't it seem like Sirius "won" this merger? Plus XM2 is now gone, so no chance of stumbling onto those Dylan-a-thons where they played all his shows at once.
