oops, I got some of my pre-set channels wrong
Ch 19 Boneyard and Ch 75 Siriusly Sinatra

I don't know if there were any major changes to Sirius channels post merger, I'm sure there were but none of my favorites changed.

I do know that this past spring my radio did an update at least once a day for like 2 months.

Chris - when XM and Sirius merged, the numbers stayed the same on the devices, but XM's stations adopted Sirius' names for almost all of the music stations. The only 2 I can think of off the top of my head that didn't change were Watercolors and Chill. Some of the XM stations were resurrected later, too, just to add to the confusion. So on XM, The Boneyard became Hair Nation, then they brought back The Boneyard on a different channel.

It was very annoying for some of us who were attached to the stations. I especially miss the station drops for Lucy and The Boneyard.

Those are Sirius channels, aren't they, Tony? Some of the names are the same, but the channel number is different than XM's.

Let's see
4 Rock channels
Ch 14 Classic Vinyl, Ch 19 Buzzsaw, Ch 20 Octane, Ch 23 Hair Nation
2 News channels (got to check in on the world occasionally, just in case)

Sports: Ch 123 Mad Dog Radio, 124 NFL Radio (the best)
101 Howard Stern 2 (for down time between Sports shows)

and my guilty pleasures, Ch 80 Symphony Hall and Ch 77 Siriusly Sinatra

Hidden gems I like to check in on?
Ch 125 World Soccer Daily, Ch 122 Hockey Night in Canada Radio

I love being able to listen to both local radio Play-by-Play teams for every NFL game!

Been on XM since '07. Have a Delphi Roady XL for the car & office, and a Pioneer INNO portable for my morning walks and in my game room.
