Excerpt....
"Among the channels XM is adding are: A classic rock channel called Big Tracks; a country channel called U.S. Country; a southern gospel station called enLighten and a heavy metal channel.

XM will also drop from the satellite radio service four other channels, making them available online only: a Christian music channel, a soul channel, a Latin jazz one and another with jam bands and progressive rock.

XM will also add seven regional news and talk channels, bringing its new channel total to 176 from 164. In the fall, XM is also launching a channel with talk show host Oprah Winfrey."

You can get more information about these changes on the XM lineup page here (http://www.xmradio.com/lineup/).

I don't like losing the jambands station. I listen to that one the second most often, after Deep Tracks (channel 40). Thank you very little, XM. :x

I guess that means The Mars Volta wont be heard on XM anytime soon.

I would miss the Jam Band/ Progressive rock as well. I listen to the Sirius version all the time.

YAAHHHH I'm so glad to hear they're bringing back XMLM. It went to online only when they started to offer online listening. :evil:

Now I wish I had gone with XM. :mad:

:D i like my XM and for 77. a year its a good deal......:D

I don't like losing the jambands station. I listen to that one the second most often, after Deep Tracks (channel 40). Thank you very little, XM. :x
I am bummed about that too. I'm also pissed that their losing NASCAR next year. That was one of the reasons I went with XM. Now its going to Sirius. Decisions, decisions. :D

Finally a REAL metal station I like the da Boneyard and Squizz but I need something more agressive like the type of music that scares small children and puppies.


BANG YOUR HEAD!!!!!!


DISCLAIMER (I do not make it a goal in my life to scare small children and puppies)

:sad: :cry: I'm losing XM in 2 days because my free trial is up! Now I have to wait for the 77 dollar deal to come my way :sad: :cry:

:sad: :cry: I'm losing XM in 2 days because my free trial is up! Now I have to wait for the 77 dollar deal to come my way :sad: :cry:or you could call like them and ask for it like so many people have already ;-)

Yeah but doesn't the free trial have to run out first?

Yeah but doesn't the free trial have to run out first?I specifically remember one person recently who said they got the CSR to honor it and it would kick in at the end of the trial. It's worth a shot.

or you could call like them and ask for it like so many people have already ;-)

Warning: This didn't work for me. The CSR wouldn't budge. I didn't have the patience to wait for them to call me and make the offer, so I renewed at full price.

*kicking self* Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I got the card in the mail.....after living without XM. The deal was until the end of March...I paid for 77. for the year.:D

I think I just might try to call once or twice a week and keep asking about the 77 until someone gives in and lets me have it. Maybe I will threaten to switch to sirius so that I can listen to stern, even though he is a dirtbag and I would never listen to him, I can use his popularity (although I have no idea why he has any) as leverage.
