Sirius XM Intros New Channels & Moves Others
If you subscribe to Sirius XM, you may find some old favourites aren't where they used to be. (One place where traditional radio has an advantage is the stations almost never move from one position to another!) They've also added a few newcomers.

The move of Deep Tracks stood out to me.
It was always used as an example of something satellite radio did that FM couldn't/wouldn't.
The way they position and promote channels seems to show that most of the listening is happening to stations that sound more like what's viable in commercial radio.

Well they still could/should use it as an example of something that FM doesn't anymore but I was not happy with the move to a much higher channel. Was listening on Sunday or Monday when post time change they played a whole bunch of tracks with the word darkness, Was waiting for Darkness, Darkness by the Youngbloods but they played a version by Ritchie Havens. Still a nice throwback to when DJ's would do stuff like that. Earl Bailey was the announcer.

Except shunting it off to the hinterlands suggests that angle of promotion is not effective for them.

Disappointed to lose the jocks on Soul Town, though Smokey Robinson is a pretty good replacement.

They didn't stop at moving channels around.
On December 14th they are also introducing a new streaming app, targeting "A new generation of SiriusXM listeners"
"A newly-priced Streaming All Access Plan for $9.99 a month*"
New logo, and "Stella" the dog also has a fresh new look.
