I tend to troll up and down the XM dial alot and I just wanted to comment on a few things I’ve noticed lately.

X Country XM 12 - When you first hear the name of the station and its location on the dial you’re thinking its just a regular country music station. I am definitely not a country music fan, actually very far from it….very very far from it. They play more bluesy/guitar type music. I’m told this is a genre called Progressive Country. Call it what you want, but I’ve really enjoyed it alot

Deep Tracks XM40 - I know I have had quite a few mentions of Deep Tracks in the past. If you really thought you have no interest in Deep Tracks. I urge you to listen to Deep Tracks Essential 5002. It will give you a good overall perspective on the station.

Fred XM 44 - This station had really lost its direction for awhile. It seemed to have no cohesiveness to it. Fred just became extremely hard to listen to. I’ve been listening to it here and there this week. The programming has gotten way better and they are truly playing classic alternatives now. The only thing its really missing is DJs and some shows. Just wanted to point out that it has improved alot.

Opie and Anthony - XM 202 High Voltage - I really enjoyed O & A this past week from CES. The big difference to me was the guests. I think they should have more guests rolling in. I think it would add a lot to the show.
