List of Sirius XM Radio channels

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since 2008, Sirius XM Radio has had a similar channel lineup, with a few differences based on whether the individual has a Sirius, XM, or SiriusXM radio. For technical reasons, separate radios continue to be manufactured for the separate services despite the programming lineups having since been merged. The Lynx and Edge radios are on the SiriusXM platform, the Onyx and XM3pi radios are on the XM platform, and the Sportster and Starmate radios are on the Sirius platform.[1]

The following is a list of channels on Sirius XM and Sirius XM Canada. There are over 150 full-time channels on Sirius XM, over 140 of which are on Sirius XM Canada.[2] Not included are channels that are specifically used for live sports programming (most of the listed channels, mainly on News and Talk/Comedy, are usually preemptive for sports play-by-play), as well as former music channels that were merged with a duplicate music channel after the merger.
