Some notes:
"enLighten" is moving to channel 805 on SiriusXM Internet Radio, where you can continue to hear great Southern Gospel music from artists like Gaither Vocal Band, Gold City and Inspirations.

If you have an XM radio, you'll find sports schedules on Preview Channel 1 beginning May 4th.

Channel 18 is now "SiriusXM Limited Engagements," the new home for our unique and exclusive 'pop-up' channels featuring music, comedy, talk and more.

"Willie's Place" has joined forces with "The Roadhouse" to become "Willie's Roadhouse," on SiriusXM Channel 56. "Willie's Roadhouse" will feature music from Willie Nelson, along with other classic country artists like Merle Haggard, George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and more.

After May 4th, we'll still bring you the college conference games you love on XM Channels 190–198, 202 and 203. However we've renamed those channels "Sports 190, Sports 191," etc. to better represent the expanded sports action you'll now find on those channels.

The return of the online-only channel, "SiriusXM Music Showcase," a channel featuring some of the best music specialty programs and exclusive celebrity hosts on SiriusXM. You'll find it on Channel 809.

"Sports Nation 2" has been renamed "Sports Zone" which will be located on SiriusXM Internet Radio Channel 860.

Now if they only got "smart" and allowed one to put XM radios on a Sirius subscription or visa vers. I have xm in my motorhome and 1 car (they came with the receivers) but I am subscribed to Siriius in my other cars and house. When I called they wanted me to start a nerw XM account at 15+ per month. Less money for them right now.

Thanks for posting that. We've been looking for the new channel listings. We have XM in my wife's car and Sirius in the truck. Both will have subscription expirations coming up later this year. It would be nice if SiriusXM gets their stuff in a pile before I have to renew both.

I think the lifetime is $700 now. I should have gotten it when it was around $400.

[Max Hubrich]

I was renewing a 3 yr (I think) subscription and when I found out it was only $30 more for a "lifetime" I jumped on it some years ago (about $460). That was before Sirius and XM got married.

I always said I wouldn't pay a penny that would go to supporting the "pig", H. Stern. Shows you how smart I am-.

"Roadhouse" and "Escape" are our favorites- Sinatra sometimes.

I'm an 'ole romantic and I found a tune , or a version of an ole tune, I never heard before. I had XM on Roadhouse and I was taking a "practice nap", you know like a couple hours before you turn in for the night- "practicing".
Well, this song came on and I sat straight up-. If any of you can buy this album, get it. I ordered it immediately that day from Amazon, You'll never be sorry- . The artist is Ben E. King, and the song is "Amour"- WOW- WOW- WOW! It is on his album "Stand by Me". Let me know if you have it, or have heard his version- It's unbelieveable.

Cheers,
