SiriusXM Launches New Music Channels Showcasing Music from the 1990s and 2000s

NEW YORK , Aug. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced today that it will expand its extensive and industry-leading lineup of commercial-free music channels with the launch of two channels: Turbo and PopRocks. These full-time music channels will launch on August 17 on SiriusXM's satellite platform available to more than 32 million subscribers.

First incubated online on SiriusXM's streaming platform, Turbo and newcomer PopRocks will be curated by SiriusXM's critically acclaimed music programming team. Turbo (channel 41) showcases hard rock from the 1990s and early 2000s from artists such as Linkin Park , Korn, Papa Roach, Godsmack, System Of A Down, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Limp Bizkit and Disturbed. PopRocks (channel 17) will present pop rock from the '90s and 2000s, including The Killers, Coldplay, Sheryl Crow , Goo Goo Dolls, Train, No Doubt and Matchbox 20.

These new channels are the latest examples of SiriusXM developing and introducing unique audio formats not heard on traditional radio. Formats originated and unique to SiriusXM include The Coffee House (singer-songwriter and acoustic versions); Lithium (grunge rock and '90s alternative); Chill (downtempo electronic and deep house); Pop2k (pop hits from the 2000s); Y2Kountry (country hits from the 2000s); and FLY (hip-hop and R&B from 'the 90s and 2000s).

Just an FYI though...even though ch 6070 is marked SXM Love, it's (still) going to stay Yacht Rock for now, like it was on 6017...

I can't tell you how huge SiriusXM on Dish is for me. It has been one of the deciding factors between them and Directv for me for a long time. I'm really glad Dish continues the relationship with them.

I wish Dish would improve the sound quality of their Sirius channels. Classical music is unlistenable with the current bps. I get Xfinity Music Choice and it sounds much better, simply because they provide it with more bandwidth.

I contend Dish Sirius XM is better SQ than on a SiriusXM (XM) radio.

I contend Dish Sirius XM is better SQ than on a SiriusXM radio.

Agreed. I think the bitrate on the stand-alone radios is between 64-128 kbps. Not sure what it is on Dish, but it seems more consistent across all channels.

Absolutely!

When I want really high bitrate streaming, I just use Spotify Premium or Pandora with high-quality audio turned on. I think you can toggle that setting on the free accounts, too.

I've given up on Spotify due their lack of shuffling channels ability. I have yet to encounter a settings option you suggested with Pandora.

It's under settings, then Advanced

 

[Bobby]

Yep, it will go to higher quality audio even without a sub.

As I suspected, that's a cellular usage option, not a general account setting.

Some of those are considered limited engagement channels. I doubt we would ever see them on Dish
