Tom Petty Radio on Sirius FM

[TomT127]

Tom Petty Radio was supposed to have started Nov 20 as part of Sirius FM yet I'm not getting it. Supposed to be on Sirius channel 31 yet not showing in the guide or even on Dish's website. Is anybody getting it? ( I have America's top 200)

The Tom Petty channel is not carried by Dish.... It is one of those that come and go so Dish doesn't carry any of those.

Same can be said about Howard Stern...

what i heard that this is a permanant channel not a part time channel if dish can pick this channel it is up to them

You just need to get a Sirius radio and then you can listen to this channel all you want.

 

[TomT127]

Not really different from Radio Margaritaville, Grateful Dead channel or Pearl Jam Radio channel so I don't understand why not.

Because there is already Radio Margaritaville, Pearl Jam Radio, and the Grateful Dead Radio... If it is really close to those, then why add a 4th?? Just like the folks that want Accuweather in addition to WeatherNation and TWC.

Stern is not carried for very different reasons. You will notice no talk shows are carried by DISH likely SiriusXM does not want them to be carried or they can not be by contract. I can't imagine SiriusXM wants Stern anywhere but on their own systems. As Bobby said those that come and go seem to never be carried by DISH, it's possible Petty will be permanent like Elvis, which is carried by DISH. If so maybe DISH would carry it eventually.

Well I wouldn't know if they are the same since I don't get it. From what I understand it's not costing Dish any extra so why not?

if you would like to get it send dish a request remember you can only request it only on once since dish only records your request only once.

This would work? Do I just send an email to customer support?

 

[ChadT41]

It would be a request, not a guarantee. They do take channel requests, but it may take years for anything to develop, if anything.

but I'm sure you continue to do it

My question to the OP, when did Sirius get on FM? All joking aside, just as to which others have alluded, it is all contract based. Dish's contract is for the current lineup from SiriusXM that it has. Dish does not get to add any music channel when they launch.

Not to get to off topic, but IMO there should be a Clapton channel on sirius/xm if they are going to all have the others that they do. He has a HUGE catalog with all the bands he has been a part of over the years and exposed musical genres to millions they would otherwise be ignorant to.

In a perfect world Buddy Guy would have a channel for a million different reasons, and is truly the last of his generation (can't think of the right word now) and has influenced anyone worth a f..k who ever picked up a electric guitar in the last 50 years.
