Whats Classic Radio?
Loke old time radio? If yes then Sirius and XM both carry Radio Classics but each service has seperate DJ's.

Both sercices refer to it as Classic Radio or Radio Classics. They have separate announcers and a different schedule. Aklso Sirius has some programming that does not come from that service. But I was wondering if the vote would be as one sided in this case. So far it is not.
BTW i thought that there might be some confusion with Classical music programming hence the description in the first post.

Well that is not quite what I was after. Classic Vinyl is reallya rock channel. But so be it.

SIRIUS
I've always been a fan of XM's Classical lineup, and since Fine Tuning throws in Classical Music with early Genesis as well as current folk, I've got to give them the thumbs up.

i guess this is my fault. This is not about classical music or clasic rock. It si about calssic radio. largely reruns of old radio shows although Sirius does present some other programming on its channel.
Radio Classics is what I thought this specific poll was about. Programs like:

Well after a week the scoree is Sirius 12 XM 11. the Sirius wins treak is intact. This wek's poll----News
The phrase you're looking for "OTR" = Old Time Radio. :up
I started when I had XM & continued with Sirius when I switched late last summer in anticipation of Howard. I'm hooked on the stuff.
www.radioclassics.com It is indeed the same programming on both.
XM features a DJ between shows that gives some history of the show coming up or ending.
Sirius just plays old music in between shows.
Sirius also features a new Twilight Zone series though it only is played once on Saturday and once on Sunday. Due to this, I've never caught the show however. They should really play it more & during teh week, I'm not sure why they do not.
In the end the differences are a DJ for a few minutes an hour vs. new OTR style programming.
For me, I vote Sirius based on the slight programming advantage. The XM DJ while interesting sometimes is mostly as boring as Sirius' old time music filler.
