Re: [Swprograms] New XM Channel Lineup

[<jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is correct.  BBC Radio 1 on Sirius and XM carries the same schedule on a five hour delay.

However, there is cause for alarm.  It appears that XM's BBCWS is now identical to the PRI feed carried by BBCWS on Sirius.  Therefore, the Americas stream--which carries a wider variety of programs than the PRI stream--apparently can no longer be heard anywhere (!?) in North America.  I'm going to try and get confirmation on this from the BBC.  If this isn't a mistake, it's a significant loss IMHO.

I ahve not listened yet so do not know if this is the real BBC Radio One or just a music service that plays the same kind of trash.
