Perhaps the BBC has decided we are no longer a target audience in any
way shape or form....    :-(

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.

have added a music service called BBC Radio One.  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.
