Sirius Satellite Music Covers Many Niches
By Nikos L Maxwell
Do you ever find yourself relentlessly station flipping
on an already aggravating drive home from work? You
probably have that feeling that if you could just find
that one feel-good, sing-along tune you’re craving,
all the chaos and stress would just melt away.
With Sirius Satellite Radio, say goodbye to all your
frustrations and program in up to 30 sure-fire stations
that will revitalize your mood and satisfy your musical
needs, static and commercial-free.
The Sirius stations appeal to people of all different
markets and niches. One is the middle-aged "I love
all music" types.
Hits, Rock, Country, Jazz And Classical Music Stations
For these people, there’s "Sirius Hits 1,"
a top 40 station which plays everything from Avril Lavigne,
Kanye West and Junior Senior to Fall Out Boy, Nickelback
and Linkin Park. The "Sirius Supermix" station
shuffles all of the other Sirius stations for one of
the most diverse line ups you can imagine.
If you’re feeling stressed out, perhaps Sirius Radio
Classical or Jazz will help you unwind. Try one of the
four Sirius satellite Jazz stations: "Jazz Café"
(smooth eclectic jazz like Richard Eliot and George
Benson), "Pure Jazz" (classic American jazz
like Miles Davis and John Coltrane), "Spa 73"
(soothing Enya and Yanni), "Sirius Blues"
(past and present blues from Muddy Waters to
Eric Clapton).
Relaxing With Classical Music
Classical music and Orchestra lovers will review their
options and enjoy Channel 80’s "Symphony
Hall" (featuring Mozart, Haydn, Bach, Dvorak).
Or catch thrilling classical performances from New York
City on "Metropolitan Opera Radio" (from Macbeth
to Le Prophete).
"Sirius Pops" gives you classical music favorites
like James Galway, George Gershwin, Frederic Chopin
or John Philip Sousa, and if you listen carefully you
may even catch music from Pirates of the Caribbean III
and other motion pictures!
Caters For Many Niche Markets
One of the best things about satellite radio is that
it panders to niche markets. Sometimes fans of the loud
and rowdy rock genres have a hard time finding a station
to suit their needs. Not on satellite radio!
If you’re having a hard time finding The Circle Jerks,
Dead Kennedys and The Misfits on the radio, try Channel
29’s "Punk" station. Or if you need some Lamb
of God, Slayer or Pantera, Channel 27 "Hard Attack"
will do you good.
Weekend Rave Music
Keep the weekend rave playing with Paul Van Dyk and
Deep Dish on "Area 33" or breakdance to your
favorite energetic tracks by the Chemical Brothers and
DJ Icey on Channel 34 "Boombox." Not enough
Grand Master Flash, LL Cool J and Run DMC? Check out
the Channel 43 "Backspin" for old school rap
at its finest.
Other niche markets include Country, with five different
Sirius satellite stations: "New Country" (Tim
Mcgraw, Terry Underwood, Toby Keith), "Prime Country"
(Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, George Strait), "The
Roadhouse" (Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton),
"Outlaw Country" (Waylon Jennings, Bob Dylan,
Merle Haggard) and "Bluegrass" (Ricky Skaggs
& KY, Lonesome River Band, Thunder).
Christian And World Music Lovers Are Covered
Christian listeners can choose from "Spirit 66"
with powerful hits from Third Day, Avalon and Point
of Grace or "Praise 68" with gospel favorites
by Kirk Franklin and Yolanda Adams.
The Latin / World markets will also get grooving with
XM radio stations tailored specifically to their needs:
"Universo Latino" (Latin pop mix including
Luis Miguel, Enrique Iglesias and Gloria Estefan), "Rumbon"
(Reggaeton with Marc Anthony, Tito Nieves and Ivy Queen),
"Band A Parte" (the French language music
scene), "Rock Velours" (Canadian soft rock
like Celine Dion, Sarah Mclachlan, Michael Buble), and
"Energie 2" (urban pop including French Canadians
like Eric Lapointe, Simple Plan and Coldplay).
Sports And Talk Radio Stations
In addition to music, there are even more specific
stations to choose from on Sirius satellite radio. Nine
sports stations focus on Soccer, Horse Racing, NBA,
NFL, Nascar, College Sports, CFL, AFL, ESPN.
Talk Radio includes: NPR, CNN, Fox News, BBC, World
Radio Network, Entertainment radio, CNBC, Bloomberg
financial Radio and Daily Variety. Need religion, weather,

More Satellite Radio Ideas....
Howard Stern has done it and so has Jay-Z. What did
they do? They switched to satellite radio as the only
way to listen to what they want, when they want. You
can switch too.
Do not be stuck in the same old station rut. Satellite
radios offer you the ability to listen to hundreds of
stations. If you feel like listening to the weather,
it is there for you.
