XM Satellite Radio has officially announced the XM Exclusives channel - or XMX - that we learned about from the leaked channel guide a few days ago.
If you were one of the skeptical, this thankfully validates that the channel changes in that guide were, in fact, real... albeit the timing was off by a month. XMX and the other changes will all go live on August 1st. Ah, the beauty of unofficial information!
XMX will feature XM's most popular original music shows, including "Theme Time Radio Hour with Your Host Bob Dylan," "Ludacris' Open Mic," "Tom Petty's Buried Treasure," "In the Swing Seat with Wynton Marsalis," "Quincy Jones' Off the Charts" and XM's signature performance/interview series "Artist Confidential," all in one place.
XM also announced the merging of XM Cafe and Hear Music, as well as those college sports channel changes that we also knew all about.
Check out the XMX info page here, and rejoice in that this wasn't another Radio Wasabi incident.
AWESOME!
I hate when i miss Theme Time Radio Hour. Love that show almost more than anything else on sat radio. Dylans play list is second to none. Thank you XM.
Radio Wasabi? Wow. What a callback.

Updated Look.. Does not show new channels/channel changes.. YET
I'm really excited about this particular change, it's always a hassle to try to find the shows I've missed in reruns.
I'll second that on the Dylan program. Happened to catch his "summer" theme time radio hour last week. Great stuff. He's a natural.
As long as they don't play that annoying "the program you are looking for has not yet started..." loop.. This should be a good channel..
