XM Satellite Radio, will deliver the gift of holiday music to its listeners from coast to coast throughout the holiday season.
XM will devote four of its digital radio channels to holiday music beginning Thanksgiving Day, November 25. Each channel will feature a different style of holiday music without commercial interruption 24 hours a day through December 27:
• XM's beautiful-music channel Sunny (XM Channel 24) will play traditional and orchestral holiday classics by Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, the Boston Pops Orchestra, and other favorites.
• The Heart (XM Channel 23) will be renamed Holly during the holidays, and feature contemporary music of the season from artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Celine Dion, and the Jackson 5.
• The country channel Nashville (XM Channel 11) will offer a "Music City Christmas," playing holiday tunes from country artists of today and yesterday, including Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Tammy Wynette, and Jim Reeves.
• Special X-Mas (XM Channel 83) will serve up a mix of holiday novelty songs, oddball parodies, and rock covers of holiday classics. Special X-Mas will air in place of the disco channel Chrome.
The holiday music channels and Chrome will broadcast through the holidays on XM's Internet radio service XM Radio Online, and all of the channels will return to regular programming after the holidays.
