Sirius added three new channels yesterday, moving some others around in the process. The new channels are Lithium on channel 24 ('90s Alternative), Siriusly Sinatra on channel 75 (Frank Sinatra music, duh), and The Foxxhole on channel 106 (urban comedy, with Jamie Foxx as a contributor).
Of course, the one that excites me the most is the '90s Alternative channel. Alt Nation and Octane each had '90s flashback weekends over the last two weekends, each of which brought back many songs I'd either forgotten about or never heard before. Even though I caught a couple songs which are definitely not from the '90s yesterday ("Ch-Check It Out" and "Feeling This", which came out in 2004 and 2003 respectively), and I imagine they won't be able to go an hour without playing a Nirvana song, it still thrills me to no end since it does fill a gap in their programming. The only objection I have is this four-channel block that now exists.
21: Alt Nation
22: First Wave
23: Hair Nation
24: Lithium
So that's modern rock, 70's/80's alternative, hair metal, and 90's alternative. I mean, wouldn't it have made infinitely more sense to put the station on 23 instead? But I digress.
