Reflection and Projection

The first week of Bootcamp was well chosen. The decades channels are generally easy listening while Lucy and Ethel aren't offensive even if you don't like alternative music. Kiss is what it is - a top 40 pop music channel - you like it or not. My rankings of the week's channels: 1. Ethel, 2. Lucy, 3. the 80's, 4. the 70's, 5. Kiss.

Next Week:

Mon. the 40's, big band/swing
Tue. the 50's
Wed. the 60's
Thu. Soul Street, classic soul
Fri. XM Cafe, modern/soft alternative
Sat. Top 20 on 20, top 20 hits

This should be an easy week for me. The decades channels are fun to listen to every now and then, Soul Street I often listen to and XM Cafe is a preset already.


Sunday Spotlight

Sporting News Radio
With the recent start of football, I thought that I would feature what I feel is the best overall sports talk on XM - Sporting News Radio, XM 143. Just avoid the horrible morning show (listen to Tony Bruno on Fox Sports instead) and you can't go wrong. Real sports talk for real fans.

Check out: James Brown (especially good for NFL talk), 10:00 am to Noon ET weekdays; Rick Ballou (especially good for college football talk), 10:00 pm to 2:00 am ET, weekdays; Chet Coppock, 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm, weekends.
