Title: Beach Boy Channel on Sirius XM for additional charge
Post by: Jim Curtis on November 12, 2023, 09:32:34 AM
I tried to get channel 503 on Sirius XM which is the Beach Boy channel thru December 9.  They are charging an additional $6/ month to get this channel.  Then try to cancel……..  a shame for what they charge me

Haven't bothered listening to it and didn't realize you had to pay extra.  No thanks.  As much as I love this band I get quickly fatigued whenever I try listening to that station.  I don't know if it's the scattershot playlist that jumps all over the place or my attention span just isn't what it used to be but that station just works best for me in small doses.  I'm glad SiriusXM has it at all though.  I wondered what compelled them to bring it back?

 Not all Sirius XM radios can be tuned to premium channels such as 503. However, if you use the Sirius XM app you can listen to 503 without paying a premium surcharge.

Thanks…you are correct.  I Dow the app, paired it to my cars Sirius XM account and was able to listen this afternoon.   I find the programming poor.  Between 2 pm and 3:30 pm they played the following songs twice:

Rock and roll music
Darlin
Wouldn’t it be nice
Dance dance  dance

Needs better programming because their music portfolio is huge
