[edit] Sirius
I added this entry today, but it doesn't look very good. I'm not terribly well versed in Wiki-tables, so I added as much information as I could for someone to pick up on and make this list look a lot better. RPIRED 00:17, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Note: It would be nice to have links from this page leading to updated schedules for each channel which has scheduled programs since Sirius.com does not appear to provide one. Comment posted on article page by 4.154.114.208 (talk • contribs)
[edit] Move per WP:MOS-TM
I have moved this page from "List of SIRIUS Satellite Radio stations" to "List of Sirius Satellite Radio stations." This is to conform with the Manual of Style, which states "Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment." All links to the old page have been redirected. --Aaron 23:09, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] inconsistencies?
I have sirius and looking at this list there seem to be some inconsistencies. for example, on my sirius radio, there are two NPR stations, the channel Kidzstuff (or however it's spelt) is located under the pop category, and there is no "christian" category (spirit is under pop, revolution is under rock and praise is under hip-hop) - just to name a few. --Phil 00:06, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Well, there's no reason that our list can't be more rationally put together than Sirius's own list (for example, putting the Christian channels together in one category), but you're absolutely right about the NPR Now channel being missing (I'll go add it) and I agree that the kid channel should be under Pop (I'll move that too). I'll leave the Christian section as-is for now, pending a consensus from others. --Aaron 00:24, 13 January 2006 (UTC)I'm going to have to retract what I just posted; Sirius's web site lists everything in a much different fashion than the way the receivers do. (And NPR Now is on our list, it's just in the news section instead of the talk section; the radios, of course, just lump everything into one "news/talk" category.) As for "Kids Stuff", the web site says it plays all sorts of stuff, not just music, so it shouldn't be listed on the radios in the pop section. I'm thinking perhaps our list is better left as it is. --Aaron- The old Sirius channel guides categorized the channels the same way as the receivers, but they put out a new channel guide when the Howard Stern channels were added that recategorized things a bit. The receivers still seem to show the old categories, though. DHowell 04:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Parental Advisory images
Those images look horrible and are barely recognizable at that size, and aren't even relevant to the stations tagged, as that label was only applied to musical albums (at least according to personal experience and the article.) If we were going to tag the "adult" channels, a different image would be more appropriate.
I however am agaisnt tagging any channels as "adult" because there is no rating system in place, and it would invariably become a POV dispute. RickoniX (talk) 07:22, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sirius used to list certain channels as "possibly containing explicit content" but I don't know if they still do. In any case, I have to agree that tagging stations willy-nilly based on what we personally consider "explicit" is sort of a WP:NOR violation, and that the "parental advisory" graphic is improper in any case since the Howard channels are almost entirely music free. Unless we can find Sirius's own current list of explicit channels, I'd suggest not doing anything at all. And if we can find such a list, we definitely need a different graphic. --Aaron 08:00, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] sirius sports action?
I have never heard of this channel. is it a future channel or was it removed from the lineup? --Phil 21:56, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- I meant hardcore sports radio and now I see it's canada only. --Phil 18:35, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
is the Hispanic Talk channel discontinued? channel 181 is now ESPN Hispanic --Phil 02:41, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stations
On the Sirius website, Buzzsaw is listed as "Classic Hard Rock" not "Hard Classic Rock". Octane is listed as "Pure Hard Rock" not "Hard Modern Rock".
[edit] Excuse the Changes
Please excuse the large amount of changes. I was trying to update the list according to the Sirius website.67.188.172.165 20:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Canadian/U.S. receivers?
I've noticed that pre-Replay receivers have not gotten anything past 186 except for Playboy Radio (198) and they don't get 187, but any radio made after the Sportster Replay have the Canadian channels (e.g. Starmate Replay & Stiletto, so far)
