For those with Sirius radios,

From now on, all the great shows from NPR are on one channel: NPR Now (Ch. 122). No more switching back and forth to find your favorite NPR shows. The great shows from NPR on the air and on the web are on the same schedule, and all on one channel. The SiriusXM selection of Public Radio channels continues to be the richest selection anywhere. We’ve also got the BBC (Ch. 118), the CBC on Sirius (Ch. 159), and – for Public Radio World Wide – there’s WRN on (Ch. 120).

For Public Radio that’s exclusive to SiriusXM, try Ch. 121 on XM or Ch. 205 on Sirius as part of the Premier package to hear our SiriusXM Public Radio channel. Begin each day with our very own Bob Edwards – fresh, lively and topical every weekday morning. Bob Edwards calls his show “interesting conversations with interesting people†but it’s even more than that: The Bob Edwards Show allows authors, artists, policymakers, and playwrights the luxury of depth and nuance. Bob and his guests speak at length – touching on everything from the latest news to his interviewees’ lives and careers – in intimate conversations that are as enlightening as they are entertaining. Hear it Monday through Friday, exclusively on SiriusXMPR.

Sirius 123 is running a barker loop telling people to tune to channel 122. Guess Sirius radios could be getting PRX soon.

Maybe it was just me, but NPR Talk was like the same 3 shows repeated over and over again.

I still want PRI back :cuss:

As long as they don't mess with Car Talk and Wait, wait, don't tell me.

What you guys said.

I love this:

No more switching back and forth to find your favorite NPR shows.

Heck, why not just give us one station, period? No more switching at all! Less is more! :bs:

If you're jonesing for PRI the iPhone/Android app is free in their respective stores. I know that doesn't help get it on Sirius, but I listen to it all the time through that means.

I never think to listen on SXM. Sometimes co-workers will play it on their fm car stereos when we have to drive somewhere. Sometimes it's interesting, but the station drift and static kill me.

I get it on the app, and occasionally they'll play "the world" on the local NPR station, it's great since there are no local PRI stations exclusively most of it is dominated by NPR. Except for the world and This American Life.

Any suggestions are welcome. I haven't been much of an NPR listener. Just browsed the programs on ch122:

-WW Don't Tell Me sounds interesting

-Fresh Air has potential, is Fresh Air weekend different?

-what's Tech Nation like?
