What Are Your SiriusXM Presets

[Wolf]

I thought there were some old threads where we used to post the presets we had in our vehicles. I did find a couple of old threads, but they were from years ago.

My car can hold 40 preset channels. Basically 8 preset pages that I can swipe through with a finger, or whatever it’s called these days.

I used to keep my presets in channel-number order. Now I organize them by category, though a couple of channels might end up moving to different preset pages down the road.


Preset 1
The Pulse
Po Rocks
70s on 7
80s on 8
90s on 9

Preset 2
Pop2K
The Bridge
Yacht Rock Radio
The Blend
Mosaic

Preset 3
Classic Rewind
Ozzy Boneyard
Hair Nation
Road Trip Radio
Bon Jovi Radio

Preset 4
Alt2K
Lithium
Octane
Turbo
Maximum Metallica

Preset 5
The Highway
Y2Kountry
Prime Country
Carrie's Country
Morgan Wallen Radio

Preset 6
Red, White & Booze
Studio 54
Watercolors
Real Jazz
Siriusly Sinatra


Preset 7 and 8 are FM stations, which I hardly listen to anymore. They will probably be future SXM presets.

Mrs. Scotch is the only one with built-in satrad in her car. Her presets are similar to the top of your list:

The Pulse
Pop Rocks
70s on 7
80s on 8
90s on 9
Pop2K
The Bridge
The Blend
Classic Rewind

She also has
Life with John Mayer
Classic Vinyl
The Spectrum
1st Wave
Unwell Radio
The 10 Spot
Andy Cohen
Howard Stern

For streaming on my phone (in my car) or at home, I have My Library, which has:

Sirius XMU
Life with John Mayer
The Spectrum
Alt Nation
1st Wave
Indie 1.0
Classic Vinyl
Classic Rewind
Deep Tracks
Lithium
The Bridge
70s on 7
Howard Stern

I basically go to XMU when I'm by myself in the car, and Life with John Mayer everywhere else. Other popular choices for us in the car are Classic Rewind/Vinyl, Pop Rocks, 70s on 7, and The Spectrum. At home, it's Life, 1st Wave, and The Bridge when my mother-in-law is around.

I have 36 presets. I can go up and down. by 1 by hitting arrows on my steering wheel. There are 6 presents on a given panel. If you go lower than 1, you go back to 36. So the placement of the presets do not equal to numerical order. I have 5 & 6 being the 2 FM stations I listen to the most. 7-12 are other AM/FM stations I sometimes listen to (news & sports are the AM ones). I rarely go to that pannel. Working down from 5:

4: Classic Rewind
3: 80s on 8
2: 70s on 7
1: The Bridge
36: The Blend
35: Classic Vinyl
34: First Wave
33: Lithium

Then not sure the order (don't listen to these much) I have:

• XM105 Hotel California
• XM20 Springsteen
• XM58 A country channel of some sort

More presets;

Since they are having a free preview for the Memorial Day weekend, I decided to check out my (deactivated) EDGE radio home kit by my dinette room window, what I use to have on it for presets. I still have to re hook up the sound bar but just wanted to check out the old artistic channel emblems and color screens.

#1 The Coffeehouse
#2 Watercolors
#3 Siriusly Sinatra
#4 40's Junction
#5 Chill (Best Art and Color)
#6 Radio Margaritaville
#7 Unsubscribed Channel (defaults to preset #8)
#8 Studio 54 Radio
#9 Unsubscribed Channel (defaults to preset #8)
#10 Channel Unavailable (defaults to preset #8)

Since it is a long weekend, I may just open the window and listen to it from the back yard but it was fun to see the screens in action again

I've got different presets on my computer than I do in my Lynx. A lot of them are the same, but I have Howard and a few news channels.

It should be "What are Y'all's SiriusXM Presets?". Too few ' right now.

You're watching too much of those Chip and Joanna Gaines Fixer Upper shows on HGTV.

The thread title looks fine to me, but I admire the dedication to editorial standards.

"You're" = You are. You want "Your".

 

[Wolf]

"You're" = You are. Yea, so I'm basically asking everyone What Is You're SXM Presets.

Since you are referencing "You Are" as I

I have often heard "there is no 'I' in team" but I see it now. The 'I' is in the A-hole.

This was the pic I was about to post. I’m not calling anyone names just being the shady dick I usually am.

So someone else shares my sense of humor. That is scary.
