Sirius "Jam On" channel was already at least 25% Grateful Dead.
Will they change their play list?

I heard a promo for it on Sirius 31 RM last night.
They said "coming this Summer", but didn't say when.
Meanwhile, the merger looks pretty iffy as of now.
I wonder if they (XM and Sirius ) will survive without it.
When asked, I'm sure Sirius would just sing back:
"We will survive........"

It can't help that XM has their Opie and Anthony woes and then they lost reception for almost two days when a satellite went down. I am still hopeful- can listen to Radio Margaritaville on itunes but would love to have it in my car. And the Dead channel sounds interesting.

chances are Jam on will stay the same. There are lots of stones tunes on other stations and they have their own channel, 98 i think

The GDradio channel is like radiomargaritaville. it is/was an internet only broadcast that was put out by the artist and has been picked up by sirius.
