SIRIUS XM Radio announced the return of two music
channels: The Strobe and Backspin. SIRIUS XM listeners will be able to
listen to The Strobe and Backspin beginning Thursday, January 15.
The Strobe and Backspin will bring back disco/classic dance and old
school hip-hop respectively to SIRIUS and XM. Additionally, The Beat
Morning Show will launch on BPM on January 15. The daily show will
feature popular dance hits and be hosted by former Beat program
director Geronimo.
“Bringing back The Strobe and Backspin, and adding The Beat
Morning Show, is part of our commitment to respond to our subscribers’
overwhelming passion for our service,” said Scott Greenstein, President
and Chief Content Officer, SIRIUS XM Radio. “We are fortunate to have
an enthusiastic audience that embraces satellite radio with
unprecedented fervor. We will continue to listen to them as we strive
to create the best audio entertainment experience available.”
The Strobe channel will showcase the best songs and artists of
disco and classic dance. The channel will bring listeners back to the
days of glitzy club life and Studio 54 while playing the biggest dance
hits of the 1970s and 1980s. The channel will feature shows
highlighting various disco club classics, freestyle and mixed disco
favorites, including, Deney Terrio’s Request Fever and Causi’s Club
Classics.
SIRIUS XM’s Backspin channel will feature the best of old
school rap and hip-hop. The channel will be the home of several
specialty shows including Ladies’ First with Monie Love and Zulubeats
with Afrika Bambaataa, Mick Benzo and The Cutman LG.
So Sirius XM Radio listened to the fan’s! If you are still angry about channel changes please send them to Sirius XM Radio and maybe it will be resolved.
I know allot of people are still angry about the Elvis Station so now is your chance to let your comments be heard.

Thanks everyone in helping us bring Backspin AND The Strobe back!
Kevin Lockett, Bring Backspin Back Movement
Thats a good step in the right direction, I would have preferred 65 the Rhyme but from what I understand Backspin was about the same. Now we need 66 RAW back on the air with LEO G unleashed and Miz Kitti back on the scene!
Continue to sign the petition and help bring back RAW! http://www.petitiononline.com/RAWRHYME/petition.html
Please bring The Beat back to fulltime and get rid of bpm. bpm is just awful music. I know we are getting 6 hours of the beat, but we are asking it back on fulltime. Thanks.
Sirius/XM does listen..Thank God..I got tired of emailing them(LOL)…Happy Holidays To All…
I was actually about to cancel both my radios tommorow but then I stumbled on this. Thanks to everyone that made the effort to get their voices heard and thanks to SiriusXM for listening. I CANT wait to listen to my two favorite stations EVER once again!!!!! Backspin & Strobe rule the world!!!! Thank You Thank You Thank You
thanks for bringing backspin back, now you gotta bring boombox back. and i agree with bringing back the beat36 full time. bmp sucks
That’s great! However, I wish sirius/xm had a station devoted to neo-soul. XM had a station lkie that but they canceled it. It would be nice if there was something like that, perhaps a station for the ‘grown and sexy” crowd.
LaShanda have you tried out Soul Town?

Maybe they have what you are looking for.
Thanks for bringing back backspin and strobe. They are 2 of my favorite channerls. Since their departure, I found myself listeneing to regular radio again. Now that Sirius HAS listened to the audience and brought them back, I will be re-newing my subscription this spring..thanks again for listeneing to your subscribers Sirius/XM…..DerrickX…OUT.
Actually, LaShanda wants “Heart and Soul”. They play a lot of Neo Soul music. SoulTown is old school Soul like Motown, which is good too.
Kudos to Sirius XM for bringing back Old School hip hop. I was one of the people who was furious when they dropped The Rhyme. I’m glad they listened.
Thanks Brian, I’m unfamiliar with that channel but will check it out.
It is great that Backspin is back, and truthfully Backspin is much better than I remembered it to be ! now we just need BOOMBOX back to complete the reason why i subscribed to Sirius Radio.
Please bring back BOOMBOX. PLEASE!!!!!! Pretty please…..thank you
I am trying to use you online system to contact & get info about a certain channel – Soul Town, to be exact. How in the world do I go about doing that? I’ve been led everywhere else, except that & it’s VERY frustrating. PLease let me know. KathyC.

Hart and Soul is the best mix of music. I use it to workout 3-4 times a week.
