Thus far only Sirius listeners have had access to good, 24-hour Catholic sattelite radio. But now
XM SATELLITE RADIO BROADCASTS LIVE
REPORTS FROM VATICAN CITY AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS ABOUT POPE JOHN PAUL II
ON XM LIVE (XM CHANNEL 200)

XM Satellite Radio, the nation’s leading provider of satellite radio
with more than 3.77 million subscribers, is carrying live reports from
Vatican City and special programs about Pope John Paul II from the
Eternal Word Television Network/Global Catholic Network and Ave Maria
Radio on XM Live (XM Channel 200).
This is another limited time thing, but those of y’all who are X-M listeners might want to take the occasion to talk to X-M and tell them that you’d like more of the same in the future after the new pope is elected.
Jimmy,
I’m an XM listener. I asked for Sirius for Christmas because they have EWTN but got XM instead. I’ve been calling them asking for EWTN for a few months and just did it yesterday again. XMers, UNITE!!!
I will say that I don’t get the feeling that my feedback is reaching anyone in marketing, though. Do you or any of your readers know of a better way to request EWTN than calling 800 XM RADIO?
I have XM on-line, but you can’t get the station Jimmy mentioned, for some reason.
PLease ask for Ave Maria radio when you call XM. I have XM and would love to hear Al Kresta and Catholic Answers. Ave Maria carries Catholic Answers Live too.
So when you call ask for Ave Maria.
With Ave Maria you get
Catholic Answers Live
Teresa Tomeo
Dr. Ray
Greg Popcak
Al Kresta
and many other EWTN shows
Ave Maria has a shot getting on XM please call and request Ave Maria by name.
I have contacted XM no less than once a day since they started carrying EWTN — I pay for 3 radios in my house…If someone can think of something more we can do, please let me know…I understand they are pulling EWTN come Monday…Robin.
