Does anyone know either I could find rating for the Sirius/XM channels? I want to look to at where the stations I like fall in the ratings.
Ratings for Sirius /XM Channels

Here's 2007....
Not sure if they did a channel by channel breakdown in 2008.
Digg - Arbitron ratings for Satellite Radio: Stern Crushes O&A 5 to 1

I was looking at those the other day when thinking of the channels they nixed. So many channels can't be touched because SIRIUS has deals to keep them going, IE the Canadian channels. But it does look like the ones they got rid of were in the bottom percentage of the channels out there.
Here's a direct link to the Spring 2007 data:

One of the things I noticed between the two ratings books is how much more popular Backspin was. Def not a channel that should have been removed The Strobe does look pretty low on the list though, sorry Vinny. But BBC 1 is way low for a music channel but it must cost near nothing for SIRIUS to have kept it on.
The other interesting thing that surprises me is that Sirius Stars has incredibly low ratings 29,000 per week. Then Oprah and Friends is around 120,000 vs. Martha Stewart 41,000.

Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
The equivalent on XM was U-POP and it was a WorldSpace channel which will likely be completely dead in a matter of months.
Thanks for posting the ratings. I am surprised at some of them. I like Hair Nation but didn't think the ratings would be that good. Also surprised New Country was as high as it is. I figured it might have decent rating but not that good. Also, after seeing the ratings I now see why Super Shuffle, Backspin, The Strobe and a few others were removed. However, Moving Easy was rated higher than Elvis Radio and E Street Radio just to name a few and it was canned. Made no sense.
And there won't be anymore of these because neither will encode for PPM, so Fall 07 is the last one.
