I have not listened to country much since the merging of channels. I took one for the team because of this thread.

I actually enjoyed it somewhat as it played some newer hits which I have not heard plus played the tunes of when I was really into country music in the late 80's early/mid 90's. I did not hear my favorite (Hank W. Jr) but I only listened an hour or so. In that time, I remember hearing two commerical breaks that each lasted a minute or less.

I give it 3 of 5 stars as I may tune in from time to time because of the variety. It would have been 4 of 5 if Nashville was commerical free. (No DJ's though - :lol: )

I was kinda curious how many commercial breaks those channels had. That doesn't seem too bad. But, one commercial is one too many, I guess.

Thanks for the review, goreds2! :bigthumbup:

It's decent, but a little pointless with The Highway.

I did an unofficial study this week concerning commercials on this channel.

I listened from 1am to 2am. A two minute commercial break came on at 1:19am then at 1:42am a two minute commercial break occurred.

The breaks seem to be for two minutes on all the music Clear Channels.

When I use to have XM, I had this channel as a old preset. I enjoy it but when it came to commercials I flipped to another channel. But to be honest this channel is the same thing they play on my local FM country stations. I give it 2 stars because they play commercials.

I put my XMP3 back into my truck, so I have listened a few time in the past week. It's a good channel in that they play some good music, but since they have Highway 16, there really isn't any need for this channel...:shock:

The commercials were limited, but there was still about 3 minutes of commercials per hour. Not bad for terrestrial radio, but not good for satellite radio...:worried:

3 out of 5 Stars...

I like what they have done with Nashville and frequently listen when I'm out and about with the XM. I like that there is not as much chatter as there is on The Highway, plus they mix in a decent amount of recurrents with the newer stuff. It's really well done.

The commercials don't bother me all that much because I take that as an opportunity to flip around to see what else is going on.
