Deep Tracks channel reassignment

[deckm56]

Can someone in the know explain to me why Deep Tracks as of today 11/8/23 has been moved from Ch. 29 to Ch. 308?!

The reason I'm asking is because I can't be the only one with an older car radio that doesn't allow me to program to a channel number that high. Therefore, unless I'm somewhere listening to the SXM app I'm not allowed to listen to Deep Tracks in my car any longer.

Am I the only one PO'd about this? Sorry but I'm not about to go buy a new car or a replacement head unit assuming I could find one to fit my '17 Sonata just to satisfy SXM's seemingly random channel changes. Is there a good technical reason behind this change? What's in it for them, or for us for that matter?

Just another dumbass move by SiriusXM. Deep Tracks was my go to channel along with Jam On. Now nothing.

I joined this to say exactly what deckm56 said. DeepTracks is the best. Nearly the only reason I subscribe. Now I can't listen to it in my vehicles. Oh wait, there is now Green Day Channel! Give me a break. Bring back Deep Tracks to broadcast channels.

Deep Tracks moved to channel 308. Starting tomorrow, February 27, it will also be on channel 107 but I do not know if this is permanent or just temporary.

Deep Tracks will be on channel 107 only through Sunday, March 3. I do not see the point of this.

They just like pissing us all off.
