America (XM)

America was a Commercial-free Music channel on XM Satellite Radio that specialized in playing Classic country music. It was available on channel 10 on XM and channel 808 on DirecTV. America was scrapped as part of the Sirius/XM merger on November 12, 2008, replaced by Sirius's similar channel that is also devoted to Classic Country music, The Roadhouse.
XM's advertising described the channel this way: "We've dimmed the lights, thrown some sawdust on the floor, and brought the honky tonk back to life. Waylon, Willie, Dolly and the whole gang are on hand. The true sound of Country is alive and well...this is America."
Hosts included Dan Dixon ( From Detroit, MI WNRZ-FM playing rock music & Toledo Ohio WTOD AM 1560 50's-90's Country & K-100 WKKO New Country ), Ray Knight and John Welch.
