XM Sat Channels vs. Online Channels

[AntiMoz]

XM has a number of channels available exclusively on-line that are better than their current sat lineup. (e.g., Channel 51, XM Music Lab) Is there a plan to make these channels available OTA so to speak?

Most of them were on the Sats at one time but were removed. There is hope that they will make an appearance if the merger goes through.

Thanks

I was really interested in a couple of the on line channels but it might be a moot point.

This whole ala carte pricing announced today is interesting. I just got XM with a new car after having Sirius for a couple of years and I miss a couple of channels on Sirius. The proposed packages combining Sirius and XM content would solve the problem, except that the mixed content will cost more and require a next generation receiver which I imagine wont be available as an upgrade in my car without significant cost.
