As a fairly constant "Sonic Theater" listener, I am noting the
announcement that Sonic Theater is becoming "Book Radio".

I checked the current Sirius line-up and there doesn't seem to be a
current equivalent of Sonic Theater--I thought maybe the name change
was a precursor to having the same channel on both Sirius and XM, but
it doesn't seem to be that way. At least IMHO.

Does anyone know what is going on? Given the other chances, I have a
sense of foreboding.

Thanks!

Haven't heard news of impending content change; could just be a different
branding to grab listeners who have no idea what a "sonic theater" would
be.

As to "foreboding"... hey, at least you know the channel will survive in
some form. Puts you ahead of the game, really.

It was mentioned by the announcer that the content will remain the
same, 'at least untl the end of the year'. This is my favorite
channel on the XM lineup, soI hope it doesn't change much. Sux that
it isnt on weekends anymore but gad it doesnt seem to be getting axed
completely.
