As Kurt says above, the deep cuts channels (mostly streaming-only off of the app) are pretty good, Indie 1.0 ('80s-'90s 'college radio' rock) and First Wave Deep Cuts especially. Still surprised after all these years they've never tried a dedicated prog channel, even on the app.
re: my comments above from '06: most car manufacturers aren't even bothering to put SXM transponders in these days as everyone just runs through their phone. SXM will definitely play ball with you on any renewal agreement, so by all means don't pay list price; call 'em up and see what deal du jour (or probably deal du individual sales rep) they're offering.
