Hindi Channels on XM and Sirius

XM satellite radio channel lineup
Sirius satellite radio channel guide

I just went through the channel lineup of both satellite radio providers and found out that there are no Hindi channel offered as of today. If XM or Sirius offered any Hindi service, many people would sign up just to listen to hindi songs. I know I would.

What is taking so long? If they have channels for continuous traffic and weather for cities like Baltimore, Tampa, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh, then they can find a spot for a Hindi channel. There are estimates that close to 3 million people of Indian origin living in United States. Looks like XM and Sirius are missing some demographic numbers.

    Hey,

    They have hindi channel on XM now called ATN Asia Radio. It' s a mix of all Indian languages like hindi, Punjabi, Tamil etc. etc. A bit boring sometimes but definitely getting better day by day !!

    Channel 159 ATN Asian Radio is the only hindi channel on XM. There are no hindi channels on Sirius though.

    I had called their customer care and was told that though Sirius & XM have merged at the corporate level but there channels have not merged. So you still get different channels on Sirius & XM.
