Galaxie will be playing holiday music from Nov. 13, 2010 to Jan. 3 on their digital music channels. Galaxie music channels are available on most digital TV providers. The channels changes are:

Traditional Holiday replaces Kid's Stuff
Smooth Jazz Christmas replaces Smooth Jazz
Franco Fete replaces Mousses Musique

 

[mrvanwinkles]

Yes, was listening today to:

Smooth Jazz, Rogers Digital channel 744 (in Ottawa)

The Christmas / Jazz stuff on this channel, this time of year, is nice to listen to.

That Smooth Jazz channel is good all year round ...

[ Friend has a Roger's Digital box at his place in Ottawa. And I stay there during my work week in Ottawa. ]

so ... I hooked up the audio output at the back of the Rogers Digital box to one of the inputs on his full size Stereo system beside - and the sound coming out of that setup is pretty awsome.

Good receiver / amp / and full size 3 way speakers ...

It makes all the difference ... the good sound system connected together with the Digital box and the TV.

So we sort of rigged up our own "Home Theatre" that way - with the equipment we already had ...

But it's awsome ... the sound can blow you away ...

Sports ... music channels ... video channels (esp. we like Much Music Retro Videos on Rogers Digital ch 703 in Ottawa)

Why replace the one kids music channel though? I'm sure my daughter wouldn't have missed Franco Retro or Latino Tropical.

Good idea for a thread. I have modified the title so as to include other options. Here is my suggestion.

If you have an Apple TV you can find Christmas 24/7 and Christmas 24/7 Jazz under the Radio's Religious category. And under International Christmas Melody

Merry Christmas

Jake is that available on iTunes as well or just exclusive to Apple TV?

 

[Jake]

Yes my iTunes is showing the same channels.

 

[querty-m4n]

Thanks! I'll look into that later.

More Christmas stations on iTunes:
(under Religious)
- Big R Radio Christmas Classics
- Big R Radio Christmas Country
- Big R Radio Christmas Rock
- Big R Radio Christmas Top 40

There are most likely others too

 

[Wharfe]

My favorite is Soma FM's Christmas Chill. It's on iTunes under Eclectic.

Given they have to carry Stingray, it is natural they would.
