XM Channel 164 is programmed by Greg Bell, who has previous radio experience as a program director, news director, sports director, anchor, and reporter.[2] Shows are rotated in different time slots on a weekly basis, in order for members of the audience from different time zones to be able to to hear a show at least once. Commercials are regularly played during the radio shows in the spaces that originally incorporated them; some of these are the original vintage commercials, while most are modern commercials provided by XM.
Sirius plays old time radio content on channel 118 RadioClassics.
