Comcast Swing Music Channel

[Hemingway Jones]

Forgive me if this has been discussed...

But I didn't see it anywhere else.

Comcast has digital music channels (audio only -except for some "Artist facts" and slides of the artists' pictures.) and one of them, channel 527, is Big Band and Swing Music all of the time. I am finding myself listening to it more and more.

Are other cable companies and satellite providers offering this out there? Do any of you listen to it also?

Yes they do

I have a company called Knology and they offer that as well as an American Stadards/Singers channel with Sinatra, ect. I also know that Cox Communications offers the same as well. These channels blow away the comparable stuff on XM Radio.

We have Dish network which broadcasts Sirius radio. I'm pretty satisfied with their song selections myself as well as the channel options.

That's great. I am glad to hear that you have access to this. I also enjoy it as background music. It's nice to hear a station playing artists and songs I may not have been exposed to otherwise. I am glad that many of you are sharing this simple joy.

I always leave the 40's station from XM on DirecTV playing while I'm sewing. I think it's been talked about in other places, but they also broadcast "news" reports of the particular day it is.

On Direct TV there is a Forties Channel and also a Frank Sanatra (and similar music) Channel. I am defently going to look into those.

The Sinatra channel (Frank's Place) is great, too. They play a lot of classic standards, but then a lot of the new guys, like Michael Buble & Harry Connick.
