Family Talk is badly misnamed. XM’s channel summary does better, calling this channel “Christian Talk”. I suppose that, if you like talk radio and you agree with the beliefs espoused on this channel, you’d enjoy listening. But I don’t. One visit was more than enough, thanks.

Watercolors is XM’s “smooth jazz” channel. I occasionally listen to KKSF/103.7 in the car, but rarely for long — the commercials are far too disruptive.

On XM, of course, there aren’t any commercials — which makes Watercolors a much more listenable channel. Smooth Jazz still isn’t my preferred musical genre, but it does a dandy job of masking conversations in the office next door without distracting me too much, so I’m sure I’ll be back.
