These are the stations under the Total Choice Plus pricing plan. The main differences I see is the deletion of "Kids Only" and "Channel X" and the addition of "Bluegrass", "Showtunes", "R & B and Hip Hop" and "Power Rock." My favorites, Today's Country, Smooth Jazz, and Contemporary Christian remained unchanged.

Bummer, we really liked the "Kids Only" channel.
Nice to see a channel dedicated to Showtunes!

I don't like how Showcase I and II are so far apart. It makes it tough to scan both of them. :shrug:

My wife would have gone NUTS if they had dropped this channel! She listens to it every day for a few hours (while she's getting ready, cleaning the house, etc).

Showcase II is now called Americana. This is the format previously called "Post Country" and filled nearly all the airtime on Showcase II. It is now placed near the other Country stations since that's the format it's dedicated to.

Im glad they still have the BLUES 841.

My kid has the "Blues" that there is no more Kids Only station!

Dont mean to sound dumb, but Ive been wondering this for a while, whats on Showcase?

[Karl Foster]

Showcase has things like interviews, live performances, and is kind of a catch-all for other genres of music. Right now on Showcase 1 is Old School Rap. I listened to an interview and live performance with the Dave Matthews Band and it was awesome.
