You have to be listening to a news/talk/sports/traffic/weather channels.
As long as you remain on satrad, change away.
BTW...you are changing channels, not stations.
I know a few programmers at Sirius. They like to do "pick it or flick it" on their currents-based stations to test new songs. Often they're done in conjunction with the labels, and then the labels use the results to try to get spins at OTA. Doesn't tend to work, since the audiences are different. They've managed to be on the front side of several hit songs in the last few years, but I imagine the percentage of hits-to-dogs is about what you'd expect.
This sounds like a new version of the Payola of the 1950's. Pay to Play. Deja a vu all over again?
And any channels that are carried because of Clear Channel have commercials, if I remember correctly. These two were not in the list that I remember. There was once one called Sunny.Well, you can change both at once if you're listening to the channels that carry the two FM stations (KIIS and WHTZ) SXM must carry under terms of the original deal Clear Channel made in return for the $$$ that helped XM launch back in 2001.

Am I the only who thinks the Sirius/XM commercials are extremely amateur sounding?
The production values sound like them came out a 1950's vintage AM day timer.
I believe that your receiver is locked onto one of two stations (which may or may not have call letters), that is either the Sirius system or the XM system, they are still two transmission platforms.Well, you can change both at once if you're listening to the channels that carry the two FM stations
