Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
I believe they did have a satellite prog channel at one point. I remember renting a car about 10 years ago and I found a channel that played Amon Duul and Faust. What could it have been other than a prog channel?
Here's an other question that you or someone else might have an answer...Does Europe has their own satellite radio and if so, do they have a Prog channel ?? They could look at the ratings over there.
An other possible explaination i have about " No Prog Channel "... Maybe they look at it as the music would be too international and not enough American...Maybe...I hope not !
Couple other points/questions then i will shut up...Promise.
Isn't Howard Stern part owner of Sirius XM and isn't he on the record saying that he likes Prog ?? You would think he would push to give it a try...No ?

Howard is not an owner - just a highly paid employee
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
Satellite attempted prog, but of course, it didn't last.

^^ Yeah. I remember Music Lab. Heard some good stuff on there back in early 2005, if I remember correctly.
A ton of Yacht Rock gems can be heard at knxfm93.com. Original station was the Mellow Rock station in LA from 73 to 83 and core artists played included Little River Band, Steely Dan, Toto, Boz Scaggs, Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald, Robbie Dupree, Seals and Crofts, Christopher Cross, etc. Station had it's own Yacht Rock like id jingles which are also being played.

I'll play some Toto or Hall & Oates in a quick minute...
Last night's season premier of Family Guy had Peter being prescribed yacht rock to help him cope after a panic attack.
always loved this band and especially this song long before i found out they were branded Yacht Rockers.
The Little River Band were much more than Yacht Rockers. They made some great albums and were also a fantastic live band (Checkout the live Backstage Pass album). I only got to see them once when John Farnham was the lead singer on "The Net" tour. They put on a great show and were really good musicians. It was also amazing how well they could pull off the vocal harmonies live.
Yacht Rock “deep track” from a short lived “supergroup” (if you consider a group with ex-members of Appaloosa and Cactus to be “super”):
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
you don't have to convince me, their harmonies were excellent. and wrote great songs. they had multiple writers, singers so their albums were very diverse. although they had many hits, they were never commercial. their songs were so good, any song could have been a hit.
