SiriusXM has launched a full-time Beatles Channel (#18).
As you'd expect they do play all of their classic hits from the 60's.

As you can also guess, that is not enough to program an entire channel 24/7,
so they are also throwing in a lot of other stuff like:

- Deep cuts, "B" sides and "lost tracks" of stuff rarely heard, mostly from their
post-India trip psychedelic period.  IMHO it's rarely heard for a reason.

- Live versions of their more popular hits.....usually recorded poorly, at venues
with bad acoustics.

- Skiffle, R&B, Rockabilly, and assorted stuff from the 50's "that we think the Lads
might have been listening to before they became famous".  (???)

- Lots and lots of Beatles songs being covered by other artists.   Do I really need
to hear The Clash covering Paperback Writer?  No, I do not.
