In addition to music channels and children's programming, XM will provide XM's Major League Baseball "MLB Home Plate�" talk radio channel, and XM's "High Voltage" channel, featuring talk radio stars Opie and Anthony.
Customers subscribing to the DIRECTV TOTAL CHOICE� programming package will have access to 50 XM Satellite Radio's music channels and customers subscribing to the DIRECTV TOTAL CHOICE� PLUS programming package and above will have access to more than 65 channels. DIRECTV PARA TODOS� customers will also have access to the same XM channels, as well as seven Spanish-language channels.
