Redirect to XM Satellite Radio channel history#Defunct channels, where a list of such channels already exists. A quick WP:BEFORE check finds that this will be nigh-impossible to source, especially with all the false positives. For example '80s on 8, a satellite radio channel with a similar scope, is hosted by former MTV veejays. It is noteworthy that no sourcing of any kind has been added to this article during the 16 years of its existence. StonyBrook _babble 17:49, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The best I could find was this interview with XM's circa-2005 executive VP of programming that includes a question about why XM decided to drop this channel and a similar channel for VH1 (which, not to bring up the proverbial "other stuff [that] exists", seems equally [un]suitable for a separate article — but nonetheless, it was using the Wayback Machine to access what passed for sourcing in the Vh1 Satellite Radio article — our citation standards are just a little different now than they were in 2007, to say the least — that led me there). All that might be good for is to have some source to support a brief mention at MTV to allow for a redirect to that article — interviews are irrelevant when considering notability to start with (not that there is any separate notability to speak of here anyway), and this is effectively more of a passing mention anyway.
