Well, get this on Cable and am jammin to all this shit. It's cool that Music Choice gives you all these varieties of music channels.

i dunno about the retro active channel but i do love the music choice and the videos on demand

I turn to MusicChoice wen Im cleaning up around my apartment. There are always some pleasant surprises on the retro channels.

I've been a fan of the Music Choice channels since I expanded my cable package a few years ago. I have the 'Retro Active', 'Dance' and 'Rock En Español' channels stored in my remote.

'Retro Active' used to be called 'New Wave' but was changed to it's current name because the playlist consisted not only of new wave, but any kind of late 70s to early 90s alternative.

The 'Latin Pop' channel used to run 'Bolero' weekends at one point last year which I really loved. I'm still looking for a good bolero comp as a result.

I highly recommend tuning in to these if your cable provider has them. It's kind of like satellite radio being fed through your TV.

"Videos on demand"? What's that?

I really applaud the programmers at Music Choice. The selections are great —- ecclectic, not oversaturated Top-40 and nice flourishes of album gems. I loved how they played "Bankrobber" by The Clash and went into "Roam" by the B-52's.

I've found my favorite station*! If XM satellite radio has something like this, I'll listen to the car radio again.

It's like 'movies on demand' except with music videos. You just scroll through the list of videos, select the one you want to see and press play on your remote. Most importantly, every video is free. The one drawback is the selection is very limited. In NYC it's channel 1002 on Time Warner.

I'll have to check into this.

I listen to Music Choice stations rather than the radio these days. Greater variety, no commercials, no annoyng DJs, and just turn on the TV if you hear a song that you like so you can see the Title, Artist, and CD.
Usually, I'll have on the 70s or 80s channel, The Classic Rock is pretty good, and the Blues channel is excellent . There's a R&B Classics station that's OK, but they stick a lot with more familiar tunes
