Deep Tracks is a Sirius XM Radio channel featuring deep cuts of classic rock music, which encompasses lesser known album tracks, one-hit wonders, concert recordings, "forgotten 45s" and "B-side" tracks. The channel's format resembles progressive rock radio of the early 1970s.
Earle Bailey is Deep Tracks' current programming director and one of its on-air voices; Meg Griffin and Jim Ladd are also heard regularly on the channel during the week, with Dan Neer, and Michael Tearson appearing on weekends. The original programmer for the channel, the late George Taylor Morris, departed in the summer of 2008 due to health issues.
The station appears as channel 27 (previously 40) on XM Satellite Radio, channel 27 (previously on 16) on Sirius Satellite Radio (replacing The Vault on November 12, 2008) and was available online through AOL Radio. It can also be heard on Dish Network channel 6016 and was also on DirecTV channel 840 until February 9, 2010. As of April 2009, this channel has changed its logo, taking the logo from former XM channel Top Tracks, which was replaced by Classic Vinyl post-Sirius/XM merger.
