Fine Tuning is the name of XM Satellite Radio's eclectic music channel. The program director for Fine Tuning is Ben Smith.
The channel is described as "A musical oasis for the sophisticated listener culled from every imaginable genre and country. You'll hear Strauss living in harmony with Van Morrison in a completely new and revolutionary listening experience...an audio oasis. A unique mix of Classical, Jazz, Rock and dozens of other styles. And you'll hear the unique perspectives of Quincy Jones as he characterizes American and world music, his influences on it, and linkages he sees, only on XM. "
Fine Tuning has moved around the XM dial throughout the years. Beginning in the classical category at XM-111, the channel later moved to World at XM-104. The February 2004 channel shakeup moved the eclectic channel to rock at XM-49, and finally it's current home in Lifestyle at XM-76 in August 2004.
On December 28, 2005, Fine Tuning went XM HD Surround and is broadcast in 5.1 digital surround sound.
