[edit] Programming
Deep Tracks is the home of a couple high profile programs on XM Radio, in addition to several specialty programs.
- Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan - Wednesdays at 10 AM ET/7 AM PT. Bob Dylan becomes the DJ for one hour every week on the channel, with several replays. Each week, Dylan chooses a new theme for the playlist he hand picks. Most of the songs Dylan chooses are obscure titles which are not in XM's library, and have to be searched out by creative director Lee Abrams. The show replays Thursday on XM15 The Village. The show is syndicated to the United Kingdom's BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music.
- Tom Petty's Buried Treasure - Mondays at 10 AM ET/7 AM PT. Tom Petty broadcasts each week from his Los Angeles home, bringing together a playlist of classic songs and obscure music from his collection.
- Old, New, Borrowed and Blue - Weekdays at 9 AM ET/6 AM PT. Listeners send in their four-song set suggestions to Deep Tracks to play on the air, as long as the set includes something old, something new, something borrowed (a cover song), and something blue (a blues track, a sad song or even one with "blue" in the title).
- King Biscuit Flower Hour - Mondays at 3 PM ET/Noon PT. A nationally syndicated music show consisting of live performances from acclaimed rock bands. Encores are Tuesdays at 9 PM ET and Saturdays at 3 AM ET.
