Can’t decide which satellite radio service to pick? Torn between exclusive options at either Sirius or XM such as NFL football versus Major League Baseball? Do you go for Opie and Anthony or Howard Stern? Martha Stewart or Oprah Winfrey? 

Now the U.S. satellite TV rivalry has escalated to, er, holy proportions.

Sirius Satellite Radio this year launched the Catholic channel which “focuses on Catholicism in the 21st Century” and will feature everything from “His Eminence Edward Cardinal Egan, Archbishop of New York” to Lino Rulli, whose show is called “The Catholic Guy.”

XM counters later this month with “Radio Hanukkah” which claims to be the “first-ever national broadcast channel devoted exclusively to Jewish culture” from December 15-23.

XM says that fans of the channel, which will feature the likes of Al Franken, Kinky Friedman, Neil Sedaka, Larry Miller and other “Jewish celebrities” can ”enjoy an extended free trial of Radio Hanukkah and the entire XM Radio Online lineup.” Listeners will need to enter the promotional code “TheChosen” when signing up on XM’s web site.

And if you just cant get enough holiday radio, Sirius also has continuous Christmas music  broadcast on two of its other channels through Christmas Day – StarLite, which will play  play traditional and contemporary Christmas holiday music, and The Roadhouse, which will feature holiday country music.

Not to be out-jollied or out-merried, XM has some 6 holiday channels on its system, including “Special XMAS” which XM says is “the soundtrack to your dysfunctional family holiday.”

So does any of these choices make you want to pay $13 a month for satellite radio?
