XM is a satellite radio and comes to you via satellite. AM doesn't need to use satellite to broadcast it uses a radio band. If AM needed satellite we wouldn't have had it since the 1920's.

I have a Sirius satellite radio. I believe there are a few different classical stations that can be found between channels 70-90. One is more contemporary than the other. There is also an Opera station in that vicinity as well.
Once you buy an HD receiver then you will get HD radio for free but your stations have to have the feature to get the quality. You pay for Satellite Radio but you get a ton more stations and can pick and choose to listen to any within your package. HD is only for regular local radio stations that have an HD antenna. Both boast great sound quality which is true� they are way better that a normal radio station but still short of CD quality. If better sound if what you want then buy an HD receiver� if better sound and more options is what you want then buy a subscription to satellite radio.
One of the main differences between satellite radio and FM radio is that there is a cost for satellite and FM is free. Satellite radio also does not operate using the same numerical AM and FM channels as FM radio.
FM broadcasts need an FM radio receiver. Either a fixed receiver in a stereo system or a portable radio will do the job. FM has a limited range, typically 40 to 50 miles from the transmitter is close to the limit of reception. A selection of stations also broadcast on digital radio, DAB. A DAB radio will be needed to receive digital radio. Many FM stations are also available on cable television services, Freeview (terrestrial television service), Sky satellite service and Freesat, the free satellite television and radio platform. Any radio service on these platforms is no longer an FM broadcast despite the fact that they carry the same content. Additionally, an increasing number of stations are broadcasting on the Internet. The station's website will often have a link for live broadcasts of their stations.
The key benefit of satellite radios over standard FM radio is the clarity of sound. There is also the possibility of obtaining more stations via satellite than normal radio.
