Deep Tracks is an XM Satellite Radio channel featuring the deeper side of classic rock music, which would encompass lesser known items such as album tracks, one-hit wonders, "forgotten 45s" and "B-side" tracks. The channel's format is often compared to that of the progressive rock radio of the early 1970s.

George Taylor Morris and Earle Bailey are the channel's principal on-air voices. Feature programming includes "The Grateful Dead Hour", "Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour" and "Tom Petty's Buried Treasure".

The station appears as channel 40 on XM Satellite Radio and is available for free on the Internet through AOL Radio. It can also be heard on DirecTV channel 840.

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.
• 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.
• Fresh Tracks - Mondays at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT. This weekly show plays new music from familiar artists.
• All Hand-Mixed Vinyl - Tuesdays at 10 AM ET/7 AM PT. Hosted by Bill Fitzhugh. Setlists are at http://www.billfitzhugh.com/.
• Deep Tracks Undercover - Tuesdays at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT and Fridays and Saturdays at midnight ET/9 PM PT. This show features very recognized cover songs.
• The Grateful Dead Hour - Wednesdays at 11 PM ET/8 PM PT. Hosted by David Gans, this show features live Grateful Dead performances and covers from other artists.

• The Blacklight Room - Fridays at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT. This is a specialty show for psychadelic music. Encores are Sundays at 2 AM ET.
• Earle Bailey's Headtrips - Saturdays at 5 PM ET/2 PM PT. This show features songs that tie in to a certain theme. The show is similar to Theme Time Radio Hour but with a more contemporary approach.
• The Art of Rock - Interviews with rock and roll artists.
• The Deep Tracks Box Set Symphony - A music and informative interview show based around music box-set releases. The show plays every song on the featured set, interlaced with interviews and stories from the band members and their friends.

• Tom Petty's Buried Treasure - Aired Mondays at 10 AM ET/7 AM PT. Tom Petty broadcasted each week from his Los Angeles home, bringing together a playlist of classic songs and obscure music from his collection. The show was ended as Petty wished to devote his time to other projects. The show was dropped silently, despite its weekly promotion across the platform.
