The Torch blended progressive Christian music.Despite the Torch's time on XM, it's proven to be one of the platform's lesser performing channels. The Torch was not carried on the XM Radio Canada platform. In addition to this, the Torch had been pre-empted for Christmas music during the holidays. On April 17, 2006, the Torch's poor performance led to its removal from the XM satellites.
