==Max Trax/Galaxie Package==

This service is known as the "Max Trax Galaxie Package". The package consists of 20 Galaxie and 20 Max Trax channels.

* Channels marked with (*) indicates that only certain providers carry this channel in the package.
==Miscellaneous info==
{{Trivia|date=July 2008}}
Galaxie services have also sometimes aired on [[CBC Radio One]] and [[CBC Radio Two]] as substitute programming in situations, such as the 2005 [[Canadian Media Guild]] labour dispute or a brief period of technical difficulties, when regular programming could not be aired.
Galaxie also sponsors an annual '''Songs from the Heart''' competition for new and emerging songwriters. The [[Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award]] is presented to the winner of the competition.
