Escape is an XM Satellite Radio available on XM channel 78 and DirecTV channel 820^[1]. XM describes the channel as "Easy, Instrumental and vocal favorites and the great popular melodies popular over the last sixty years" and primarily airs artists who recceived airtime in the 50s-70s. Escape plays a beautiful music format featuring music from such artists as Andy Williams, Henry Mancini, Chet Atkins, Anne Murray, Bert Kaempfert, Neil Diamond, and Percy Faith. The program director for Escape is Marlin Taylor.

XM had previously featured the beautiful music format on Sunny, channel 24. In early 2006, Sunny's programming was handed over to Clear Channel Communications as part of an arbitration settlement, necessitating the creation of a new channel.
