Herk - what channels have they canceled/replaced? I haven't noticed anything on the Sirius side, only that you can purchase an additional XM package, but know they were talking about consolidating some of the channels - I guess the ones I listen to aren't affected.

"Many of the themed genre stations, however, were either axed or assimilated into one station. For instance, Sirius’ college rock mainstay Left of Center is done, replaced by XM’s similar XMU. The by-the-decades stations are now categorized as “’60s on 6,” “’70s on 7,” etc. A pair of Rock Daily’s favorite Sirius stations, Lithium and First Wave, thankfully managed to survive, while XM’s alt-rock trio of stations Fred, Ethel and Lucy learned their satellite days are over."
The Beat was replaced by BCM.

I always felt that XM had way better music channels than Sirius did, but Sirius had better talent (Howard, Steve, etc.)
When I had XM, I enjoyed Fred, Ethel, Lucy, so it's too bad they are gone - I thought that the Bone Yard was miles better than Hair Nation, yet that's still around - go figure.

Is "At the Races" going to make the move to XM?

Although I had heard of him (Mike and the Mad Dog) I never had the pleasure of experiencing his show until he came to Sirius. I tried to listen to it for like 30 seconds until my ears started to bleed. What an annoying human. The man has the personality of a used tampon. How in the world he ever reached the level of success to assume the position and contract he received from Sirius is incomprehensible to me. Maybe helps to explain why their stock is a quarter.

I will say that XM just added in about a dozen more channels about a week ago, mostly music that sirius had, that XM didn't.... but added a couple sports ones, ex: Mad Dog getting his own channel. They were also NOT a part of the Stern/NFL/Nascar package, but were added to the std XM package (which anyone that previously had XM is on). Was hoping the show would be in it.

Not only did Sirius give him his own 5 hour daily show, but they are allowing him to program his own channel?? I have been able to handle about 5 minutes a day, during Steve's commercial breaks. Awful business decision.
