I’m with you. I like Shade 45 and all but I liked the ability to switch to 40, 43 or even 50 if I wanted to switch it up.

If Stern wasn’t on, I would canc… might hold out til the new year and think it over… been listening to my ipod more since the sirius/xm switch.

I do like the fact that they are simulcasting a bunch of the sirius channels on xm now. Now I can listen to the Jason Ellis show on XM at work.

lol I think the only people that made out were XM subscribers. I couldn’t be happier with the new stations we’re getting, but still pissed that they ditched the fungus, it was an awesome punk station.

They got rid of independent talk and replaced it with POTUS.

As far as stations like Octane, Faction and Alt station are concerned they are all still the same and are all still uncensored.
