WTF Sirius...

werd, not a fan

yeah, they killed backspin, that pisses me off.

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.

Never listened to Shade 45. Heres the email I got for all channel switches/renames.

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.

yea, this mornings drive in listening to edited hiphop really boiled my blood. went to switch to boombox, and was reminded of the gayness that is there now.

im done.

i noticed this yesterday…rediculous

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.

XM channel 42…Liquid Metal

only channel i listen to other than O&A.

Anyone know the XM channel for Shade 45?

68

well looks like I was wrong after I posted yeterday and got out of class. I noticed all my stations gone except for O&A and BPM. Not happy about this move like most of you but I will put up with it because buffalo radio sucks.

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.

in name they are the same but it seems like they changed up the programming.

I haven’t notice much of a change. I’ll listen more closely tonight on my way home from work.

just canceled. alomst 30 minutes on hold to get to the cancelations desk. wonder what that means…
