They changed my "Left of Center" to "Sirius XMU" and I have no idea if it will be the same, although they did keep some of the DJs and the blog radio shows. That's my biggest complaint.Īs a Sirius subscriber, I have lost one of my favorites in "Backspin" (old school hip-hop).

Go under a tree with no leaves, side of a hill, under a cloud, etc. Especially when you drive? XM in the car occasionally would miss, but driving the same routes, same time of day, Sirius is pathetic. Has anyone experienced a "lack of signal" or inconsistent signal with Sirius.

Sirius plays nothing obscure from the old days even thought both have claimed a playlist of 5 million songs. There is repetition on both radios, but XM was superior. I got Howard back, but I must say the Sirius play lists are border line pathetic sometimes. Started with XM in the car and now have 5 subscriptions. out of the crapper before we all have to go back and listen to broadcast. You can't keep losing $100's of millions a year, sign the talent they have signed and stay in business. They might not be around much longer either. I really hope that this isn't how it's going to be.īefore I say anything, has anyone looked at the Sirius stock price lately? $0.25. today to hear some music to get me pumped up for my afternoon and instead got some DJ go on and on and on about how great his program is.for 10 consecutive minutes. When I listen to B.P.M., I want to hear great music (one of the reasons I don't bother listening to regular radio anymore). If I want to hear someone talking, I'll tune into talk radio. just plays music, while The Beat had DJs talking for minutes at a time about this, that, and the other and giving those stupid "shout outs" to everyone in the world – when I would just want to hear music. One of the reasons I preferred XM's 81 (B.P.M.) over Sirius's 36 (The Beat) was that B.P.M. I used to be a Sirius subscriber before switching to XM in 2007. I noticed the change today as I tuned into one of my favorite channels, only to find that it's been removed. Todd Leopold, CNN Entertainment Producer We’ll revisit the topic Thursday with some of the best responses. So send in your thoughts, comments or complaints. Yes, music radio isn’t necessary anymore - there’s always the CD player or the iPod connection - but there’s something to be said for having a trusted friend (and that’s what radio personalities become) take you through the day with some good music and entertaining chatter. And perhaps the new “classic alternative” channel – retitled 1st Wave - won’t play the Cure, Depeche Mode and New Order every third song the way XM’s Fred did. On the other hand, I now have “Little Steven’s Underground Garage” and Vin Scelsa. I’m a little leery of the Sirius takeover, if only because - in my admittedly limited experience - the playlists seem narrower, the sound a little slicker. And my wife is upset that Jonathan Schwartz has been pushed off the Sinatra beat (though, apparently, not entirely). No more hearing the guys on Soul Street argue about the best songs from Philadelphia International. (It’ll still air on Channel 40.) No more Pat Clarke or John Clay.

No more XMX, where I could listen to Bob Dylan’s “Theme Time Radio Hour” all day long on Wednesdays. So, for an XM subscriber and fan like me, that means getting used to the changes. (Which is one of many reasons I don’t listen to broadcast radio anymore.) Nothing was more off-putting, in the days when I listened to broadcast radio, than to have my favorite station change DJs or (worse) change formats. The thing about radio - and something many of the personalities on XM understood - is that it’s the most familiar of mass media, with that feeling the DJ is talking directly to you. ET, XM ‘60s channel DJ Pat Clarke signed off his radio show, paying tribute to “Mother Radio” and playing Mary Hopkin’s “Goodbye.”
