the nostalgia formats are sickly arranged,#1 franks place or what they have changed it to,plays more frank than the standards since they have merged,#2 on the rocks disappeared thanks to the post man who said that the polling was jinxed because he did not like the format,#3 pulling the plug on both radios sounds like a good idea,heck how can you relax to all of that crappy programming!!!

I was kind of dissapointed when the merge become final, between XM and Sirus, 1 sST of all XM had a better programing and better stations, which include AC/CD not anymore but the price is gong up is there any reason , do anybody knows why, most of the line of stations are kind of boring and and classic rock kind of person, and XM had at least 3 of these but not Sirus ?????

Yeah Sirius is pissing me off too. Now we all get to pay for our fuckin internet access as well. Since the merger things have really gone downhill. Changing station, as well as cutting stations, and EDITING CONTENT!! Yeah editing rap songs to be clean for radio. I hope Howard Stern does retire in 2 years so I can feel good about cancelling. Sirius has already ruined my favorite show as it is.Rob

I really like my XM and I have given the new format a chance. I just think something needs to be done. Maybe a class action even if it puts them under! First, the change just sucked. All of a sudden none of my stations were there. The ones that were there had the format changed. Next every other song has a DJ jabbering on. I DON’T PAY TO HEAR THEIR MOUTH!!!! I pay for no or few interuptions. Third, they don’t care what we think. My final thought is what I started with. We pay for this service and they claim it is ad free but every other song the DJ comes on and advertises other stations… NOT AD FREE!!! If there are any lawyers out there ready to take on a class action against them sign me up… since the merger FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD!!!! The new service is not worth 2 cents, I say everyone cancel and show them who the real bosses are! Ok, I’m getting off my box now.

I have never met a company whose policy is “The Customer Is Always Wrong”

Sirius programming has been a huge disaster for the past few years, sparking anger across Internet forum from subscribers that have begged the company to expand their limited playlists and get rid of the obnoxious DJ chatter that has turned their service into a glorified FM station.

I mean, have you guys heard of the morning show they put on one of their music channels, 20 on 20? A bunch of adults spouting toilet humor and laughing at each other’s atrocious humor. This is the sort of progress that Sirius has made as a music delivery service and they scratch their heads and wonder why people are furious.

I have been talking with Jon Zellner, the man directly responsible for destroying Sirius programming. Though I know for a fact that Mr. Zellner is very aware of the growing hostility towards Sirius programming, you wouldn’t guess it by his reply. As far as he is concerned, things are going very well for his company.

Ok. So it appears to me that sirus had more money than XM. So they did what they did and the result is like voting for George again. Why is it the people with too much money and control make bad artistic decisions? Wake up! Yours not truly, C.

As someone already said, this deal has already killed what many of us liked about satellite radio…the Sirius-ization of my favorite XM channels looks like somebody’s plan to sell the whole thing to ClearChannel, once the mainstream listener base is broadened a bit. Makes sense for them, I guess. I’m glad that the alternative country of XM 12 has given way to pseudo-country sounding stuff by the mainstream artists you can find on every other channel. Maek my words: ClearChannel will buy – or at least attempt to buy – the whole thing inside of 2-3 years…
