| | | XM Removing Some Channels from DirecTV
I just got this in my mailbox...
I am sorry to see Special X Go, I also like On The Rocks which put me in a mellow mood. Quote:
We just go word over the weekend from XM that they are pulling down 7 XM channels from their radio service, 4 of these are on DIRECTV. Unfortunately it's very short notice.
The channels that XM will no longer provide to DIRECTV are
The Torch (829)
Special X (848)
Fuego (870)
Luna (873)
They will not appear in the guide starting at 6:00am EST tomorrow morning.
No news yet if anything will replace these channels.
In addition to the four above, XM is also removing from their service Music Lab (XM 51), The Flow (XM 61), On the Rocks (XM 79).

Special X was "wierdness" like 24/7 Dr Demento.
It was best when it was a real channel on XM. But then XM cut it fromtheir lineup and made it online only where it went into limbo with no thought just a station on shuffle play.

Leave the rock, techno, and The Virus alone and get rid of whatever else you want as far as I am concerned! haha... but that would seriously suck for anybody that likes those stations.

Not a huge surprise, these are ALL channels that left the XM birds probably 3 years ago! I bet they drop them from XM Online as well.

Actually when they say "their service" they are obvoiusly talking about XM Online because all 7 of these have been off XM forever. In the case of On The Rocks, Music Lab and The Flow and Special X 4 years or more! Wow... I thought this was an old thread at first, and I didn't realize these were still on DirecTV.

I should have been more specific and said "Opie and Anthony" and not "The Virus," since that implies I like the station as a whole, and I don't like "Ron and Fez."
So what is to happen with Opie and Anthony?
