DJs on Decades Channels
ADVERTS 1
Since the merger the Sirius programming philosophy has pretty much won out on the music channels. In the case of the Decades channels (40s, 50s etc) that has meant DJs in between the songs and even talking over the songs. I hate this. In fact I left terrestrial radio partially to escape this. I am curious sa to whether I am alone in feeling this way.

They have always had DJ's, but not the amount of talking they have now, especially with DJ's talking over the music.
I liked the way it was done before by XM.Scott

Also they play the same songs over and over again. I am so burned out especially on the 80's channel.

Proud Staff MemberThe DJs on the satellite radio music channel is the sole reason I have never and will never subscribe to satellite radio. I want music, not chatter. The display will tell me what the songs are.
And when listening to music at home I listen to the Muzak channels since they have a deeper play list and no DJs

Before the merging of the channels, the XM DJ's at least made it about the music.
Now, well, you know.

Ya know atleast for 60's on 6 and 70's on 7 I like the jocks... Sure they talk over the songs, but ya know that was the way top 40 radio back in those days sounded... You ramped up a song a talked it right up to the first line of the song... Although the 80's on 8 has opened up the playlist a tad and as much as I like the VJ's doing the 80's on 8 it is time to really give that channel a major tweak and bring it back to the way it was when it first started out after the merger... Let Rick do to the 80's what he has done with 90's on 9 and I think you would have a fun channel... The channel should recrerate the feel of the 80's from the music to bits about the events that made the 80's what it was... The problem with the VJ's doing radio to me is that it kills the flow of the channel... Atleast with the other decades channels it feels like the decade they are representing... JMO... CC
