Good to see the merger isn't stalling developments.

More wasted bandwidth. They have dropped some niche music stations and the SQ on XM has gotten worse over the years. I used to have 3 subs with XM and have dropped 2 mainly because of the lousy SQ. Quit adding garbage and improve the sound.

This will be nice since I have wanted the channel but Dish Net hasn't picked it up yet. I happen to have XM so I will be able to catch some of this channel (even if I would have liked another music channel instead)

In your opinion. I think there's plenty of music channels.

 

[reddice]

Another useless talk channel and another hit for sound quality on the music channels. I got XM for music and music only. Not boring sports or talk.

 

[darrencp22]

Dont be self absorbed. Some people like myself prefer talk and sports.

 

[snathanb]

No joke.. music I can buy and listen to on a MP3 player anytime. I like talk and sports, one of the reasons I have XM.

 

[darrencp22]

I chose XM specifically because I thought XM's sport and talk lineup was better for me than SIrius.

 

[Mojo]

Agree, I chose XM specifically for Air America.
Couldn't care less about the music on sat radio.

 

[reddice]

XM for Air America. What a joke. You can hear it for free on the AM Dial of your radio. Who gets it for talk and commercials. I got it for commercial free music only.

Yep, YOU can hear it over the air on your AM dial, right there in NYC. Not everyone in the entire country can do that. What if you're a trucker on nationwide long haul?

To set it straight here, I listen to nothing but music myself.

I wish.
Not here in Philly, here we get right-wing radio 24/7 on two AM stations.
I almost never listen to music on my sat radio
