Sirius Channel Update 2/07

[charper1]

I was just scanning a bit today and noticed since the last channel update that The Who channel moved to 29 as expected, but the title bar shows it as Punk, which we have never had in any pure form, although highly desired. Any one know why this title exists? Were we going to get it? but...........

It is speculated that after March 31st when The Who Channel ends that channel will become a punk channel.

 

[charper1]

Let's hope so, thanks for the info. I must have missed it.

***BUMP** So does anyone know for sure if the new all punk channel is still a GO in 4/5 days? And also, what might be expected, like shows, DJs, etc.. The meaningful chatter at Sirius Backstage at Punk News on it seems to have died off. Thanks.. (not that the punk news thread was ever meaningful).

I'm looking forward to it as well, Guess we'll wait and see.

 

[charper1]

Well Avediswolf; I guess it just you and me. Two more days.

I am waiting too,

What are you hearing Rich; is this legit or a delayed April 1st Fools joke?

 

[Sirius_Rich]

I don't think it is a joke and look forward to the Punk channel on Sunday.

 

[charper1]

Great 1st your confirmation and my buddy called and said he heard them talking about it on the 1st Wave channel. Which begs the question. why no active promotion on many of the other channels like Faction and Octane? Hell, how about on the Sirius website? Thanks Rich!

I just received the latest edition of SIRIUS' "Behind the Mic" and there is no mention of the highly anticipated Punk channel. More internet content though.

To update myself, my buddy in DFW heard it again; saying 4/1/07 Sunday morning at 3am. He did not catch if they said EDT or not, but that makes some sense; that would be midnight PDT. At at least there is another ad for it.

 

[charper1]

...and Let There be Punk... It just came online.

 

[Sirius_Rich]

Now all we need is a Funk Channel.

 

[charper1]

The funk you say

 

[avediswolf]

Well Avediswolf; I guess it just you and me. Two more days.

Finally gave it a listen this morning.
I honestly expected a channel where every other song was by Green Day or some other mainstream top 40 "punk" group. ( Not that I don't like those groups, but can here them on other channels on a regular basis )

But I actucally like this channel, I've heard alot of stuff I never heard before.

 

[charper1]

I agree, it is nice and like anything new it needs only minor tweaking. Additionally here is hoping they now do not mess with Faction. I am really hoping Marky Ramone's Punk Rock Blitzkrieg doesn't get axed and the the channel as a whole doesn't go more rap.

Amen to that charper1, I like Faction just the way it is.:up
