Yep. I dropped that one from my presets. Might be good. I expect a LOT of commercials in it.

Those channels have a lot of commercials on them already.

It is on Channel 403 on Sirius Internet Radio

You guys know about everything.

It is on Channel 403 on Sirius Internet Radio

Also channel 403 on the newer "2.0" radios. Maybe it's me but that channel really isn't that great, I feel it's somewhat redundant with what Raw Dog already offers.

 

[dfergie]

Should be up on Channel 95 ...

Check out Canadian Comedy on Sirius 168.

The reorg only affected one of my presets (Foxhole for Laugh USA) but with these new comedy channels, I've replaced and rearranged. I didn't listen to NPR anyway!

 

[dfergie]

I added 168 to my presets when it came up, it gives a little variety...

I can't really tell the difference between Comedy Central Radio and Raw Dog.

Same here and also Dirty Dog on the Internet side of it

I have been listening to Comedy Central Radio all morning as I said not much different then Raw Dog, but instead they have the Comedy Central Announcer doing the commercials between bits..

I will now tune to the Dirty Dog and see if its any different.
