XM Satellite radio is on my shit list right now. They have commandeered the only station I listen to on a daily basis, The System (Channel 82), and turned it into a 24-hour holiday music channel from now until Christmas.
Now there’s no reason to turn it on for the next month. They should refund me since it’s the only station I listen to. They couldn’t add a channel to their line-up or perhaps use one of 7 country stations instead of taking the only good station out of the 4 dance channels they offer? I wonder if Sirius would pull this. Maybe I should call XM and ask them if they prefer I change my service to their competitor.
I agree, that’s total bullshit. I can’t believe they couldn’t take some other station that’s maybe not such a big leap. Switching The System to Christmas is kind of neck-wrenching. I feel for you – I don’t have XM, but I’ve had it in rental cars and I only like one channel: Real Jazz. It would suck to get that one switched out from under me to Christmas music.
On our dish, they usually add a Holiday Music channel (I think it’s the Sirius part – we get some music channels that aren’t Sirius…).
I have been checking it out ever since you emailed me. Would be a great Christmas present. I think Hubster has other plans though…
