Default Any progress on Sirius vs. XM?
Steve,

I just traded in my Buick for a different car, and that means that instead of XM 209 I have to use Sirius 93. Unfortunately, I noticed the other day that there is still pre-emption after 10am. Any idea when this will change? Or is there another Sirius channel available (through optional lineup packages) that will carry the whole show?

Thanks for any advice...

Joe

No news.. They continue to say they will make a move as soon as a solution to the scheduling avails itself, but meanwhile XM continues to have the better depth of channel space for sports and room for the full live schedule. Till then, it's 9-10a live and 6-9a re-airs on the Sirius side.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Playboy Radio? That might have been one of the worst ideas EVER. Listened to it for at most 5 minutes total over the last 7 years.

They have to be the worst run monopoly in the history of the human race. Nobody in customer service knows what's on where, internet channels are a complete mess, The NFL channel just disappeared off internet service with no explanation, XM's upper stations as a whole after CH 190 are a roulette wheel of transient programs that come and go without explanation. Night talk shows are hideous with genius contributors like Dino Costa making Chris Russo sound like a voice of reason.

They haven't cared since the merger about complaints pertaining to format and are not likely to have a change of heart any time soon.....it's criminal they can't get both stations to carry the three hours consistently given the effort you have put into it for a sizable number of years now.

Fingers crossed that the 3-hour show will continue on Sirius - this has been great!

At the risk of putting the maloik on things, it's feeling like we have some continuity on Hours 2 & 3 remaining as indicated by 'At the Races' staying on the graphics of Sirius radios today.
