XM Sirius merge

[seanR]

From the Sirius side I like it, we now get the Led Zep channel.
Any other comments?
I wonder if I can get the weather/GPS map now?

I mainly would only listen to Squizz (XM48) and Fungus 53. Squizz has now since become Octane. Same DJs in the afternoon, but in the morning, they now have 2 crappy DJs. Fungus 53 is gone, and has been replaced by Faction, which is the dumbest station I have ever listened to. Punk, with hard rock, and RAP. WHAT? Close to cancelling my subscription, but I'll give it some time.

I am upset about Squizz becoming Octane. I will miss the funny ID checks. At least they kept Bodhi and Grant Random. Squizz had a way better playlist compared to Octane.

I've had Sirius in both rigs for a few years and XM on DirecTV.
They took away my 2 favorite Sirius stations .Hard Attack got replaced by XM's Liquid Metal, which isn't too bad, and Buzzsaw got replaced by Boneyard which isn't nearly as good.

I don't think I like the comedy channel change...... I liked the ch 150 on XM the old way...

 

[Rev Den]

meh

I like Book radio on Sirius now so i can listen in the 250

As long as 171 don;t go away I be happy.

Exactly, fungus was a good station...faction, not so much.

I have sirius and Faction sucks.

Some good songs come up, then the next song is all gangsta, idk...

XM has the Metallica Channel though, I want that!

Sirius here and I love 19 Buzzsaw. Right now it's AC/DC radio...and don't get me wrong, I LOVE those guys, but Christ I wanna hear my lineup. I thought it was a fluke last week when I drove my Jeep, but I got in today and listened to AC/DC AGAIN. Sirius website says Buzzsaw will be back on Jan 15. Ugh... I guess it's MP3 mix for me until then.

Buzzsaw is going to be all AC/DC until Jan. then it turns into XM's Boneyard.

Yeah that's mostly what I said.

Meh... not sure yet, Squizz lost some of it's apeal in the last year. Still seeing what Octane offers. Lucy was good, Lithium sucks. Just wish the whole "best of xm/best of sirius" thing didnt cost more.

 

[RedHeep]

I listen to faction in the afternoons. Ellis is hilarious (3-7). You XM guys should give it a shot.

 

[Wallymander]

XM HAD the Metallica channel.... it ended a month ago. I think it was a promo for thier new album. Sure WAS COOL TO HAVE THO!!!

I dont like the new lineup.I also miss Squizz and also ask WTF is up w/ faction?

Its seems to have become lamer. Liquid Metal still there, and my talk radio stations are the same.

Its just not the kind of "change i can believe in":soapbox:

I agree, Jason Ellis kicks ass. If you haven't listened to him, give it a shot.

Faction is a bit funky, but I listen to it more than any other station.

Octane was kinda gay, but it seems better now with the merge.

What I really miss is Backspin 43, the old school hip hop station on sirius. It was cool for a change of pace now and again and on road trips when you get tired of hearing the same old crap.

 

[IslanderOffRoad]

Did Radio Margaritaville get dropped?

 

[delaminator]

not to happy with the lineup change on xm, I want lucy back!

Was listening to ellis today, not bad, they even played some agnostic front on faction so it can't be all bad.

I have had Sirius since '02. The only thing about XM I wish I had was the Led Zep channel and the weather radar.
I love Lithium and Octane. You XM guys should check out Jay Thomas on 108 in the afternoon, he is great
