:icon_lol: True!

[CAPS LOCK]

it really didnt make sense to cut Liquid Metal, its the only channel in its genre... i'm sure theres a few channels that are basically the same thing that could be cut

Or how about axing the broadway channel and kill two birds with one stone, the channel line up problem and the asses on broadway screwing with O&A's studio all the time. Wow, then maybe they wouldn't have to spend the first 45 mins of the show devoted to fixing the phone settings. Just a thought XM.

should write back "i don't have the FUCKING internet in my car."

there's 2 fucking religion channels and a slew of country (i know its very popular, but come on, ditch ONE). theres so many other channels to ditch.

this decision, to steal a line from paul teutl sr, "gripes my ass."

Wow the same statement they have been saying. "dont worry, you can still listen to a watered down version of xmlm during the afternoon at the lowest peak listening span on channel 48." Fuck those fucking fucks.

Ok, but XM can't cut some channels *you* might think suck. Christian channels cannot be cut due to an agreement with Salem Communcations who programs the channels. Nashville, KISS, MIX, and Sunny cannot be cut either due to Clear Channel control over those channels (Kevin Kash of DC101 runs those channels). Some channels on XM are owned by Worldspace, so those can't be cut, nor can many of the news stations since they have agreements with their respective companies.

It's not just about axing this channel and that because you don't like it. It's more difficult than you think.
