We are heading into Monday, and still no official statement from XM about the return of O&A. This is unacceptable. Apparently XM has taken a pretty rough hit from us last week. They may have lost upwards of 40,000 subs, lost advertising, and lost sponsors. They have been wounded, but I think they are assuming they weathered the storm. No doubt we have hurt them. But their game plan was to ride out attack for the week, absorb whatever damage we inflict and assume that if they make it to the weekend, they have weathered the storm. PROVE THEM WRONG!!!

If Monday rolls around and you fuckers are still pounding their emails, phone numbers and advertisers, still sending out press releases, still making appearances on CNN, still canceling subs, still be a bunch of friggen PESTS and showing no sign of letting up......then they will surrender.
Please stay motivated and don't assume "The other fans" will handle it. Every fan needs to do their part.

Keep calling XM and tying up their phones with opinions about the suspension and your outrage (but stay intelligent). This is also the perfect time for all of the fencesitters that haven't cancelled yet to do so. A second wave of cancelled radios would be a huge help to us. There is not point in not cancelling now if you truly plan on doing so only if O&A get fired. If you have a multiple year susbscription, you can demand a refund. XM will also waive their activation fee and give you a good deal to resubscribe if O&A return. (THEY WILL WANT YOU BACK AS A CUSTOMER) They need the subs for their quarterly statements.

***The main thing is to stay motivated. Do not let your outrage of last week abate. Stay as pissed off and reactionary this week as you were last week. If anything, double your efforts of last week. If you were sitting out the fight and merely watching, please join us. Welcome to The Pest "Army".

I was one of the "fencesitters" earlier in the week.

Now I have cancelled all subs, and have been sitting on the computer for 7 straight hours now sending emails. 523 of them to be exact.

We CAN make this happen.

Make sure you send single emails to single addresses as to not have spam filters not let the mails go through. It's a pain in the ass to do it but it will ensure every bullet hits it's target!!!
Don't just take all the addresses and CC everyone!

I don't understand this reasoning What does the fact that they're "confirmed" to be coming back on 6/15 have to do with them issuing credit for these 30 days that people are paying for where the boys ARE NOT on the air? I wish everyone would just cancel their accounts for now and stop taking bullshit from XM.

Can somone give me ONE good reason why cancelling isn't a good idea?

I see so many people saying "I'm going to wait it out". If you enjoy the show and you subscribed because of the show, there is ZERO reason not to cancel because they've removed the LIVE show. THey're offereng 1, 2, and 6 months for free in some cases for people that are cancelling. You don't think that they'll give you a month and waive the reactivation fee if you're telling them that you're thinking of subscribing?

If you don't cancel, you have no opinion. That's how XM sees it.

I like some other programming on XM, so if they're not gone, then there's no reason to cancel. That's all. If they're gone, I'll cancel. But I bought XM for 2 reasons: O&A and Hockey. It's the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so I'll stick around for the coverage. They end right when O&A come back. If they don't come back, I cancel....

It may not be the best reason, but that's one good enough reason for me...

There are plenty of reasons to justify not canceling. After all, a single person obviously doesn't make a difference. If you want to be selfish and think like this, that's fine. However, I would feel like an asshole acting all upset about O&A being suspended, and then going home nad listening to XM. If you feel fine doing this, then that's fine. Enjoy your XM.

The fence sitters are very frustrating. We have all sacraficed for this. Listening to local radio has been awful.... But it is necessary... The thought people won't cancel until they are fired is absurd. Cancel now, to avoid them getting fired!

Has there been a list created of snail mail addresses? To XM exec, sponsors, etc?

Also, a clean list of the sponsors who have pulled out would be great... I couldn't find one in the stickys. We have to keep supporting them, as asking for numbers of how their profits grew... and use it to entice other sponsors.....

Thanks... and Stay Angry...

If that's your reason, I think that's a very, very weak reason, but it is your money so you do what you want with it.

For me? I gave up R&F not just for O&A but for R&F. Bowing down to the BS that XM has pulled is not something I will support. If it happend to one show I love, it can just as easily happen to another. I listen every night on CBS to R&F, but I will not give my money to a company that promised me "uncensored" radio and after 3 years of giving them money under that pretense, they've decided to no longer honor that promise.

It isn't just about O&A for me. It is about a little more. I'm not going to pretend to be some high and mighty assbag, but I do care who gets my money.

billabong2424
05-20-2007, 05:56 PM
Everyone has to make there own decision whether to cancel or wait and see. I had never listened to O&A before getting XM two years ago. I loved XM from day one, pimped it to friends and co-workers, and supported XM's cause when I was asked to do so. Those days are over. My two subs were canceled Thursday, and will remain that way until they return, and I will never recommend this company to anyone again. In fact if they do return I will probably never reactivate my Inno, and just reactivate the car radio. XM must feel the sting of the lash. But we are a long way from having to make decisions of those types, and with that said I defer to O & R, Orwell and Roth when I say:

"If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, ‘he that is not with me is against me’. The idea that you can somehow remain aloof from and superior to the struggle, while still listening to the XM radio signal your active radios bring you, is a bourgeois illusion bred of money and security."

That radio in your car – the one in your room. I'm going in to take a nap -- when I wake, if the radios are cancelled, I'll know we have a partner -- if they are not, I'll know we don't.

DoughBoy is right. XM is counting on the fact that there's just one more channel you enjoy enough to keep your subscription. They really don't give a fuck what you listen to, as long as you listen.

It's the equivalent of bitching at Ford Motor Co. that $30,000 is an outrageous price for a new Mustang, then turning around and buying a new F-150 for the same price. Bitch all you want, but they still have your money, and that's all they care about.

XM doesn't care if people are pissed at them. People get over it. They move on and find another channel they enjoy, and they keep paying their bill. XM is a large corporation, and the only way to get the message across is by reducing the amount of cash coming in to their bank account each month.

My first wave of attack last week was to call an complain numerous times, write emails to eveyone, including the FCC and media outlets.

This week my plan is start cancelling my subs. I was never on the fence, I just figured someone would need to hold off for the second wave. I figure it is a good thing that they keep getting cancellations.

I have 9 subs, I am calling everyday to cancel one sub. This way I get to call every day and harras the rentention agents.

I have also started drafting letters, that is right good old fashioned snail mail. It i much more effective especially into todays world. I encourage everyone to put pen to paper buy a stamp and find a mail box.

I'm worried that my account isn't canceled. After reading the announcement here I checked on listen.xmradio and sure enough it still lets me log in. So I called customer service to throw a fit. They told me that I had no active radios on my account and the account was in a closed status. I didn't believe them and asked for a supervisor. The supervisor ("Petranella" at "The Carribean Service Center") said the same thing. I yelled at her for a bit before she tried to tell me that to cancel the online listening service I had to log on to the website to do so.

I hung up on her and logged back into the website and checked my account summary. No Radio IDs listed under the "Radios" heading. However when I try to click to "Radio/Subscriptions" or "Account Information" I get the following messge: We are in the process of updating your account. Certain features will be inaccessible for the next 10 minutes. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

So I cannot make any changes to my account, I cannot look at my account info beyond the basic summary page, and customer service is insisting that my service is completely cancelled; yet I can still log on to the listen.xmradio site and hear every chanel on the internet stream.

Nobody is at the corp offices to call and yell at until tomorrow and the service center "supervisors" won't escalate me higher beyond giving me the corporate number. So what do I do?

Well...me for one, XM is officially censored radio, I get that from FreeFM for free and at least I know what the battle lines are, the FCC has rules that need to be adhered to, XM does not, they are censoring from a personal perspective and agenda that is unscripted and completely subject to some nameless, faceless persons disposition on any given day, that to me ie much scarier than FCC regulation can ever be.

im playing devils advocate on this whole situation......O&A and R&F have been told not to talk about things before dealing with XM. Why is now any different? The Merger? sure.....its business, anyone in here would do the same thing if the future of your job was depending on it. To have your employees talking about a problem makes it worse and they would be fired. I feel that O&A felt they was above the situation.....I'm Sorry, everyone in this world has a BOSS. You do what the Boss says, thats what they are there for. Free Speech or not....its the RULES! I've come from a family that owns 2 businesses and we let our employees talk and act how they want until it affects the business. When that goes down, they are punished or terminated.

I'm still waiting for June....not enough proof for me to cancel......

I have setup an autoemailer that is sending all the execs @ XM 1000's of emails per hour for the last several days. It changes the subject and email message and also sends the message as if it is coming from other XM execs to get past the spam filters they may have setup.

Keep the fight going.

Check out www.fairlogic.com and download a program called worldcast. It will send the emails for you.

And XM thought the rat problem in the basement in DC was bad, they don't know the meaning of PESTS.

I like some other programming on XM, so if they're not gone, then there's no reason to cancel. That's all. If they're gone, I'll cancel.

When they're officially fired, it will less likely that your cancellation will make much of a difference. Cancel now before they're fired and it has a greater chance to have an effect.

If you cancelled (and filed complaints to the appropriate agencies if they lied to you and didn't) and sent the FCC a nice little message about the merger great job to START the assault. Great week, I think we got XM's attention. But if anyone thinks (sorry to borrow from President Bush's now famous flub) "Mission Accomplished" think again. If we don't keep up the pressure, then XM will no longer feel compelled to bend. Protest the meeting, keep the calls to XM going (don't need to cancel, just flood the lines). And if you haven't cancelled do so. I can understand not cancelling if you just like O&A but got XM for other reasons, but if you consider yourself passionate O&A fans, do it.

YOU NEED TO CANCEL! YOU CAN COME BACK IN A MONTH AND THEY WILL WAIVE THE ACTIVATION FEE! IF YOU SIT ON THE FENCE, IT DOES NOT SEND A MESSAGE. THE ONLY TALK A BIG CORPORATION HEARS IS TALK THAT COSTS THEM MONEY! WHEN THEY HAND OUT $300 REFUNDS TO CUSTOMERS, THAT GETS THEIR ATTENTION MORE THAN 3 FREE MONTHS OF SERVICE WHICH COSTS THEM NEXT TO NOTHING!

This is more important than your hockey programming, or your baseball, or your top tracks. This is something bigger than us and we NEED TO ACT!

another strategy to hurt XM pocket book is to actually go out and purchase some XM radios.

With each purchase XM loses about $60, with this being the 2nd most important retail season for XM, what they call "GRADS and DADS season". So disrupting the XM inventory, by buying up all the radios say at one retailer, and then returning them right after Father's Day would put a dent in their Cash Flow.

During the time we had these radios the retailer would have to either order more radios(hurting XM cashflow) or decide not to replenish the inventory. Either way would hurt XM as they wouldn't have a real purchase(so no subscriptions from these radios).

I don't know if we have enough loyal and active people to pull this off. I'd be willing to purchase about $2000 in radios and return then with in the 30 day return policy.

Just a thought.

Let's say XM is not lying and O&A are back on Jun 15th:

What kind of show will it be? Will they have to water it down to avoid future disciplinary actions?

If they do return the fight then becomes fighting the merger. Why? Simple answer: Mel and Howard. After all of this do you think Mel is going to keep them around?

I've come from a family that owns 2 businesses and we let our employees talk and act how they want until it affects the business. When that goes down, they are punished or terminated.

I'm still waiting for June....not enough proof for me to cancel......
Well if you think sitting for 30 days was reasonable than yea don't cancel, But that statement being made is we the subs do not approve of the 30 days and do belivie this is a ploy for them to be let go silently. And to be honest if Ona were suspended for 1 week I probably would wait it and not cancel, But 30 days is way to exssive how many other radio Dj's have you known to come back even after a 2 week suspension. NONE ZERO NADA,
In the past 2 or more years how much worse stuff has OnA said that was way over the line than the homeless Charlie bit. Quite a few things this was soley to appease the govt. and showing them they hold the reigns on free speech. So yea I'll stand and be counted and cancel and miss some awesome baseball for something I believe in. So if you belive in that cancel for the month or drink the XM cool aid and get a few months free. But let your voice be heard.

I like some other programming on XM, so if they're not gone, then there's no reason to cancel. That's all. If they're gone, I'll cancel. But I bought XM for 2 reasons: O&A and Hockey. It's the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so I'll stick around for the coverage. They end right when O&A come back. If they don't come back, I cancel....

It may not be the best reason, but that's one good enough reason for me...


I'm fairly sure hockey will still be around next year, and the year after, and on, and on. It doesn't need xm to survive. You talk like you don't understand what we've all given up to make this very valid point to xm. The fact that they can break the contract with every customer any time they want should be a wake up call. They give you all the games, right? What about if they decide to go regional? Put the full schedule on a tiered plateform? Pay extra for the finals? What stops them? You? Step back from the playoffs for a minute and think this one through.
