And suure, even idiots like yourself have opinions... but idiots like yourself don't understand other people have opinions too and are entitled to expressing them. Idiots like yourself attack others who don't agree with you then expect to get to express your own opinions without challenge.

Do you understand what I'm saying?
Of course you don't... you're an idiot.

The ONLY reason I initially subscribed to XM (and Sirius for a short time) was due to the commercial-free music. Coming from your commercial-leaning background, you can't begin to understand how much I abhor and loathe commercials. Nothing changes the channel faster than commercials... and I point to the success of the DVR & Tivo to prove my point.

Your model of free satellite radio chocked full of commercials advertising for commercial free radio is full of advertising hypocrisy. It makes no sense. Why? Because even if they did... if the paying subscribers had to listen to the same repetitive play lists... why pay for it? If you are a not a discerning listener... there is no incentive to pay for the same programming you are getting for free. And if you are a discerning listener (as myself), you are not going to pay to hear the same song every day.

XM was a far superior programming outfit compared to Sirius. At least we do agree on that... as based on the acknowledgement by both of us that XM subscribers are very upset, and demonstrate via the Sirius play list at dogstarradio.com just how repetitive Sirius is.
dogstarradio.com/searc...
You must recognize that there must be some subsistence to the complaints if so many are saying the same thing I am saying.

Consider this... I have had DirecTV, and I have had DISHNetwork. If I switch between the two, I notice very little difference since they offer nearly identical programming (which is also what cable offers... the point is... they really are identical in essence). But let's say one of them offered ESPN, HBO and the local network channels... and the other provider offered only Fox Sports, Encore and local public access channels. Continue that they merged and now only offer Fox Sports, Encore and public access, and ESPN, HBO & local networks virtually were thrown out. How upset do you think the subscribers (re: me & many more) of the former ESPN, HBO & network provider would be? The Fox Sports, Encore & access channel people (re: you & Mel) are standing there saying, "I don't see the difference".

Now, just because you never had XM, err... ESPN, HBO & networks... does that make you right to say there is no difference? No. You can try to argue that well, you've got a sports channel, movie channel and local programming... but you are arguing from ignorance. They are not the same. One is superior and the other is inferior. And that is what we have with this new satrad merger.

I can cut you some slack that you don't know the difference, but only to the point that you must stand by why the rest of us discuss it from experience. These are the true, honest and factual feedbacks from those of us who know. This is how we feel about the programming demise. And yes... it does matter to the health of this company if I am unsatisfied and discontinue my subs. If you mock and attack that feedback, you are doing so from ignorance.

As far as Howard and NASCAR... big deal. Who cares? I'd say there are some, but not me. NASCAR is just like commercials... I steer clear. And Howard just doesn't have the same feel since there are no FCC battles to fight. He won... he's off the public air. They won... he's off the public air. And this comes from an avid listener of Howard for about 15-20 years, right up till they day he left terrestrial and right on thru for several weeks after he appeared on Sirius. I found myself changing the channel out of boredom of his Sirius show.

The NFL is the only thing that might interest me... but only in the slightest.

So yes... I do see commercials over content as an end to satellite radio. If you couple it to the high level dissatisfaction of repetitive airplay... it will be buried when the 'next big thing' comes out... like Wi-Fi radio, for example.

I am amazed that as a stockholder you are against the consumer who drives the sales and subscriptions which in turn controls the value of the stock, especially when the solution is as easy as pressing a button to play a wider variety of songs.

Please, name an artist... name a song... name a channel... I challenge you. I will show you either how narrow, or how repetitive, or how narrow AND repetitive Sirius is in their play list with any artist, song or channel. Do it.

Also, if you are referring to me, or millions of other XM subscribers as someone who can't be pleased... then again, you are wrong, as we were very pleased before the programming change and never considered canceling, because we know from experience. ]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2008 11:31:00 -0500

And being a STOCKHOLDER AND... A MULTI-SUBSCRIBER... I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT ALL OF THOSE POINTS.

I don't care if you don't like it... and I don't care what you think.

I suggested Mel take a paycut just like the CEO of Ford offered to do (if you happened to ever pull your head out of Mel's ass and watch the news). If saving the company is so important to Mel... it is the least he could do. And after what he has allowed to happen to the programming... it would be the best thing he could do.

You don't understand, just like Mel doesn't understand... why would a customer pay for something that he isn't satisfied with? If satellite radio isn't any better than terrestrial radio... why subscribe? If the play lists are the same... why subscribe? If you hear the same songs every single day... why subscribe? If there is nothing exciting or exclusive about satellite radio... why the hell subscribe?

I'm not asking a mental midget like you to try to wrap your narrow mind around such an outrageous concept. You are the poster child for cattle people... those with no mind to think other than to eat what ever crap you are fed.

Whether you like hearing it or not, this merged company is as bad as terrestrial radio because it is being run like a terrestrial radio company by a guy who is steeped in terrestrial radio. If management does not change, you can count on commercials coming to Sirius XM music channels, because that is the terrestrial radio way of revenue. Watch subscribers fly out of there when that happens.

I find it very peculiar that you and Mel don't understand that if the consumer isn't getting what he is paying for then he is going to quit paying for it and spend his dollars somewhere else to get it... which means your company is losing even more revenue and diving even deeper into peril. And it is downright dumbfounding when all you got to do is play a greater variety of songs, by what... pressing a button?? You and Mel are the only people that want to hear the same songs every day for the rest of your life. The rest of us do not. Why do you think we subscribed and kept our subscriptions current for so long with XM?

Type in anybody you can think of... and you will see the repetition in the play list. Click on any channel to see their play list... you will see the repetition. It's the same songs all the time every day! You can just about set your watch by when they are going to play a certain song every day! Sirius XM is programming for the lowest common denominator, just like terrestrial radio... and that way is just dull, boring and outright lame.

It just wasn't that way with XM. And THAT... is what you cannot understand.

You should just go back to the Yahoo chat rooms... it suits your understanding and temper better. It was you who bashed me first and didn't even make a comment about satellite radio when you did it... and that is classic text book Yahoo chat room learning. Please, and I mean this in the kindest way I can say it... buzz off. Thank you. ]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2008 01:33:21 -0500
And being a STOCKHOLDER AND... A MULTI-SUBSCRIBER... I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT ALL OF THOSE POINTS.

I don't care if you don't like it... and I don't care what you think.

I suggested Mel take a paycut just like the CEO of Ford offered to do (if you happened to ever pull your head out of Mel's ass and watch the news). If saving the company is so important to Mel... it is the least he could do. And after what he has allowed to happen to the programming... it would be the best thing he could do.

You don't understand, just like Mel doesn't understand... why would a customer pay for something that he isn't satisfied with? If satellite radio isn't any better than terrestrial radio... why subscribe? If the play lists are the same... why subscribe? If you hear the same songs every single day... why subscribe? If there is nothing exciting or exclusive about satellite radio... why the hell subscribe?

I'm not asking a mental midget like you to try to wrap your narrow mind around such an outrageous concept. You are the poster child for cattle people... those with no mind to think other than to eat what ever crap you are fed.

Whether you like hearing it or not, this merged company is as bad as terrestrial radio because it is being run like a terrestrial radio company by a guy who is steeped in terrestrial radio. If management does not change, you can count on commercials coming to Sirius XM music channels, because that is the terrestrial radio way of revenue. Watch subscribers fly out of there when that happens.

I am glad you are so easily entertained with the same ol' songs, day after day, month after month, year after year. Good for you. Hope that works out for you in keeping your life dull, uneventful, predictable and mundane.

When Sirius XM turns to putting commercials on their dull, boring, lackluster music channels to supplement their failing policies and programming... I hope you enjoy those too.

You see, people like you quite obviously did not have XM, and do not understand how good it was to the music listeners. Sure, they played songs we didn't like from time to time... but it might be a long time before they played it again. In stark contrast, Sirius would force that same song upon you several times a day, and sometimes even on several channels. They are doing it right now.

Now, one statement you make is awfully suspicious... you say who is right... you and the experts (pause for the laughter)... who made the decisions. Either one of two things... (1) You are delusional if you are a subscriber and think you make any of the decisions, or (2) You are a Sirius plant just making slams against subscribers... which wouldn't surprise me since Sirius is not worried about what subscribers like me (actually a soon-to-be former MULTI-subscriber) think... they instead are more worried about themselves.
Incredible.

Maybe they can take their unemployment money and pay the bill since they don't want my cash.

Sirius XM is in deep trouble and upsetting customers to the point they will cancel is not very good leadership from the execs. And... it's very, very bad business in today's economic climate. ]]> Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:28:55 -0500

If there is nothing worth listening to on satellite radio... then there is no reason to subscribe. There will be no difference between terrestrial radio and satellite radio if they both have the same stale musical programming. Think about it a moment. Why do you think XM subscribers are so upset? ]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:21:24 -0500

I went ahead and canceled Sirius because the music programming was pathetic and repetitious. The XM programming was far superior to Sirius. It only took hearing the same song played 2 or 3 times in one day for 3 consecutive days (plus a bad radio unit) to figure out this was just Clear Channel pay-per-hear... and that is not worth anything.

I also have DISH Network, so I have access to Sirius, and if I want to see if my watch is correct... I turn it over there to synch it up with their stale, predictable and repetitious daily play list. Thankfully it's a very good watch from a company that is still in business because it cared about what the consumer wanted... so I don't have to check it very often.]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 11:41:03 -0500

Now they want to water down the music channels with the classic Sirius repetitive airplay of the same songs on a more narrow channel selection and tell the consumer "Tough."
Ha!
How about giving up that company-back-breaking paycheck, Mel? How about dumping the book crushing burdens like Martha Stewart (I've never met a person that ever listened to her radio show) and Howard Stern (a half-a-billion dollars? Who is the idiot that offered Stern this golden deal?? - Oh.)

The MUSIC CHANNELS were THE DRAW for most subscribers... and Mel has ruined that, and in that, may have destroyed the company... because it will be awfully hard to rebuild that trust between company and consumer again... especially with the XM subscribers who feel they have been cheated the most. (Oh man, these Sirius DJs even talk over the intros of songs like common FM morning zoo Clear Channel clowns!)

GM, Ford & Chrysler thought they could crank out any product they wanted to and not care about what the consumer wanted... and they thought they consumer would HAVE to buy it. They found out wrong too, didn't they? If Sirius XM thinks they can do the same thing, then satellite radio will not survive what ever the next technology is that comes out. Satellite radio will join the Sony Beta VCR as a mismanaged technology. You MUST produce what the consumer will buy. THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE TO A BOTTOM LINE.

Investors... look for the financial turmoil to deepen under this completely out-of-touch management. Subscriptions will have a small Christmas pop, but will spiral again after the 3 free months is over.

Tyler... don't take this too hard, but consider distancing yourself from the Mel brand... or you may not have any readers very soon either. Siriusly, dude. ]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 09:30:56 -0500
