1. I got a year's free subscription with my new car. 18 months later, it's still active.

They messed up. Not a chance that I will renew if it ever deactivates.

2. He already has a 3 hour show weekday mornings on the conservative talk station

So he's been on XM for a while now already.

6. Unless things have changed since I left, they only had 1 progressive representative station, though

I realize right wingers like to say npr and msnbc are left wing, they really aren't

[RZM]

11. There are three mainly ideological stations

Left, right, and African American. The latter is mainly liberal, with one conservative host that I know of (Armstrong Williams).

3. Well, that decides the "renewal" question for me...for sure n/t

9. Problem is they offer more right wing garbage then progressive radio, at least that was the way it

was when I was a subscriber

[pstokely]

12. problem is, there's more hate shows available them progressive shows

they wouldn't have enough shows to fill another progressive channel

4. I like the 80s on 8 (nt)

5. When You Do Not Renew

or if they ask you why you choose not to go with Sirius XM make sure "thee Beck" is a major reason why. Make sure they know it's not a financial reason but rather an "unbeckistan" choice.

7. When I left there were several reasons, and I told them. Not enough progressive representation,

plus they made certain promises that people could by a lower tier stations, but they left out the fact you need to have a specific radio model in order to have that lower tier

[shenmue]

8. They already have two right-wing channels

They ought to add more liberals.

[onehandle]

10. Plus Fox News, CNBC, CNN pushing RW talking points.

I used to be a Sirius devotee and posted in a Satellite radio forum.

Judging by the mouth breathers in that cesspool, we're lucky they have two liberal stations and MSNBC.

13. I just listen to the music

If i wanted talk radio i wouldnt waste money on an XM/Sirius subscription i'd just listen to regular am/fm radio for free.

14. That makes sense. Do they still charge a recording artist fee to the regular sub price?
