SiriusXM pulls Channel 127 Progressive

[Tripper11]

From my lineup. Happened last week. My radio was saying "updating" for a few days. I was patient and gave it some time, but after 4 days, still nothing, so I called.
It seems they have removed it from their radio lineup and moved it to online only.
WTF?
No notification.
I love Progressive, and listen the in the car all the time. Stephanie Miller in the morning and then Thom Hartmann in the afternoon.
The SiriusXM woman on the other end said a similar channel is Insight, and I have listened to it, and it's fine, but damnit, I want Progressive back!!

I also sent them an email complaining as such. Why remove it? Remove the catholic channel,. remove fucking Faux News or something else.

Arrgghhhh!!

1. it's the war on progressive talk

[yeoman6987]

9. Has to do with eyeballs

If you don't have enough, they don't continue.

[saturnsring]

14. of course it is. nothing to see here just move along

[yeoman6987]

19. Life stinks that way but most radio stations are not a charity

They must make money or at least come out even.

[GeorgeGist]

22. you mean ears?

[ms liberty]

2. Really? I was listening to it not 5 minutes ago...

On my way home to have lunch just now. I will see if it's still there when I go back to work.

3. I'm listening to 127 right now what the hell are you talking about

If your going to make a statement like that you should provide a link

[busterbrown]

13. I’ve done that around here.

Rush to present the facts so I will receive the Best Thread Award For The Day..

I have since learned to slow down a little..and double check..

7. They need the satellite bandwidth to make Howard Stern's voice sound deeper.

I would like to say that I'm kidding, but I'm not.

Since Stern came on board the music stations being beamed down have been suffering in quality, while Stern's channels and other 'premium personality' channels have been getting stronger, clearer, and higher in sound quality.

I quit SiriusXM a couple of years ago and told them that was my one reason.

I wouldn't be surprised if they killed a satellite station just to beef up Howard and company some more.

8. Ah, Right Wing Blow Hard Stations are Kept Alive

by listeners mostly white over 50 and full of anger and boredom...

Progressive listeners are younger, and lead very busy and productive lives.. Just not interested in listening to the radio all day and night..

[bigdarryl]

10. I just Googled the latest Sirius XM news and there is nothing about channel lineup changes

[Tripper11]

11. I'm in Canada...that might be the issue

But like I said it was there up until last Friday.
I'm not going to let it go.
I went out to have a little listen to Insight and there was some guy talking to another guy about how to write an essay. Gripping programming there!

[still_one]

12. uh, no they haven't

I don't subscribe to Satellite radio. In my view it is a waste of money. I can get the same music and information from the internet or podcasts

[Waldorf]

17. I'm planning on cancelling my service this January unless they give me a big discount to renew.

I'll just load up one of my flash drives with music and listen to that instead.

[still_one]

21. Unless their policies have changed, I had a heck of a time trying to cancel service.

I hope you have an easier time if that is what you want to do

[Go Vols]

15. Yep,its gone in Ca.

We now online only on SiriusXM Canada.

18. Is this a return volley in response to our first strike in this year's "War on Christmas™"

[YabaDabaNoDinoNo]

20. I was listening in my car on the radio till 855 am eastern

Today

Really Only have Sirius because of Howard Stern, will drop Sirius when he leaves Sirius anyway

But maybe I will keep it as long as frank decaro is on outq. I do like listening to him too

[Omaha Steve]

23. Progressive IS WORKING on my XM car radio

I just went out an checked.

Did they change your plan perhaps?

[Omaha Steve]

29. It is working in Marta's car too

[trumad]

24. Can you provide a link saying so..

Working fine for me at this time.

[cry baby]

25. It's still on in Texas.....for now.

I don't have cspan on the radio anymore. They moved it to online only.

[tularetom]

26. Are you in Canada?

Because I notice your link is to siriusxm.ca.

So I'm wondering if they weren't getting enough "clicks" to keep a station on that focuses exclusively on US politics.
