As usual they are not adding anything I'd listen to and taking away 244 where I listen to Leo Laporte on the weekends when I'm in the car. Oh sure they don't add the one Spanish channel I'd like to hear "Luna".
 
I just hope with some of the bandwith they'll have from getting rid of most of the Clearchannel stations, they'll add some stations back in stereo. I have 3 small children and when we're in the car, I play Kids Place Live a lot. Some of the music isn't that bad and the morning show, Animal Farm with Kenny Curtis is actually quite funny, (I can't play Preston & Steve on WMMR in Philly or Howard Stern in the car with them). The only problem is the station is in mono now. It used to be stereo. I hope that it goes back to stereo and the addition of Kids Bop, which my 8 year old daughter really likes is in stereo. Sometimes I stream Kids Place Live on my iPhone with the Sirius app because it sounds so much better than through the XM radio.

I'm also liking the addition of FBN to the XM and FBN, FNC, and Fox News Talk to the stream, but then again I can stream the 3 of them through the Fox News app and it gives video for FNC and FBN. I would like to see Fox News Talk back to the satellite.

Fox News Talk came back to the satellites on channel 450. Also Tom Petty's Buried Treasure arrived. UCB Radio and Playboy Radio en Espanol were deleted.
 
This is quite disappointing. I just wish they'd stop screwing with the sound of music channels. It sounds like internet radio in 1996.
