I'm bored with SiriusXM

They have been ignoring my pleas as well. I guess they just don't care what listeners want.
huzzah!
I'll still stick it out until XM drops certain channels I usually listen to...I take surveys, but they probably do nothing...as for the repetition, stop listening to the decades channels...

They're lucky I didn't drop my XM subscription when they dropped The Torch (Christian rock station) from the lineup.
How can we 'bend the ear' of the music programmer? I want wide variety, not FM music with no commercials BS.
I don't think surveys mean anything to XM management. They do it for the "appearance" of it. It's just like old AM radio when the jock would ask people to call in and request, and they never paid any attention to it if the songs were not on the PD's playlist. I'm letting my second unit expire in August. I got it for my girlfriend and she doesn't even listen to it that much anymore. I just think they just don't care, period, what subscribers think, as long as they are paying to listen.

They definitely don't care what subscribers think. I don't think they even look at the surveys or email.

From what I understand, the latest survey contained three questions about programming and 27 questions about cars. Apparently, the automakers who hold stakes in the corporation are more interested in what the consumer thinks than the radio professionals.

That explains it all.
I still just don't get it; rather Mel & company just don't get it. XM subs that subscribed for music, wanted, enjoyed, loved the wide breadth of the decades channels and the decent DJ's that were usually live during their dayparts. Mel destroyed that.
They they spit on us with 3 price increases in 1 year when they 'promised' the FCC that they wouldn't have a price increase for 3 years.
Well, if charging for online listening that was free, charging more for 'family plan' and charging more than the 1/2% of royalty increases - are all NOT price increases, then I'd really be scared if they did have an increase!
I had 4 subs, now I down to my last XM sub - if the decades don't improve, then I'm afraid that the final XM radio will go dark.
I wrote a letter to RadioWorld along these lines; wonder if Paul will print it in the August 15th edition of RW?

I don't get it either. Maybe they're hoping that someone will buy them out.
I quit listening to the decades channels about month ago. If I wanted to listen to repetitve playlist, I can listen to local radio (Heaven forbid!). I'm down to listening to about 3 channels, and if they keep changing them, I'm gone. I understand that they have lost 200,000 subs in the last few months. They can't keep that up and remain in business.

They'll be losing me soon if they keep it the way it is.
Internet radio blows away the cruddy now Sirius version of XM. However when I go to my Aunts house for a week I have no access to the Internet. I am stuck with XM and by the end of the week I wanted to throw my Inno out the window. Same songs over and over again. Area also played the same mix shows over and over again. I ended up listing to my iPod or just sitting in room listing to nothing. I want to cancel so bad but my uncle also has a second subscription but I just can't take it anymore and I am going to tell him tough luck I am canceling this horrible service.
Their big plug now is "Commercial free", but if they play the same crap over & over without the special stuff they used to air on XM, what good is it?
I had Sirius for years and traded up for XM and then they merged and it is has been watered down crap. I had it in the car, online and through my DirecTV. Last week I switched to AT&T U-verse and they carry URGE for their music channels and it is sooooooo much better. I am dropping SiriusXM. I live in market #5 and wil just have to deal wiith FM in the car.

Thats exactly right. I had XM and they were good until sirius got hold of them. Now Mel has ruined two services.
