The best way to get that clean signal is to just stream it off the internet as was said. SiriusXM over satellite sounds no where as good as it does directly from the internet. The difference between the sources is amazing and the best stereo sound comes from the internet.

find the staff listing and contact the CTO... that goes to a direct email, since his email is listed
Why don’t you contact the Chief Technology Officer whose name is Justin, like @SomeRadioGuy suggested? Now you have no excuse:
I've told you what the problem is and I've told you exactly who to contact. I get you wanna vent.. totally understand but you need to contact the station directly as I have.
The difference in sound quality between SiriusXM on a satellite receiver vs internet streaming has to do with bitrate differences (satellite has a lower bitrate), not just stereo sound.
In another life I worked for a company that sent subcarrier data to subscribers. This place:
Interactive Control Unit by Interactive Network Inc – The Video Game Kraken

I received a 92 KHz subcarrier from Mt. San Bruno and successfully decoded and regenerated it, bit-by-bit without error, from that very hill (via KKIQ). This was before today's fancy DSP-based receivers. I'm pretty sure it would be far more reliable for them than they might think, and certainly better than what they currently have. I sent Justin an email to that effect. There may be other reasons they don't want to use that relay scheme, but based on my experience I suspect it would work fine.

I find, for the most part, when you approach a station politely/nicely and with information.. not just"youre off the air", i rarely fail to get a response... but i also identify myself asa radio guy and usually provide some data to go along with my claim
