I noticed some program updates today on the Sirius Web site. It looks like some elements of the demised Sirius Disorder are being rescued.
1) Larry Kirwan's Celtic Crush to return on The Spectrum on Sundays 9 am - Noon
2) Meg Griffin to host a show called "Disorder" on The Loft, weekday and Sunday afternoons, starting December 1st
3) David Johansen's Mansion of Fun to air on The Loft from midnight to 3 am on Wednesdays.
Of course, Vin Scelsa's Idiot's Delight has also been revived on The Loft.
I take this as a good sign. Clearly the Sirius folks aren't as brain dead as I was beginning to think they were. However, they once again don't seem to want to make any effort to notify the customers of this stuff (haven't they heard of e-mail?). These are all cool shows and deserve more attention than word of mouth and people stumbling on them by accident.
As I have said in other threads, I have no big problems with the recent changes. Hell, if all I ever did was listen to Deep Tracks, I figure I'd be getting my $13/month worth. That said, the beauty of sat rad is the special loyalty and the emotion it creates for its paying customers. Management doesn't always seem to respect that. I appreciate why so many former XMers are ticked off about losing some very creative and diverse channels; we lost some also on Sirius. But let's not forget the big picture: There is still a lot that's right about sat rad, and it looks like maybe there are still a few folks there who do "get it."
P.S. If you, like me, liked The Vault, you will love Deep Tracks.
