Maybe XM should add KYLD in San Francisco.

Maybe XM should add KYLD(WiLD 94.9) from San Francisco(a CHR/Rhythmic station).
They're a great radio station and would it be great if a radio station in market #4 be
added to the XM line-up? They already have WSIX in Nashville, which is another great
radio station(and YES it's Country!)

I already hate the fact that stupid Clear Channel had to add all this local dreck to satellite radio. I look at Sirius' lineup and it's full of exclusive content and nationally known talk show hosts. Meanwhile on XM there's an entire AM station in Cincinatti, an entire FM station in Nashville, and other miscellaneous talk channels with awful one-market personalities I've never heard of before, who now get to crow about having "a national radio show." Sirius must be laughing at XM.

Your post you have placed has been........ read the topic, the reader response as Oh. Then moves on. This is another one where way in the past it's been done before, let's add Radio Moscow, VOA, San francisco police Sunset district, etc. to the XM line up. It has it's own Rhythmic CHR , with little bandspace to add anything else.
Why a dum bland suggestion? The reason XM has a few clear channels is because by contract since it's first day they are required to carry them. Clear Channel is using their leased bandspace by contract until the contract is up, then it's over.

I think XM should add stations that "match" their increasingly awful audio quality. Hmmm....lets see...
How about a 250-watt daytimer in a Midwest small town with obituaries, hospital admissions,swap shop, high school sports via regular phone lines, etc...???

Just what XM does NOT need IMO,another terrestial station that can provide music and commercial advertising that I really don't want to hear. I'm glad you like the station but XM has the commercial stations on for a reason that was mentioned in an earlier post. (Clear Channel). I personnally can not wait till the agreement between XM and CC expires and we say two words..........good bye. XM offers unique and commercial free programs (except CC) and I like it that way. I hope your favorite station is available to you online but it's not needed on XM.

It's amazing, you get these idiotic suggestions, and these guys want to be program directors?

It's a joke, son. A joke. Or at least an attempt at one.

XM, imho, has some issues with sound quality on some of their music channels. More akin to what one would expect from "entry leve broadcasting" instead of 21st century technology.

I'm not referring to your post, I got it, it's the first post and a few others like it that promote terrestrial and non-english formats on the latest greatest American invented product. Yes I agee with the sound quality at times. 70's decade sounds very narrow, it gets better as you get up in decade, but you add more terrestrial and shortwave channels, and daytime staions, that you most people never voted for...you'll only get worse quality.

Absolutely true. I'd be remiss if I didn't say some channels sound fine....very good in fact. But the overall trend is deteriorating for the reasons you've given....and some music channels sound downright awful.
