Rampant rumors of lineup shakeup

However, I found it interesting that I saw nothing about the new channels in this week's program guide online (I looked at it at about 8:00 AM Pacific)...But I did see Phriday Night Phish Phry on MusicLab...But, I did hear an ad for the Chill channel during O&A this morning. I've never heard "Chill" music, so I'm looking forward to checking this one out on Wednesday.

And with regards to the sound quality issues brought up by some other people, my SkyFi and MyFi both sound great...Much better than any local AM or FM station in this area. True, the Canadian news station sounds awful, but I don't tend to listen to that one, so that's okay. :)
 
XM 84

I was hopeing that XM 84 would have became a classic dance station but since Chrome is evolving more into classic dance and playing more freestyle then what is the point. Glad they are finally added a chill channel and I hope that it is better than what is on Sirius. I hope it is more like what is on DI.FM and Soma.FM.
 
Music Lab stinks anyway.

I will look forward to another classic rock channel than a bunch of random guitar notes that sound terrible. At least they are getting rid a rock channel to add anothing one and not add any more.

I use to listen to The Flow but not much anymore. Finally I hope they are adding a new dance channel Chill.

Is this all suppose to happen this week or on March 1st.
 
Looks, offhand, like an imitation of Sirius :)

Hmmm -- The Chill, Big Tracks -- Offhand, it looks like an imitation of Sirius. (If imitation is the best word to use.) Not that i'd put it past Sirius to imitate XM...
