Sirius mails old lineup

My renewal date for my Sirius subscription is in August. So, today in the mail, I got a tri-fold mailer. One of the thirds is a schedule card. I thought, Great! Nice thing to put in my car, especially with some of the recent channel changes.

Then I took a closer look at the card. It had the old lineup on it! Disorder on 70. Shuffle still on 12. No mention of The Bridge back on 12.

*Sigh* Is it any wonder this company is having problems making money?

Two more complaints:

1. Signal. Sirius had illegal repeaters in my area that it had to shut off. It's done nothing to replace them with legal ones. The amount of signal dropout that I get because of overpasses, buildings and just trees (in summer), is pretty bad.

2. Enough s*cking up to certain artists. I have heard so much Duran Duran on the Big 80s, The Pulse and First Wave and I automatically change the channel when I hear a DD song. Of course, Duran Duran has had a close relationship with Sirius, so its music gets overplayed.

The last straw for me will be if they ever add any commercials to the music channels. That's the last positive thing that has kept me from ditching Sirius.

If they'd just fix some of these things (send a new lineup card when it changes; show they're working on improving the signal; don't s*ck up so much to certain artists), I'd be giving them a 10 out of 10. Right now, I'd give them a 7 ... and they're losing ground in my opinion.

Come on Sirius. You can do better!
 
So you are saying you would go back to terr. radio? I agree that things could use improvement, but they are dealing with the merger, they will regain the focus. I'm glad to not have to listen to that crap corporate radio puts out...
 
If they added commercials to the music stations, yeah, I'd consider going back to terrestrial radio.
I guess I should say that my biggest complaint right now is the signal. Living in a top 10 media market and experiencing the number of drop outs every day in my car is becoming more and more annoying. If they really save all that money through the merger, I hope they invest in some more ground repeaters. They need them - a lot.
