If they can afford to throw away half their potential listeners, more power to 'em... Fools.
I dropped Sirius on the eve of Stern's arrival. I will take a brief siesta from pay-radio until the Spring when I will subscribe to XM - the MLB contract is the difference and XM delivers.
I don't think XM or Sirius are notably liberal, either.
I'd love to see their ratings breakdown for the channels 'America Right' versus 'America Left'. If it's 50 to 1, I'd be shocked. It's probably closer to 100 to 1. They could actually get away with opening up a second America Right channel, and easily fill it with programming that would beat America Left by the same margins.
Shame on anyone who listens to that pig!
I like the Classical channel alot, C-SPAN radio's interesting and CNN-Spanish keeps me informed about left-wing sensibilities.
I like XM very much.
If I want talk radio I turn onto AM.
I subscribe to XM radio not for the talk channel but because of the variety of music formats.
I thought Fox News Radio was going to XM?
I don't know what the hell she's talking about. Sure, most of the news and talk channels on XM are leftist, but that's no different a situation than what exists in all of the media. I just don't listen to the crap.
Oh, and one of their program directors is a moonbat. SHOCKING!
Schussel's XM program should be carried on America Right which also carries Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and a host of other right leaning talk shows.
I don't see this as a leftist conspiracy at XM, only that she was being offered the wrong type of channel for her commentary.
FYI - XM also carries Fox News.
At least Sirius has Hannity... However, on both networks, Libs outnumber Conservatives 2-1.
Now, will Rush ever get a satellite deal? I don't see either paying him the kind of money it would take to sign him. Sirius thought Stern was expensive...
No problem, the market will make the right decision. Wherever liberal radio rears its ugly head, bad ratings and revenue-drop are sure to follow.
XM radio, the version supplied by DirecTV, had five Christmas channels, including a classical channel.
That got my attention.
Stern was the reason why I picked XM !
Any company that would pay mega $ for trash is out of their mind.
I get XM, and only listen to music.
I just got Sirius, but only for the music. I never listened to Stern on commercial radio and I certainly don't intend to start now. The music on Sirius is excellent and with a one hour commute each way it's well worth the 40 cents.
Debbie is awfully cute, but she comes across as a whiner much of the time, when she nitpicks movies, or complains about liberalism where we all know about it, the mass media, which XM and Sirius are simply extensions of it..
She has that right. Large or numerous tattoos on a woman says to me "skank".
I didn't realize XM was so liberal, but I usually stick with Fox, America Right and the music channels.
Whoah! :o)
To qupte from 'That 70's Show':
"Major BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNN! "
LOL!
And right on the money, from my outsiders
(non- subscribers) opinion.
