This says they had 5600+ employees. That is a LOT!
Good, maybe they’ll stop sending me junk mail every month.
The next step is to cut a bunch more channels - probably, once again, the ones I listen to. They have moved more and more to the name-brand channels like Pearl Jam, Beatles, Jimmy Buffett and others that I don’t listen to, and gotten rid of the non-name-brand, non-rock/rap channels like classical, Chrisitan, Latin jazz, etc. I’ve had SiriusXM since it started (as XM) but they are doing their best to eliminate the content that I listen to, or to move it to internet only.
Tough times in the satellite radio business?
We, spouse and me, started getting our personal finances under control in 2018. Part of that effort was creating a budget and sticking to it.
Over time we have eliminated almost everything we can live without, off the top of my head, close to $100/month, maybe more, just for stupid subscription services has been eliminated from our expense column. One of the first to go was Sirius XM, for 2 cars we thought we couldn’t live without we were wrong. I don’t care if I get a year for free I don’t need it.
In an age when you can stream just about anything on your phone and bluetooth it over to your car paid satellite radio is a dying market.
Don’t worry! This is just a sign of the great economy we are experiencing under Biden. If you don’t believe me just ask all the economic experts.
It’s stuff like this that the non-business experienced bass turd in the White House and his wife don’t understand.
Probably in the customer service department.
They better not layoff the announcer on Forties Junction!
Just the DJs on the channels other than the 80’s. Those other guys add nothing but a couple minutes less that the have to pay ASCAP fees on.
XM was good once upon a time...but now my phone can get any station I want anywhere in the country.
I imagine a lot of subscriptions were cancelled due to budget tightening measures
I hope they go out of business. I signed up for a six month subscription for a summer-use car that I own. I paid via check because I didn’t want auto renewal. The car is in storage all winter here in the Northeast. After my six months, in the fall, I started getting mailings from Sirius. I kept throwing them in the garbage because I didn’t want to start up my subscription again until the spring. Turns out they auto-renewed me and were sending me bills. They couldn’t get any money out of me because I had paid by check. So they turned me over to a collection agency. Boy did I have a fun time ripping them apart over the telephone. Will never use their service again.
Why is it still alive. I have spotify and am happy with it
They could cut the Cr*p discussion between songs.
Hopefully they canned the idiot Jose Mangin, and that communist whore Tom Morello.
Work from home clowns hit hardest. So I would think. Don’t show up, well we don’t know you.
I switched over to Sirius b/c I travel by car a lot - and the local AM talk radio that I had been listening to has become unlistenable due to mountains of ads.
Love their music stations - and of course, Dr.Laura.
They should
Every station plays the same 40 songs over and over and over and over and over and.........
