I was wondering how long it was going to take Mel Karmazin to
homogenize Sirius once he took over.

About a month.

All my favorite stations are now top/pop 40 - no more cutting edge
music or electronica.

So ends my subscription.

Isn't there a competing service, Tom? If so, it available in your area? I'm
not at all well-versed on these things.

XM is just as bad, although they are a little more open about it.

I have a friend who works for Clear Channel, and he said it was just a
matter of time before the cancer reached satellite radio. Actually, I called
it "cancer", and he got all ****ed off because he knew I was referring to
the "scream at the ADHD audience" type of programming and commercials that
are prevalent on the stations his company owns.

It's not quite that bad, but a channel that I listen to a lot had a
lot of electronic music - ambient sounds and the like.

It's now vocal crap, cross over Euro "rap" and performers like Nora
Jones.

It sucks.

Later,

Tom
