XM changes

Boy, the merger has really screwed up XM radio. Losing XM 150 was a big blow. If I was a big music listener, I would be thinking about canceling my subscription. The changes they did make causes me to wonder why I renewed my subscription.

What'd they replace 150 with? Sirius' version of the same?

**NotSoSilentBob** · November 13th, 2008, 11:36 PM

Yep. I haven't had the chance to listen for more than a couple of minutes yesterday. It isn't the same, which is both good and bad. Took my radio about 10 minutes to update.

As long as they leave XM 14 alone, I'll be happy as I listen to that and 166 95% of the time.

I'll get a good taste of the new 150 this weekend at work.

That sucks. I liked that channel too. They had a tendancy of playing a lot of the same stuff over and over and over... Play lots of Carlin, Bob Marley, and a few others and I'm happy. I don't need to hear the guy on the Dodge "Hemi" commercials 3 times an hour.

Like I said, good and bad. XM 150 did tend to get into a big rut. I could listen for a couple of days, then take a month off as they ran the same material over and over again.

Offhand it was the more adult comedy channel right? If so, you should be okay with Raw Dog. They keep a good mix going on RD I think.

The biggest thing I have noticed on 150 is that they play alot more women since the change. I just don't care for women comedians that much, most of them ain't funny and just try to hard. Really can't stand listenin to that one biotch that all she talks about is "I f***ed another black guy last night, and I let him stick it in my azz."

Yeah--Raw Dog has a great mix of newer comedians and they go into streaks where they'll play a lot of older comedians like Carlin, Pryor, Dangerfield, Kinison, etc...all the dead guys. Plus--from 4-6 and 9-11 on weekdays, if you like Jim Breuer--listen to his radio show. Some of the funniest things I've ever heard on radio come out of that show. Very cool stuff and they have a lot of high-profile guests, everything from actors to rock stars to other comedians.

I usually flip back and forth between Raw Dog and Blue Collar. Both are really good comedy stations.

Beast I assume you are talking about Lisa Lampanelli (sp). She can be pretty funny. She is generally very good at roasts. I wish there was an all roast type channel, or if they done a roast weekend or something sometime.

That's the one.

I will get a good dose of it tonight on my way to the in-laws. Two hour drive beats the normal 15-20 minutes I get on the way home every evening, don't listen the XM in the morning got John Boy & Billy on QUT then.
