So happy I got Sirius before Christmas...funny thing was I was always bitching that we needed a 90's alternative station....it is freaking incredible....
I wouldn't mind a Seattle (Flannel) Channel. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Jimi, and the other stuff. But this is a pretty good start.
It's actually sorta like my 1990's CD collection.

I got Sirius and joined the Revolution for Howard. But this new station is real good....honestly make the switch to Sirius if you are thinking about it!
I wonder how many people don't want to "pay for radio because they can get it for free."
Wow, what a mis-statement that is. Yet, they're paying a similar price for ~14 channels of HBO, and buying bottled water.
It's actually something like 43 cents a day, even less if you sign up for a year. Who cares why you get it, it's great music and there's something for everyone.
There's even a few kid channels if you've got little ones.

Love Reign O'er Me now playing on Maxim (channel 108.) #12 on their "Must Have Downloads" countdown show. They even announced the new channel that we all know about and said you could get the new song at http://www.myspace.com/tenclub

I love the new station. My only complaint with sirius since I got it was that I wasn't getting enough Pearl Jam. What we need now is a Pearl Jam 24/7 station like what they did with the who and the stones.

I've heard RUMORS of a "rotating artist" channel, so there is hope, but nothing solid.

Dish Network customers will want to turn to channel 6024. If you have DirecTV, you're out of luck.

I was listening to NPR today and a subject came up about Sirius and Xm joining to use the same equipment and ect. because of there current financially problems. On the drive home they were talking about the fact that it could be considered a monopoly if they were both owned by the same corp. It stated that one of there bigest problems was caused by the recent celebrity chanels. Howard Stern being a great example. I guess we'll find out
I really hope the merger ends up being as good as they are talking it up to be. I hope they don't do away with the new Lithium channel. That would just suck.
Yeah, the MLB will be good. Otherwise, I always heard Sirius had better music, so I hope they don't go with the XM channels and scrap Sirius programming.

Yeah I would not like it if they scrapped all sirius programming. There's so many cool shows on it like the countdown shows on Alt Nation. The 80s channel does a countdown of the top 20 or so from this week in a certain 80s week. Another cool show is Dark Wave on Sunday nights on 1st Wave where they play darker alternative music ie NIN, Sisters of Mercy.
I know both channels have 60s, 70s, 80s, etc. so they won't have to change that.
The good thing is it seems like Sirius is coming out on top of this merger in certain key ways -- the CEO and Board Chairman of the new company are both from Sirius, for example. Then again, I think XM has more facilities, and the fact that they have more subscribers worries me that the programming may come out favoring XM. It should be very interesting.

this is awesome for those of us who listen to satellite radio. 4 example. if i want to listen to pac 10 sports or alabama sports i would have to subscribe to both sirius(only carries alabama) and xm(only carries pac 10). if this merger goes thru i'll only have to subscribe to one service

Yeah when I was somewhat lerry (sp?) about getting satelitte radio it made me more conifdent when I saw that Mel Karmizan was the CEO of Sirius. Now he will be the CEO of the combined companies and he has a long history of success so I'm sure it will work out.
sirius bought out xm, so i'd figure most of the sirius content will stay intact, xm go bye bye
subscription fees are estimated to be $19.95/month next year
where did you see the subscription fee's going up? especially by 50%? That's a big markup.they shouldnt eliminate any channelfor that price.
For all those who love lithium, have no fear the squizz will not dissapoint. And yes I am a sirius subscriber.
I have to say though, I'm more interested to see if dopie and anthony get the boot or not.
It's too bad this is happening just as baseball season is starting. As a current sirius subscriber, I would love to be able to listen to MLB this season.
In regards to a merger, the FCC has no idea what they're talking about. Satellite radio (as a whole) competes with cable radio, music choice, iPods, terrestrial radio, internet radio, etc.
I have heard nothing about raised rates. Why would they do it? If they came together, they would no longer have to bid exhorbiant prices just to get the rights for whatever content. If the combined companies could bid $50 million instead of $500 million, then they wouldn't have a reason to charge subscribers as much.
Sirius' CEO (Mel Karmazin) would run the combined company, and Hugh Panero (XM's CEO) would only stay on until everything is combined. It sounds just a little bit like Sirius might buy out XM.
As far as channels would go, I don't have XM, but I hear that they have a 40's channel that plays music of that decade as well as radio reports from that time. It'd be nice to have that, just to see what people were hearing. XM's "Frank's Place", a channel playing nothing but Frank Sinatra music is coming to Sirius. Sirius had a channel with Frank Sinatra and similar music that is being dropped. To fill the void, the channel on XM formerly known as "Frank's Place" will be playing his music and similar songs.
Hopefully they'll take the very best of the programming and combine it. Who the hell knows what'll go on beyond that? No one. This deal is still far from complete.
With all that said, I heard Mother Love Bone with Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns a few days ago! How more deeper can you get? I was just about to change the channel when I looked at the scroll and that's what it said.
A few songs after that, I heard Oceans.
11:02 AM Now they're playing Soundgarden's "Birth Ritual", off the Singles soundtrack. Not Pearl Jam, but pretty close.
11:13 AM SOLAT just ended.

The one and only thing I want in a Sirius XM merger is to NOT CHANGE THE HOWARD STERN CHANNEL. His show is perfection now and I hope it remains that good after the merger.

That's GOT to be automatic...Some guy is probably streaming it to his computer and it captures the song information.
