    On a related note, I listen via TuneIn Radio and they still have channel however after a recent update, track data is no longer listed unless they are playing something from an album. Dissapointing....

    I just don't get the fascination with listening to SiriusXM radio in the first place.
    I had a free subscription when I bought my new car and never listened to it.
    With the voice command systems in most new cars,
    using my iPod, I can tell my sound system what song, artist, album, or playlist I want to hear.
    And I don't have a monthly subscription to pay either!!
    NOW if they used SiriusXM to broadcast PJ shows LIVE...
    then it would be worth the price.
    Until that day comes, I'll just listen to what I want to hear, when I want to hear it!!

    If they do I will just cancel. I really do enjoy it, but it's the only reason I have Sirius. It's not that expensive if you threaten to cancel every time your promotional rate is about to run out, but if I am really interested in one thing and it goes away, I will keep my 5 or 6 bucks a month or whatever I pay. I only have it in one car, the car I don't drive as often, and in my car I just listen to boots and sports talk, so I can survive with out it.
    words seem so out of place.

    I've done the same.... called to cancel 6 years running and each time I get the 'we can extend your promotional rate' response. I also keep the channel primarily for Pearl Jam radio. I noticed there was abnormally high non-PJ content yesterday..... I'll likely cancel my membership if the PJ Radio Channel isn't really a PJ Radio channel.

    On another note..... I really Like the Google Play Music All Access service when paired with Sonos speakers ...
    Enjoy the music

    Here is a rundown from this morning...

    Imagine
    Impact Track: Clash/Clampdown
    Daughter
    Faithfull
    Immortality
    Crazy Mary
    Education
    Impact Track: REM/Catapult
    Other Side
    Black Keys/Gold on the Ceiling
    Mind your Manners
    Jeremy
    Rolling Stones/Hand of Fate
    Habit
    White Stripes/My Doorbell
    Glorified G
    Once



    What bothers me the most about the station is how they will play live tracks with horrible sound mixes.

    I actually haven't listened to channel 22 in a while. Have pretty much moved to the 80s and the 90s channels, I guess I just need variety.

    Just listened to it on 3 hour drive from cabin. Basically every 4th song was a different artist than Pearl Jam. Pretty disappointing as channel 22 is only reason we have Sirius radio.....

    I like XM because I don't want to use my Ipod or Iphone. I can travel anywhere in the US or Canada and get the same stations digitally clear. I like talk/news radio so I don't just listen to music in the car.

    I've been a fan since 1995. I can't imagine listening to Pearl Jam only like some do today. XM22 has never been a preset in my car. I'm still here for one thing: the tours.

    Agree with these two statements. I like listening to PJ Radio when there's a show on that catches my ear, but other than that I'm not interested. When I have listened to this station I find the prorgramming to be really sloppy; same live versions of songs over and over again and they'll play a studio cut and then a live version of the same song four or five songs later.

    Anyways, lots of other worthwhile stations people are missing out on with satellite radio.

    Am I the only one with the app? I just set that thing for "no friends/family" and I'm good.

    I was wondering if that would work for my car radio - do you know?

    I escaped it...a life wasted...I'm never going back again

    I don't know if it is just my car (later model with Sirius/Stereo/Navigation built into dashboard) but I noticed yesterday that my preset of Channel 22 PJRadio was somehow reset to a "Sirius Preview" channel.
    My other presets around there (EStreetRadio and GratefulDead) were still intact.
    Fortunately I could just scroll one or two stations either way to get to Ch.22 and reset while driving.

    I have a long commute, SiriusXM is part of my arsenal, along with AM, FM, CDs, Ipod, downloaded/streaming music on my phone, DVD, podcasts, hard drive in the car, music the kids put on usb, etc. It good to have options, and for me, Sirius still has a lot of unique content.

    As to the topic at hand...having Impact Tracks more than twice an hour sucks. If this is the way they're phasing the channel out, that doubly sucks.


    Is this where the show list goes?

    11-26-91 / 8-2-92 / 3-15-94 / 7-9-95 / 7-11-95 / 8-29-98 / 9-1-00 / 10-25-03 
    10-23-04 / 10-22-06 / 10-9-09 / 10-23-10 / 10-3-12 / 7-9-13 / 10-21-13
    11-24-13 / 11-26-13 / 10-17-14 / 10-20-14 / 10-25-14 / 4-8-16 / 4-9-16
     4-28-16 / 4-29-16 / 8-20-16 / 8-22-16 / 8-10-18 / 8-18-18 / 8-20-18

    If they are phasing it out then what are they phasing it to? If it isn't PJ radio are you saying it will be a station that plays Brandy Carlisle and The Clash? That wouldn't make sense for a station. They are probably just playing more impact tracks. It would seem if they wanted PJ radio to go they would shut it down.

    Perhaps bands buy into some sort of contract with Sirius, they pay 'X' amount of money for their own channel for say 5 years. Then decide at the end of said contract if they want to extend or not. Or maybe Sirius buys rights to a band's songs and pays the band to play their catalog for a certain period of time. I dunno...
    How long has PJ been on Sirius? Maybe they aren't getting enough listeners for channel 22. I cancelled long ago, they wouldn't let me keep the promotional rate. I really only listened to PJ and Octane anyway.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I'm sure they're getting listeners. Wasn't this supposed to be a 6 month station? Maybe a year, I don't remember because it's been on for 6 years.
