annoying jocks

[oasisrulz]

Dont know about you all but I am sick of hearing these annoying jocks especially on the 60's channel, if I wanted to hear chatter I can just tune into my FM or AM band.  We have to pay for this and the song lists are becoming less and less since the merger...I have Sirius in my car and XM at home and they are so repititious....no competition means they can do whatever and we suffer....who wants to hear Young and the other jocks on first wave and alt nation and that annoying girl on hair metal....it stinks at least music choice has no chatter and plays a broader variety and its free....something has to be done I have been listening to T radio more and more and the satellite less and less which is nuts...

It would be nice if the 60s channel would return to what they were before the merger.

When did you just notice the jocks on Satellite radio? XM has been around since 2001 and you act like the jocks just started this week. You didn't know all of a sudden what you were purchasing?

It would be nice if THE WHOLE NETWORK went back to pre-merger status!!

At this point in time, watching my box fans in the windows run is more entertaining than the repetitious SiriusXM (of which I was a huge fan until right after summer began).

The decade channels were better when run by XM. Sirius has ruined them.

The whole service was better when run by XM.  XM had, imho, more people dedicated to the idea of good and interesting radio.  Low-numbers channels like Fine Tuning and Beyond Jazz were wonderfully diverse examples of "good radio" that Sirius killed off to squeeze in a few more segmented rock channels.

XM did a better job of jukeboxing the channels that fit that style (like top tracks) and putting live voices on the ones that benefitted from it (60's/70's and XMU for example). 

They also had better music programmers.  The aforementioned XMU, Fred and the like are just jokes now, playing mainstream music passed off as 'alternative'.

Well said Sam.

Amen, Sam. Funny you should mention XMU and Fred; the gutting of those channels made me cancel my subscription.

I noticed right before the merger XM put on Radio Rock Random on 162 sort of a mix of all types rock...Sirius did not pick this up...
