I have a bad feeling about this

I chose XM for a reason (music choice, not subsidizing Howard Stern, etc). I hope Sirius doesn't screw XM over too badly.

I'd really rather they have not allowed this to go through.

Re: I have a bad feeling about this

They made it perfectly clear that if you choose not to change your service, then your service will not change. I listened to XM and Sirius, and chose Sirius for the music selection and the NFL and NASCAR coverage.

If they were to cut out the music channels I like because they feel XM's are better, then I will not be a happy camper.

With the fact that they have 17 million receivers out there that can only pick up one or the other, I wouldn't expect channel consolidation to take place for a few years.

When did they make that clear? I have never heard that anywhere. The few details I have heard was that XM subscribers would be able to get NASCAR back and also have the NFL, and the Sirius Subscribers would have MLB and the college games now offered on XM Only.

Outside of that few programming details have been released, almost like it is a state secret.

I would be very upset if my XM music channels get changed in the process, just as I was upset when Sirius outbid XM for the rights to NASCAR.

I don't want Howard Stern and I don't want O&A either. However I would not want to keep their fans from getting whichever they want. Personally I find them both old, tired and stupid.

I just want my music channels left alone and I want my access to NASCAR back.
