Dave Dumps XM (Again)

See ya, XM. I was on the fence and you pushed. Our time together has been mostly positive, but the massive lineup modifications yesterday without any advance notification isn’t the proper way to treat your customers. So I’m walking. While I fully support cost-cutting measures, such as merging Sirius & XM channels into a unified offering, I don’t support keeping customers in the dark until the zero hour. I also don’t appreciate you dropping The Rhyme and Chrome, two of my top three stations, without proving Sirius analogues. Ironic, considering the Chrome station manager was responsible for bringing me back into the satellite radio fold after my first defection. So while Chrome now maps to PG comedy (149) and adult comedy (150) no longer displays comedians, it won’t be my problem. I’ll be enjoying the more diverse and economical Internet radio offerings.
