It looks like the “best radio on radio” is going down the Chapter 11 route. I read about this yesterday and cancelled my subscription before it was cancelled for me by a bankruptcy judge. Sure, everything might end up well, but I thought it’d be neat to hold on to my cash. Ever since the merger, I’ve increasingly disliked the service. XM subscribers have screamed and yelled about the cuts in their favorite programming. I was a fan of the old Sirius straight-ahead blues station that went away in favor of a BB King-branded channel. The new jazz station stinks more often than not. Their “college” station has become more commercial.
Goodbye, satellite. Hello, podcasts.
I guess that’s what’s killed them, hasn’t it?
