So far, we're okay with the change. I think XM subscribers were less affected than Sirius, judging from the channels I listen to.
We lost U-POP, but got BBC1. I think that was a downgrade. Yeah, we lost disco, but I didn't listen to disco, so no loss for me. Deep Tracks is still there and seems to still be playing the music I like. We lost Fred, but got First Wave, which is more new wave oriented, which I am quite enjoying. Lucy turned to Lithium and lost all of the really, really hilarious bumpers. I think we're most saddened by that. And the On Broadway channel seems to have lost the host and weekly shows, and seems to be featuring less and less cast recordings. If there's anything I'm going to complain about, it's this last issue.
I listen mostly to talk, and so far they have kept all of the talk channels I used to listen to and have added NPR, a definite win. I'm hoping eventually we'll get OutQ, just to say I can listen to it. (What I've heard of it previously wasn't exactly to my liking, but it's important to me that it simply exists.)
Prices going up? Probably. More DJs and commercials? Possibly. Hopefully as they lose customers and start facing new competition, things will balance out before they hit bottom.
