The DJs are why I hated to see the XM Sirius merger. XM played deeper tracks from artist and didn't have DJs. I tried Sirius for a year in 04 and it was like morning FM radio all day long. Terrible. Don't have it at all now.

Yeah he’s been on CH 18 a few times but just heard it mentioned Wed he was on ch4. I love hearing his stories about how he came to write his songs.

His story this morning about the song Honesy was funny. Apparently they had the music figured out but werent done with lyrics. One of his guys would make up lyrics and kept saying sodomy. So in a rush he came up with honesty to replace it and the rest is history.

The guy on Lithium gives some interesting facts from time to time. About why a band chose their name or got an idea for a song.

I also like when they give tour dates for certain bands after a song.

So the answer to your question is bc some people like it.

XM played deeper tracks


Ever listen to Deep Tracks? It’s a pretty good station but typically only plays the deeper tracks to older, “classic” rock

The DJ's on Tom Petty Radio have been doing a very good job the last few days.

Downtown Julie Brown on 90's on 9 and Rich Davis on Pop2k add a lot to each broadcast and are really good.

I have no idea but it pisses me off that anytime I try to buy a new car, I have to have Sirius in it.

Jose Mangin and Kayla Riley are the worst. Bummed when I saw they brought her from Octane to Turbo. I do like when Matt Pinfield is on Lithium though. He actually brings something to the table.

Octane used to be great at one time.

I like the guys on Ozzy's Boneyard.

Luc Carl is pretty funny. "Remember, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning!"

Hate her guts. If she starts running her mouth in between songs, I immediately change the channel.

I don't see how Madison still has a job. Don't the producers actually want people to listen? I like the music on Lithium but I wish someone would take a flamethrower to Madison.

That's why Shade45 won't let him go. (Not necessarily trying to drop knowledge on you. I've noticed you point out the same thing on previous posts.)

DJs on Sirius XM sort of defeat the purpose of paying for music to begin with. Some of the channels are really a pain with these chatty dimwits. I just wanna hear the music. Can Bluetooth Pandora or Amazon Prime or something that’s free of chatter and charges. I like some of the channels Sirius has - but the DJs do bug me. They don’t belong.
