OT: For XM/Sirius Satellite radio subscribers.

OT for here, but if I can save some money for some of my friends here, then so be it.My XM/Sirius monthly subscription went up by $2 last month, from $12.95 to $14.93. That was bad enough, but commercials are staring to sneak in on the channels, so the commercial free radio is going by the wayside. Besides, their stock is tanking, and may be taken off the stock market because their stock price is below $1.00. It is $0.68 today.I called them today and told them I was canceling my subscription because of the raise in subscription rate and that commercials were starting to show up on channels. The guy on the other end was very sympathetic, like he has been hearing this reason for cancellation before. He offered the following: I pay an extra $8.45 now and I will have no payments until February 2010. Naturally, I said OK.So, if you have a subscription, call them and threaten to cancel.

I only listen to about 3 or 4 channels.regularly, and others on occasion. The 60's on 6, the 70s on 7, Nashville on 11, Blue Collar Comedy on 148. and sometimes, the 50s and 60s on 5 and 6. Nashville is one that snuck in advertising, besides having morning disk jockey bullshit..
