Sirius-XM Merger

I hate the Sirius-XM merger. At first, I thought it might be a good thing since both companies were struggling and needed each other to survive. Now, I'm not convinced. Last week, the new company blew up the channel lineups of each service and merged them. A lot of great channels on each side were scuttled and now you have nearly identical channels on each platform. The only real choice you have is if you want to buy the "best of" packages which should honestly be renamed the "who gives a shit" packages! I have XM. I liked XM's alternative rock stations better than Sirius's. I liked Sirius's jazz station better than XM. Of course, Sirius-XM totally got it wrong in my opinion and dumped the XM alt rock stations and kep the XM jazz station. Don't get me wrong, I'm not dumping my satellite radio because the terrestial stations where I live SUCK but I really thought we weren't going to see this latest turn of events come to pass given the FCC's restrictions placed on the merger.

Needless to say, I'm bummed out and just wish I had someplace else to turn.
