Default Sirius radio blows now

has anyone else noticed that almost all the channels are censored now!
i pay money to listen to music to be played the way it was written, not bleeped out...im sure XM has a lot to do with this as they only had a few channels that were explicit...i noticed it last night, and this morning i heard the DJ say go to channel 45 for explicit music and i was like WTF...sorry rant over, now time to email Sirius...

I listened to blue collar all the way back from San Diego and it was never sensored. That was with Sirius, not XM

yeah i think it musta just changed this week...just like you've been probably hearing over and over again is them advertising the best of XM for like 4 bucks extra so i wonder if that has something to do with the recent change...really pissed bout this...been a happy customer for about 3 years and this just sucks now...

We were talking about this at work on thursday. It does suck. Freaking paid subscription is censored. Everybody at work wrote them an email bitching that we aren't renewing our subscriptions, we can listen to censored stuff on the regular radio for free, why pay sirius for it. Write them, bitch about it, it's just like voting, if you don't...you won't be heard.
