Yea that blows.
I get a discount on sirius products and membership. After listening to it on the way home I've been considering subscribing. But EFF that if its going to be sensored.

nah. I prefer the talk channels. A lot of them crack me up. Keeps me way more alert than music.

Certain stations on it are still on terrestrial radio, so they are censored one i can think on is mix 1 they censor all their music, i know Howard 100 and 101 are still as vulgar as ever haha and so is Octane.

I noticed a freaking Lenny Kravitz song on Lithium 24 was censored, The New Wife was wondering what was up with that. Haven't noticed if they cracked down on Ellismate on 28, I sure hope not. Don't really care about Stern, just fart jokes and a bunch of rich folks talking about how everyone in the entertainment industry owes them. (sorry, I just think Stern sucks) Was XM always censored?

I'm not surprised in the least. My experience with satallite rate comes from my dads XM. Sure it was uncensored(at the time), but all the music sucked. Infact i didnt hear one good song after scanning during an hour long drive. And the comedy channels seemed very poorly put together. I found several instances where a comedian was trying to get laugh through his actions on stage. Which makes no sense over the radio.

In the end, it was just uncensored radio...which doesnt fix the problem that radio in general f'n sucks.
