Well have you listen to Hip-Hop/Rap 40? It is not clean any more. Here is a email that I get back from them.

Dear Richard,

We appreciate the time you have taken to contact SIRIUS regarding our
recent changes to our programming. We are here to assist you.

Richard, we regret to learn that you dissatisfied with the recent
changes in our programming. We apologize for any inconvenience this has
caused you and certainly understand your frustration.

Censorship is an important issue to us as a company. Over the years we
have offered a home for free speech to musicians, DJs, athletes, and
talk hosts – and that heritage continues today.

Three channels on our services -- Sirius Hits 1, XM 20 on 20 and The
Heat -- are listened to by a wide range of ages, including children. As
a result, we play the versions of certain songs that have been created,
approved, and provided to Sirius XM by the label and artist.

{For Hot Jamz listeners, whose new radio home is The Heat, this is a
change. After considering feedback from XM subscribers who listened to
The Heat, we felt that it was important to maintain an R&B Hits channel
that families could feel comfortable with. Accordingly, we have
substituted the version of certain songs on that channel that have been
created, approved, and provided by the label and artist.}

All other Sirius XM music channels play the fully uncensored versions of
songs in their libraries.

We are committed to providing you with the best in customer care. If
you have any more questions, please feel free to contact SIRIUS Customer
Care. For your convenience, we are available 7 days a week at:

1-888-539-SIRIUS (7474)

As well as by email at:

Have A Great Day!

Sincerely,

Danielle

I have paid for a life time of SATELLITE RADIO, and it does feal like I

I do not like that what I have paid for is CLEAN! Ever since the merge
of XM it has been that way!!!

I never had any censoring (XM customer here) till you Sirius guys came over. I listen to 40/46 and haven't really noticed a change but the comedy channel got bleeped and then they didn't bleep the f word so I cant imagine what the bleep word was? lol
