Sirius XM to pass Music Royalty Fees to consumers

[Chob]

Seems like after the merger they made things a bit more family friendly when it comes to censoring and song length.

I'd have to add best of XM to get hockey games.

The hits channels were always censored, and there was some issue with some of the edited library from XM's DC studios getting accidentally played on unedited channels.

No. Fuck that.

I've already sunk enough into installations and other gadgets to extend my listening. I've seen the dock.. it's sweet but too little too late.

Hockey.. gone
Howard... vacation every other week
Bubba.... terrestrial

And the music channel DJ's wont' shut the fuck up.. I don't want TMZ updates or bullshit trivia.. just play the music.

And they censor the music lyrics, curse words and cut guitar solos/long versions short on some channels.

I don't pay for HBO so I can get bleeped out shit so why do so for music.

I gotta agree with this... I have not been happy with the music stations for a while now - mp3's rule these nets and will for a long time.. it's easy - you get what you want and no editing or bleeping...

I get that about the DJ's too - I've been noticing that.. IMO none of these stations should even have a DJ... it says on the PDT who is on- I don't need some jabrone telling me when I can just look up... play the song, go right into the next on.. just like satellite radio on TV - my bell has no bullshit on their audio channels - just "your listening to galaxy" every hour or so...

Some stations, like Alt Nation or Left Of Center (or whatever it's called now) - the djs are pretty cool - but I don't know how bad things have gotten since dumping the shit in February
