Channel 74, the new blues station, just flat out sucks. Since the merger I have yet to hear some classic blues like: Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Howlin Wolf, or Blind Lemon Jefferson. Seems like they play too much "new age" blues.

Also, for three hours a day they stop playing music to let this idiot ex-x-games skateboarder babble on and on about himself. This interlude happens to fall right in the middle of my work day when I could really use some good punk to get through the rest of the day.
I HATE JASON ELLIS! He needs to ride his skatboard of the earth.

Yeah, but it gets old listening to the same songs all the time. To each their own I guess.

Ahhhh come on! Ellis' show is the $hit! The Future man. When I first heard him, I was like what a pretentious asshole. My co-worker has Sirius also in his company ride and he listens to Ellis and we listened one day and at first I was like this dude is a tool, i don't like this dude. Then after listening for about 30 minutes, i was hooked. He is HILARIOUS gets a lil stoopid some days but its still funny.
Oh well, just my .02 and i STILL hate tthe merger!!!!!

Yeah! I got in the jeep one moring and thought what happened to my stations. I later realized (while listening to octane) what had happened when I heard the DJ say welcome XM subscribers. Cool more tunes!

Default Merger Opinion

I had XM before getting my 2008 Rubi with Sirius. Always liked XM better. Less talk, more music. I miss Boneyard, but maybe it will return after AC/DC (which I like) expires.
