Mr. Stern needs to give back some of that $500 million he will receive from Sirius. Get rid of Martha Stewart cause no on gives a rat's a** about her radio program or anything about her life. Sirius' debt can be solved very easily.
If Sirius XM goes under, it won't be long before Slacker will start charging for the free application they have now. Paid internet radio will be the only thing left.02-21-09 02:43 PMLike 0 - Well, think about how much you use it and it costs to have. Is it worth it? Do you use it enough that it is worth the price you pay?
If so, keep it.
If not, in this economy I would say ditch it; you can always go back.
I don't know if that helps or not. I find the radio stations I receive for free where I live to be quite sufficient in filling my need for Heavy metal rock. If I travel in an area where I can't get them....I have alternative means of listening to the music I really like.
Just my thoughts,

- Call them.
Ask for the retention department. Don't waste time with the thrid world person who initially answers-they can't do anything but read a script to you.
Tell them you are about to leave upon this renewal.
Ask the retention dep't person for a better deal to keep you.
I just renewed for $70 per year.
Did the same thing with Direct TV lowered my monthly bill$45 per month.
Only retention department personnel can do this. Its the last person before you leave.02-25-09 05:59 AMLike 0 - Call them.

As eve6er69 said, do a month to month if you're that worried about it.02-25-09 07:04 AMLike 0 - Not for nothing, but no one in this world deserves a salary of $100 million a year.

Now, before you answer that, look at the big picture...big names draw. Sirius didnt have the subscriber base they now have before Stern came aboard.
As far as no one giving a rats........ about Martha, I believe you're very much mistaken. Maybe YOU dont give a (s)hit about her (me either for that matter) but I can count off 10 names of people I know that practically worship Martha Steward.
I'm sure you've heard What Would Jesus Do...... today it's What Would Martha Do.02-25-09 07:12 AMLike 0 -
02-25-09 07:17 AMLike 0 - They sent me a notice saying that the streaming music via the web is no longer free (as of march)... it will be $3/month for that... unless... I renew NOW, in which case I could keep it free for the term of the new renewal.
That really p*ssed me off!!!
That is one of the best features of Sirius and taking it away (or charging more for it), I thought, was wrong.
So, I called them up and explained that I just got this notice and was not happy. They tried all the usual BS to convince me that it was worth it. I told them I will probably cancel when my annual agreement is up the end of Feb.
Long story short... 2 supervisors, 1 manager and the manager of "Retentions" later - I renewed my annual subscription for $75. And, as they originally offered, I get to keep the web client, without additional charge.
I asked them when an application similar to the XM streaming one, would be available for the Sirius offerings. They told me "it's in the works."
They said, under the new pricing model - it would be included as part of the web streaming package... no extra monthly charge.
I'll believe it when it happens!02-25-09 04:09 PMLike 0 -

thats a crock of crap. it is xm service!!! it is on their website so it is their service.02-25-09 04:44 PMLike 0 - They sent me a notice saying that the streaming music via the web is no longer free (as of march)... it will be $3/month for that... unless...

Now, my understanding is they are charging for the internet stream but they are doing away with the 64K version. This means, if you decide to keep the internet service and pay the fee you'll automatically get the 128K stream. It's 100% worth that $3.02-25-09 08:23 PMLike 0
