im really bothered by the removal of backspin, the strobe and boombox…it seems that sirius XM isnt a fan of black/related music. i dont have the whole list in front of me, but i think a classic rnb/soul station bit the dust too.

I just can’t believe they got rid of the old school hip hop radio stations. Come one that’s just ain’t fresh!

My Inno is almost exclusively tuned to 202 for O&A. When they’re not on live, I’m likely listening to recorded portions of their show that I missed throughout the day.

The only other channels I go to on occassion were Squizz (now “Octane”) and the XL comedy channels (now “Raw Dog”). So the channel switcheroo doesn’t mean much to me.

However, if O&A get forced onto Howard 100 or 101, I’ll be livid.

So far not bothered by this – a few of my presets changed, but on the ride into work this morning it sounds like the stations were really just re-named. So far no complaints.

Will happily trade Holiday, Dance, Hip hop, Country, Latin and Religion stations for O&A. Happily. Would have loved to see them show up on my dial today, but not willing to pay $48 a year for one more show.
