An Xtraordinary Mix


Kopaka's Ice Engineering

Since XM merged its programming with Sirius this morning, all my station presets are out of whack. To top it off, the station it was most often tuned to, is now off the air and online-only.

 

KIE is sad.

 

To commemorate a comprehensive post that never happened, I give you the XM channels I had preset, in their order.

  1. XM 32 The Message: In my opinion, this mix is superior to Sirius 66. It's why I was an XM fan before the sports tie-ins.
  2. XM 110 Classical Hits: ...because I'm a sucker for a string section.
  3. XM 175 MLB Home Plate: A jump point for the MLB stations. Though my fiancée would disagree, MLB > NFL.
  4. XM 140 ESPN Radio: Especially since 1280 WODT changed formats, this is my only general sports radio.
  5. XM 82 The System: I am a huge closet fan of electronic music, stemming all the way back to the days I played Descent in high school. Heh, bet you didn't see that coming.
  6. XM 4 40's on 4: I should say my music tastes are varied & ecclectic, as I also am a huge fan of Big Band.
  7. XM 70 Real Jazz: Did you honestly think with Vince Guaraldi as my ringtone, I wouldn't have a jazz station favorited?
  8. XM 199 SEC Sports: The PREMIER Division 1 athletic conference, especially for football.

There's one other, but I'll have to check my old channel list tomorrow to find it.

MLB > NFL

And NCAA [insert sport here] > MLB > NFL

 

Somehow sports are so much more fun and exciting when those participating aren't being paid for it.

 

8. The PREMIER Division 1 athletic conference, especially for football.

Not this year! Big 12! :P :P

Oh... oh... OH! HOLY COW!

 

My Sirius radio's been broken for over a year now... I had no idea that they finally managed to merge with XM!

 

Congress was TOTALLY stalling them, so they couldn't grow when they were at their strongest.

 

I miss listening to Howard...

 

So who's the predominant force in the merger? Sirius or XM? As I recall, it was Sirius trying to control the deal.

Ah, cool. Was hoping it'd go that way.

 

I need to get on ebay and buy a used Orbiter.

All I need is one bundle of wires inside with the connector ports intact to fix mine. (It tends to collide with walls, during those... "special" moments of a realationship.)

Got it at Radioshack on clearance, floor model. Never had to pay to have service. Calling up Sirius, they told us we have a "ghost" unit, meaning it's on infinitely. There were only 5000 or so made, just for store displays.

 

:D
