Why I Won't be Renewing my XM Subscription.

Evidently it's easy to make an "80's alternative" satellite radio station. Get a 10 disc CD changer, load it up with greatest hits CDs from REM, U2, Talking Heads, The Cure and The Clash. Put in at least three from Depeche Mode. Press shuffle.

Let a vacuous waste of oxygen with a voice made for books say stupid things from 10AM till 3PM, and add a washed up British dude for the drive time shift.

Voila, XM 44.

Oh, and for good measure, completely ignore any emails from your customers.

Fred, we hardly knew ye.
