SiriusXM Nickels and Dimes with Iphone App - No Stern

Just when you thought the Iphone couldn't get any cooler, SiriusXM announced a new Iphone App.

I was so ready. So ready to convert my radio subscription to Internet and just route the whole thing through the phone...except that only a fourth of the news channels come through, NO sports and significantly enough, NO STERN.

Mel Karmazin is a good man, but at this point he clearly was just shoveling bullshit in saying that current subscribers would notice no change in the service level for the cost. We now pay more, for less songs on the music channels, unprofessional and generally bad talent on most of the channels, and for less service - we now have to pay for Internet streaming, when it came with the account. To add the insult to the injury, the world's coolest phone is further crippled by denying the two main reasons why people subscribe to SiriusXM.

I'm sorry, but what assclown at SiriusXM thinks that people actually tune in for the Oprah Channel or the SiriusXM book channel?

I've been a subcriber since 2005 and it looks like it may be about time to end this luxury. Subscribers are simply getting the arrogant shaft by SiriusXM and the only way these college graduates will learn how to retain business is by losing the business they tried to build. I'd rather switch to Pandora or another easy to use internet-based radio.

With stock shares valued at .01, it's clear that SiriusXM just doesn't want to be in business any longer.
