Why is there still no holiday music station. My local channel has been running Christmas for a week already. Kinda hackish.
DMC-12
It's HarmonioUS, NOT HarmoniYOU.
XM 35 is Holly, and it is live (has been all week). Sirius is running this channel as well... however I am not sure what the channel number is on Sirius.
You do realize it's November 15th right?
I think it's hackish to be playing Christmas music this early.
:lookaroun
I'm a total hack :ROFLOL:
:lol: I meant radio stations :lol:
What you do in your own house is your...disturbing...problem :ROFLOL:
2 weeks prior to Halloween...Home Depot had Christmas Trees on sale. (fake obviously).
Autumn gets the shaft.
I am definitely against anything before Halloween
We don't have decorations up at least- just fall ones- I wait until the day after Thanksgiving for Christmas stuff- but in my mind the holidays are starting to blend together. Part of it is the 2 year old. I can blame her, sort of, right? :lookaroun

Post your presets
I've had Sirius, and while I like some things about the merge there is one thing I don't like about it. The main station I listened to on Sirius was 1stWave, I liked that it had all the songs from the bands that were popular, and some that were not so popular. It had a wide range playing hits, and also songs that weren't hits. Now, I feel like all the off-beat bands & songs I used to hear are gone now that the two have merged. I'm not happy. I used to have 6 stations preset because I'd always listen to that one and switch over only when neccesary. I've just about doubled that number now though. It was good while it lasted I guess, I learned about some different bands, heard some good songs, and now I guess I'll just have to hook up my Ipod whenever I want to hear them, and do some digging to get some new bands. I don't know if this is me just being overly picky, or what. Anyone else listen to this station or any other and notice this? /rant
Now why I really posted here
Sirius:
1: Top 40s
4: 40's on 4
5: 50's on 5
8: 80's on 8
9: 90's on 9 (so happy to have a pure 90's station now!)
11: BBC Radio 1
22: 1st Wave
24: Lithium
25: Little Steven's Underground Garage
26. Sirius XMU (I liked the name Left of Center better, and I've noticed a more generalization in the line up of this station as well!)
29: The Loft
39. Pop 2K
Occassionally I wander over to the Broadway station, the radio classics, and the Martha Stewart channel (I spent 45 minutes learning how to make cupcakes one day!)
Overall however the merge with XM didn't do much for me, I like that I get a pure 90's station now and Cinemagic sounds like a good addition so I need to remember the number for that station and mosey over there one day.

Okay, he NHL station from XM to my Sirius RULES. I haven't left it all day. I finally found Holly online as well. Will have to check the car tomorrow to see if it tunes in.
BTW, Canadians love for hockey is AWESOME!!!! I didn't realize how much I missed daily NHL from NHL2Nite. For years, that was my favorite show on television. Scoring updates, Melrose mullets, and my personal favorite "After the Whistle". The whistle made me chuckle every time.
Oh, and there isn't anything Hackish about Christmas Music. So says the $$$$ made in mid-November on it.
When I lived in Dallas, the badwidth expanded from 1 to 2 to 4 chanels over a course of 4 years.
If you aren't one to listen to Christmas music, you probably aren't missing much on those stations that changed formats for the holidays anyways are you???

See, I don't mind it so much on satellite radio because it's a genre of music. People like to listen to Christmas all year round...and I wouldn't care if XM35 Holly was a year-round station.
Yes, it's hackish because of the reason you just said. It's just a money-making scheme by radio stations to cash in on the already "too-commercialized" holiday. It's no different than "Rocktober" or "Block-Party Weekends." It's just a way to get people to listen to the station. Who it does hurt...is the actual artists because their music isn't played on that station anymore. There are only "X" amount of stations in a given market...in Boston (at the moment) 3 terrestrial stations have gone over to the holiday format (this was started on November 1st.) At least one more station will do the switch (but at least it will be around the holidays!).
EDIT: To answer your question...yes, I am missing out (if I didn't have satellite) because 2 of those 3 stations are stations that I actually listened to. One is an oldies station (so I could get my Elvis fix) and the other is a classic rock station.

Cinemagic on Sirius is 81 I think...I was looking forward to it but all they were playing this past week has been Christmas music.

I just listen to AOL radio, it's free and you don't have to be an AOL internet subscriber (thank goodness for that...).
I have AOL Radio on my iPhone. It's a free app.
