So there are at least some changes although not nearly as many as there should be. They really should have gone with a standard channel lineup.

I was assured that the moves don't apply to SIRI by 2 service reps and by someone who is a manager in one of the call centers. Maybe she meant "most" won't move? But you know, the more you think about this, why the heck
wouldn't you just shift ALL these channels on both systems to the same channel designations? Howard kind of forced them to do that (since the "100" and the "101" are actually a part of the Official Name for each channel). But really, why shouldn't all these be on the same channels on both systems? Maybe that really is what Mel is going to do? And if not, why not? Mel?
