Less than two weeks to go if the rumor is true. I guess things will be "interesting" after the transition for Sirius and for this forum. I can only imagine all the wining and complaining (no offense meant to anyone as I will probably be amongst that crowd).
Those who win will not complain. Those who don't will probably whine.

It could look something like this
Channel 12 - Elmo Channel
I agree that they need to cut expenses, but keeping Squizz and Octane isn't why they aren't making a profit. I'm sure it costs very little to broadcast a channel.Waaa the channel name Squizz is going away but oh what is this? There is still a hard rock channel out there under a different name. Get over it, people were going to get fired, channels were going to get cut. What did you expect? Their current business model wasn't making them money so they have to get rid of the expenses.
You will still have the music. Don't like it, stick in your more repetative ipod.
That would make too much sense, so it will never happen, but how about .........Channel 24: The 24 hour channel of rotating one artist a day.

Channel 26 The Boone's :The Music of Pat and Debby Boone

Leasing space in NYC, 500 million for one show, giving Oprah and Martha Stewart big money for unpopular channels, and the enormous cost in bidding for sports,This is where they need to save money.
I agree if you keep making exceptions to keep this or add that, then you end up not saving the amount of money you need to. I think they are doing whatever they have to do and granted change is hard but they are indeed an absolute necessity. Every little bit adds up to be significant over the period of a year no matter how insignificant it may appear on the surface as it is the combination of all cuts that will get them where they ned to be.
I think once this is done in the long run it will help. They are planning way down the right to move to one system and combining all the spectrum under that one system. So, this is all part of that over plan.
In the meantime there's going to be a lot of bitching about people losing their favorite stations.
