My…preferences…did you say…?

I received another email today suggesting I set my listening preferences.  Here’s the problem: ever since I opened my account some years ago, Sirius has slowly taken off the air most of the content I enjoyed.  Swing Street is gone.  It’s replacement, the All Frank Sinatra All The Time Channel, is horrible.  Spa 73 is now an International Music channel which is, to me, almost completely unlistenable.  The trance channel (now Area 33) only plays trance at night.  OutQ has replaced one of the only two things I ever liked about it, Sunset Cruse, with one of the things I absolutely hate: Derick and Romaine.  

I actually had the factory radio in my 2005 Honda Accord pulled out and a conversion kit installed so I could have Sirius, because XM didn’t have a gay channel, and I liked the fact that you had a dedicated swing channel over XM’s 40s channel.  I discovered the trance channel and Spa 73.  It seems now as if you are trying to make me stop listening.  I have an iPod connection in the car now and I listen to the iPod Much more then Sirius.  I do not intend to keep subscribing much longer if almost all I ever listen to now is the iPod.

So, my Sirius preferences are, Sunset Cruse, Swing Street, A Better Trance Channel, New Age, Better 60s and 70s channels, and A More Listenable Gay Channel.  Signorile is really the only thing worth listening to on OutQ now.  All the other content on Sirius I like when I opened my account is pretty much gone.  Out of over a hundred channels you apparently have no room for anything I like to listen to.  I will not be subscribing much longer at this rate.

…love, Bruce.
