Some would take that as a compliment.

Default Left of Center is/ was way better than XMU will ever be...

that said Fred, Ethel and Lucy were all quite good on XM, even if devoid of any character.

In general I found XM a little too cold in what the channels played, maybe it was the lack of a physical DJs voice on the channel, maybe it was the overly focused lineup.

Can't say that I wasn't glad to swap my XM tuner for a Sirius one in the A3.

I find myself switching channels a bit much these days with Sirius though.

Default Punk channel was screwed from the start...

The Who then finally legit punk music then AC/DC...it seemed they couldn't get the station right.

Default If I was in charge, there would be a station that just plays Lita Ford-all day and all night.

Default Actually...

I was a Lucy, Fred, Ethel, Fungus guy but I really dig Lithum, Alt Nation, Octane, Faction, 1st Wave. Trevor really likes the AC/DC 24/7 channel. Next time you guys see him, give him and "Oy" and he'll fist pump and sing along with you or give him a "Dirty Deeds" and he'll scream "Done Dirt Cheap" right back. He rocks!

Default Self-knowledge is a good first step. As to your question...

... I hadn't noticed. Then again, I don't much fret since--for reasons I can't fathom--satellite radio service is present on my allroad and it's... FREE! Haven't paid for it in the 2+ years I've owned the car. Maybe just the cool guys receive this perk.

Default Those Lucy, Fred, Ethel, Fungus replacements are just not speaking to me.

Even XMU programming seems buggered.
