But yeah, my life would suck without Radio One. If anything, I like the mix a little better now with the merger. But yeah, my life would suck without Radio One.

I think my renewal date is in May so I have some time to think about it. But I haven't been as happy with the music selections since the merger, and my car does have a 6 CD changer and an iPod dock, so I might just go without ole XM when it expires. I never got any email like Jen did. When I heard the news I had the same thoughts–that I shouldn’t renew. I think my renewal date is in May so I have some time to think about it.

If you renew now at www.xmradio.com/lockintoday, you can continue to listen online for FREE for the length of term you choose -- but only if you act quickly." So they're asking people to renew even though they're about to file for bankruptcy (which I'm sure a lot of people don't know about). What bullshit.

What will I do without a daily dose of 'oh what's occurring?' I'm holding out that someone will buy it and programming will remain much the same.
