This is something I read. I didn't know about it until I read it. It has made me realize how much I've been neglecting my satellite radio. Since I lease my auto, I cannot install a satellite radio in my car. This s a problem b/c I never seem to know what is going on in the world of satellite radio anymore. Channels are always being phased out due to bottom line and other economic factors, even though they do not seem to depend on ratings so much as subscribers. I'm not sure why they decided to single out this wonderful channel. I listen to it on-line all the time. Thankfully, it will still be available on-line and as a mobile app, so I should not complain. I still is a worthy channel that should not be regulated in any way like it has failed in its appeal. Nothing will change for me. However, I feel that this is going to be the future of many such channels that do not cater directly to mainstream listeners. With Howard Stern suing his own bosses, should we be fearing for all of the channels? Something tells me this is going to get worse before it gets better. As much as I enjoy internet radio over listening to it in my car, I can feel a galactic shift happening. Are car and internet/mobile users being seen as separate audiences? Are we being marginalized? Victims of focus groups? Do the demographics not add up? Perhaps they feel that listening to this great music is too distracting to be driving to? If so, why do they leave the Playboy channel on the air?
On July 1st, Cinemagic will move off XM Satellite Radio. It will be a special channel available full-time as part of SiriusXM Internet Radio and our mobile apps.
Our flagship interview program Reel Time -- featuring interviews with directors, producers, and actors - is moving to channel 104, SiriusXM Stars Too on both XM and on Sirius. Reel Time will air Thursdays from 6:00pm-7:00pm ET, Fridays from 9:00pm-10:00pm ET, and Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00pm-2:00pm ET. We will also be adding a special weekly classic movie score show to SiriusXM Pops on channel 75 later this summer, again both on XM and Sirius.
