As Sirius goes into Chapter 11. What was your favorite channel?
OK. It may be bought out. But, if it goes down, I will miss it. Spa. Channel 72. Helped me get over some serious road rage. No pun intended. Yours?

4. Not officially, suninvited.
They have to make a debt payment, Monday. The business experts doubt they can make it. A takeover is in the works. I'm just prepping you for the worst.

9. Howard 100, OutQ, Talk Left and The Chill Channel. n/t
But I think satelite radio will be around for a while one way or another.

10. sorry, but Spa makes me gag.
Spa replaced XMs Beyond Jazz, a really good channel.

I came to it from XM. Some of the changes are better, some are worse. The rock line-up is much better with Spectrum, Alt Nation, Classic Vinyl, 1st Wave. I could never understand rock channels with names like Ethel and Lucy and Fred on XM. No clear concept or format.

I listen also to Bluesville, Real Jazz, Caliente, the Classical channel. Sometimes Soul Street.

XM killed an Afropop and a Latin jazz station that I loved a long time ago, so it is a mixed bag.

14. I really like the Spa channel

I like whatever took Lucy and Ethel's place usually.

16. Howard 100 of course.
The only reason I bought the Sirius was for Stern.

I also like Hard Attack.

It isn't going anywhere by the way. Howard talked about this in detail the other day. Chapter 11 is a re-organization. Chapter 7 would have been going out of business.
